I Need GI HeLp

[< <Samson> >]

Seriously, I am at a loss


I have been having lower gi issues for the last 3 years. . . Well, I figured it was the drugs < Dropped all of em, including all roids aside from 250mg of a test a week, then I dropped the booze. . . . .This was over two months ago & I feel worse than ever. . . For the last 6 or so, i have been house ridden at least 3-4 out of the 6

Found the inguinal hernia - apparently it isn't shit. The surgeon said: sure, I can fix that, but it will most likely not correct your gI issue < My hernia doesn't protrude & doesn't do shit, but it is there & can theoretically cause an issue one day


It was found when they did a full body CT scan. . . . Which was done at the ER after I got my ultrasound


Ultrasound was perfect & only showed one 3mm gall stone


The Lady MD requested every possible test including h Pylori - which I did test for positive a decade ago, this was done through BW, this time it was a breath test(I should of stuck with the crap test) - it came back negative




Nothing is abnormal anywhere - specially on my last CMP when I was fully hydrated



I am on day 4 of a diet consisting of a self prescribed prevpac. . . . I am at wits end here, I feel something short of death - and everyone has a different answer



So far, I have no clue what to do - I have been stuck in the house shitting 3-6x a day. . . . . . At this point, anything that gets me help isn't tmi for me









Last one up is a Gi with a cam up each end - ok, fine - but, one a biopsy from your gut will be more than unpleasant & two - wtf r u gonna find? If anything was anything it would of showed up on 2 back 2 back scans



And, where/what is the pain right under the right rib cage radiating almost to the belly button & back on the right hand side of the body

Dang man, the only thing I can think of right now is maybe switch to very digestible diet for a while. Something simple like ground beef and rice...cottage cheese and yogurt if you don't have lactose issues...soft scrambled eggs.

I'm surprised they haven't blamed it on gluten intolerance. That seems to be the default issue when they can't find anything wrong.

[almostgone]

I know this is getting frustrating as hell.

She did the test! Ciliac disease - negative

And my diet is as dry as tree bark - wtf, I look too good to feel like this + my bw is damn near tits

I mentioned this last year to you.

Gastro peresis.

[< <Samson> >]

I mentioned this last year to you.

Gastro peresis.

I can’t say I rule it out

But, what’s the cure

rn my diet consists of; chicken, eggs, izikial bread & olive oil < yes, really / that’s it + psyllium husk & did just start drinking kamboocha(or whatever it’s called)


This shit got me by the nuts now, I’m barely able to keep up my weight

[Windex]

Sent you a PM

[< <Samson> >]

Dang brother, I'm sorry life is treating you like sh!t right now ..

Fucked up part is everything else is real good atm. . . . . Shit, I just made it back from driving across the US(east to west). . . No probs at all for 3+ days. . . . I get home, eat out a few times had maybe a beer(not even 2) and less than a week later I'm in a pretzel - and this shit lasts for weeks now. . . . . Wife #2 is at a loss, #1 thinks I'm making shit up - and, I feel like I'm losing my mind. . . . It's like back pain(which luckily hasn't come back), no one can see wtf you're going through



When I was going in for my ultrasound with the intensity of pain I thought I was done for - yet all the organs, checked out A ok



At this point I am thinking it's some sort of erosion - but, how can it come & go?

You got to get alkalinity in your gut.

Cure takes a while. Worst thing that hurts it is eating before bed and opiate, opiate takes pain away temporarily, but stops motility in gut, leaving food just sitting no where to go.

It's like a feeling of "I have to puke and puke and puke to get this out of me"

Try not eating about 2-3 hours before bed, limit dairy, no alcohol, and spicy food

It's not a heart burn feeling, just a tight pain in too of gut right under rib cage, correct?

Time.

When you start feeling better, don't backslide. Keep food out of you 3chiurs before bed.

Try digestive enzymes and probiotics.

Puritans pride enzyme 13. Worked wonders on me

Tell me if this isn't damn near exactly what you feel like

That was going to be my suggestion as well.

