Stomach pain and weightloss
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hi All
For those of you with h-pylori or even other stomach issues...im wondering if this has been your experience. I am a 44 y/o female.
About 3 months ago, I had started a no gluten, no dairy, no egg, and no soy diet. It included supplements such as Vitamin C, methyl folate, B 12, zinc, and 16 ounces of celery juice every morning. I felt pretty good. Then about three weeks ago I added Maca root to my regimen. Within a week, I had stomach pains, bloating, gas, belching, watery diarrhea (and constipation in the same day), bloating, gnawing feeling in the stomach, loss of appetite, delayed digestion, nausea, etc. I noticed I had started to lose weight. I stopped all supplements and went back to a regular diet. The nausea and stomach pains subsided (though, I notice celery juice brings them back). My appetite came back. All of the other symptoms remain, but I am still rapidly losing weight. I am consuming 1800 calories a day. I have lost 8 pounds in the 3 weeks that I have been dealing with this. I was tested for h-pylori (neg) years ago, but not recently.
Typically, I'll eat something and it runs through me in 40min. with the result of loose stools. If I hold it in (for lack of finding a bathroom) it'll turn to constipation by that evening or early next morning. I do have IBS, but this is very different. Ive definitely never lost weight with IBS, especially with an 1800 calorie diet. Had an abdominal CT one year ago and an EGD/ Colonoscopy, which showed some mild inflammation, but otherwise fine. Has anyone had this experience with stomach issues?
