Super bloated, hardly any bowl movements, feet and hands numb
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hello. I am 48 about 250 pounds ( lost 12 pounds recently) and no health insurance. For the past several weeks I have been super bloated, I might use the bathroom once a day if I'm lucky. I just recently quit drinking and smoking ( 3 days ago ) and I hit them hard for the past 4 years.
My feet and hands are numb, my wounds don't heel. I have open cracks in my heels. Doing some research, it seems I have diabetes and GERD and a poor circulatory system ( I could be wrong on these )
I completely changed my diet past 2 days, basically I'm eating like a vegan ( very difficult )
I'm desperate for help, I want to live so I can look after my ailing mom.

George, so sorry to hear you're having a bad time. Great that you want to be there for your Mum!
Going less to the toilet is most certainly caused by giving up smoking. I also think that you have given up so many things at once that your body might need a bit of time to adjust. Great that you have given up drinking and smoking, that will be your best decision ever, but not easy. So maybe go a bit easier on yourself with the diet.
As far as your numb hands and feet it could be diabetes or it could be withdrawal symptoms, I would urge you to see the doctor about this.
Good luck!
