This started almost 6 years ago. I have had endoscopy and colonoscopy done and nothing comes up. I think it is impacting the absorption of my iron pills.My stomach sticks and it bloats to one side sometimes and I feel no hunger pangs and I have constant gas. When I touch my stomach it doesnt feel normal and feels kinda lumpy and doctors say its normal. I have got myself checked for Crohns, Celiac and IBS..nothing shows up. I don't know what to do and this is impacting my life in a major way. Anyone else  dealing with the same?

I have severe iron deficiency, B12 issues and severe vitamin  D deficiency..

    If you have IBS, nothing will show up because it is a functional disorder and doesn't affect the structure of your colon. If you have vitamin and iron  deficiencies, this may be the source of your symptoms?  What does your doctor say?

      The doctors have just told me to compensate with the supplements and can't find a reason why I am so severely deficient. I am thinking of going to a naturopath, although I don't know if they are any good
