Digestive Issues
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hello. I am a male, 18 years old. Never had any digestive problems.
For the past 8-9 months I have been suffering a lot health wise.
It started with mucus in my stool and frequent diarrhea. It stopped after 2 months.
Then I started to lose weight (6 kgs in 5 months).
I also developed nausea and slight acid reflux. It's been like 6 months I have been constantly nauseated. The nausea is maximum in the mornings and it reduces after I eat/drink something or burp a lot.
I visited my doctor and he gave me some ppi medication, antacids and vitamin supplements.
I gained like 3-4 kgs within 2 weeks. But my nausea didn't stop. So I visited him again.
He asked me to get a blood test (normal), endoscopy (nothing found) and stool test (giardia parasite came out). He gave me antibiotics. I gained lot of weight again in 2-3 weeks. But I still am nauseated. Also, I find some weird black and white dots(like mustard seeds) on my stool only sometimes. I don't think that that is blood. Sometimes I even find some undigested food particles in my stool. It sometimes also burns a bit when I poop. I went dairy free for a month and it didn't made any difference. Although when I went gluten free for a month I felt really nice.
I have to go to college next month. So I want to get all well before I go for my studies.
If anyone can help, please do. I need it!

I HAve just been told i have post infectious sibo relating back to the semonella sounds like you have PI ibs too - very common after a bacterial infection like semonella and giardia - it damages the gut lining. Try the fodmap diet - it may help although nothing much has changed for me. Still
Don't have an appetite and can't put on weight I've lost about 7kgs. Most was at the beginning but can't put it on. I have however cut out gluten diary alcohol
And processed foods so that's contributing also
To Loss of weight. It's crap and makes you miserable goodluck