You can also try mixing a little backing soda with some juice to drink when it gets bad. I use to do this. I had an issue for about 1yr but I found the cause, more or less. Crazy coworker was poisoning my food at work, yes really. He got fired for other things and no I never found out what he was putting in it. I dont really want to know.

Are you sure you wife isnt poisoning you? It happens.

[< <Samson> >]

^ this is the kinda shit that makes me lose my mind

Considered them all

Everything sounds like something else

Nah, it's not the wives - for certain


I am hoping for the best after this prev pac. These antibiotics alone make life a living hell

Sorry to hear that and i hope you get it figured out soon. If you haven't tried it do the pro biotechs and yougurt.

Antibiotics kill the good enzymes.

IBS? Like everyone else says try the pre and probiotics.

Samson you said you made it cross country 3+ days with no issues. What did you do different? Not kidding.....what was different? McDonalds, Burger King....If you can go 3+ days on the road and your symptoms return when you get back something you are doing at home is probably the issue.

You said...."my diet consists of; chicken, eggs, izikial bread & olive oil"..........maybe too much oil? Try cutting out one thing at a time for a couple of days and see if something really shows it's self to be the problem. Even cut out the protein powder or beer or whatever.

Thats a damn good catch.

My most servere stomach issues occour on the road. Something normal probably aint so normal.

I might add the thing that is cut out should be cut out longdr than a couple days.

Gluten takes three days to two weeks to start seeing improvement.

[SocioMachiavelli]

I'm aware that you have been tested for gluten intolerance, have you been tested for other food allergies or intolerance's? There are many that perhaps as well studied as others but could cause significant issues


As 600 said, you went three days without issue..... so it is either something you are doing, eating or a stress reaction which is driving it. Anything you are taking to help digestion issues.... you need to stop if possible and strip everything back.

Start a log of what you are eating, what are you are taking, your stress levels and ultimately how your GI issues are.... be detailed with your log... how many times you are in the bathroom etc. Resist the temptation to start throwing in Probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes etc as these will just mask the issue. The medics so far have obviously drawn a blank, I know the tests came back negative for this or for that... so we aren't interested in that. What you are interested in is what causes the issue... so if the test says negative but you realize gluten is causing an issue, ignore the test and listen to your body.

Get a bag of peppermint candy and spend a day sucking on them as often as you can stand it.

Not kidding.

If it gives any relief, buy some enteric-coated peppermint oil capsule. Peppermint oil has been used to soothe the stomach for ages. I have used it for that (and it worked!) and John Wayne's character mentioned it in the film "True Grit:"

I'll have a peppermint to settle my stomach.

The enteric coating stops them from dissolving until after they've passed through the stomach, which reduces how much you'll burp peppermint. It wasn't a cure but it was relief.

Probiotics also helped me. The good stuff has living bacteria in it so it has to be refrigerated. I bought my at a health food store (same place I got the peppermint oil capsules).

The closest I've found to a "cure" was sucralfate, which is sort of a prescription pepto bismol.

Grandfather used peppermint for his ulcer for years driving a truck.
Switched to cayenne pepper regiment and it healed supposedly.

[Chrisp83TRT]

Let me ask

What is your diet like bro ?

Do you eat alot of inflammatory foods ?
I have a terrible stomach and I can tell you going vegan has done wonders for me ...

Yeah yeah I know I'm vegan blah blah no one wants to hear that shit anymore

And I'm not at all trying to convert you but consider reading up on foods that are inflammatory . They will wreck your insides .

Bodybuilders that aren't vegan do have alot of foods that kill the gut.

Consider reading up on it bro.

Glad you kicked the drinking ... Was a good choice for your long term health

I read that fast. I completely was like wtf,

"Ceyanne pepper refrigerant healed suppository"

I had to re read that a few times. Lol

Any hot pepper I eat feels like it was a direct suppository.

Might as well put it straight in the toilet and cut the middle man out.

Cayenne pepper is not the same for some reason. I found Cayenne is the Only thing that helps with a severe sore throat. Gargle with a little in water, no it's not bad like you would think or put some in some chicken soup.
