I have been having the WORST attacks lately!! I just went to my DR today, and he ordered MORE tests. I feel like a d*mn lab rat. How many more tests does one person need?? I have had test, after test, after test for almost 9 years!!
Now he wants to do a gastric emptying study (I really do not believe I have gastroparesis), and about 6 different blood tests. I wanted him to do a celiac test, but he said we did one 3 years ago and it was negative. But I stopped eating all gluten for about 5 months and started feeling better, then just started eating it again about 3 weeks ago, and I have gone downhill FAST!! LOTS of gas, bloating, headaches, fatigue, heartburn and alternating constipation/diarrhea. I have heard of people having a negative celiac test and then years later having a positive one, right?? Am I freaking crazy, cuz I sure as heck feel like it!!??
I think I just want to cut my stomach out. They really need to start doing stomach transplants. I feel like all I do with my free time is sit in front of my computer and do research on all my crazy symptoms trying to figure out a simple explanation of why I feel so freakin bad! There just has to be something besides "Oh we can't find anything causing all your symptoms so you have an Irritable Bowel" What the heck is that about? ...and Heather's diet used to work for me, but now it doesn't. So WHY not? My body is so screwed up!! One day I can eat a something and the next day it makes me sick.
I have done EVERYTHING I possibly can to help myself over the past 9 years. I have given up caffeine, spicy foods, tomato sauces, alcohol, dairy, fried foods, egg yolks, red meat, onions, chocolate, sodas...the list goes on and on. So what do I do now?? Stop eating?? What the h*ll am I supposed to eat?? I have taken 40mg of Prilosec for almost 9 years now. It can't be good for someone to stay on a RX proton pump inhibitor for that long.
Sorry for the long post, but I am truly having a melt down. I have not been this frustrated and depressed for a very long time....
Thanks for reading, sorry -
