Hello everyone,

About 2 months ago I started getting extreme heartburn ( I am 22 ) with severe pain in the strenum area ( below centre of the breastbone ) and on the left hand side of the chest. I was told about an infection by the doctor as I had swollen lymph nodes on my stomach which was shown in an ultrasound test. I had a brain MRI which came back normal ( because of dizziness and off balance ). Then my doctor put me on antibiotics and PPIs. I completed the course and still was not able to recover so my doctor insisted me to continue the PPIs as I am having bad and severe acid reflux. In between the medication I was told to go under a barium meal test which came back normal. I am extremely worried about my weight from the day this all started it is continuously decreasing I have lost 8-9 pounds and is still losing the weight. I have extreme diarrhea including lots of muscus ( clear ). What should I do please help me out I have become thin and is afraid of cancer ( weight loss is the main symptom of cancer I guess ) !!

    Firstly...calm down. Stressing out won't help. Sounds like you have gastric issues, possibly gastritis. Was the infection h pylori?

    If you have got gastritis then healthy diet and ppi is what you need to heal.

      The main point which stress me outs is weight loss. My weight is just going on decreasing no matters what I eat thats the main trigger for my stress.

    Have you been tested for H pylori and asked about IBS?

      No I never got tested for H. Pylori. As I said I had a barium meal follow through test which came back normal and that's the reason my doctors are neglecting everything.

      If you are stressing, this will not be helping your weight loss.  Try some distraction techniques like your hobbies, exercise and meditation.  Even if you are eating normally, stress can still make you lose weight.

      I still have IBS and I will probably have it for life because stress is my trigger. IBS comes and goes but some people do get rid of it for good; my brother did.  However, everyone is different.
