In the past 3 months I have lost about 15 lbs without trying. I have done numerous x-rays of chest, abdomen, spine and neck. Everything has came back normal. I have also done plenty of CBCs, urine checks, ultra sound of abdomen, brain MRI, colonoscopy and endoscopy and all came back normal!! What in the heck is going on man!?!? I know something is off within me, I even have a different kind of smell to my sweat, kind of like a fruity, sweet smell. My stool has also changed in the last 2 months, it is now consistently soft and fluffy, it dissolves in water.

I dont have severe abdominal distress, only gastric symptoms are lots of gas after eating or drinking anything. No stomach pains or anything. My stomach does make lots of noise at night and feels like its tightening but no pain at all.

I have also been feeling an uncomfortable pain or sharp pain in both my flanks (kidney areas) and middle of spine.

Could this be some type of bowel disorder that could have been missed through colonoscopy and endoscopy? I need as much help as I can get, I am only 33 years old. Please help me!

Doctors seem to think its anxiety thats making me lose weight. Has anyone ever heard of anxiety raising metabolism to where its dropping pounds? I have been eating normally as I always have been. And why does my body odor smell sweet?

My vision has also changed for the worse, with eye floaters and blurred vision along with fogged brain.

I am desperate to find help, any clues will help

Thank you and God Bless!

    Sweet-smelling sweat and unexplainable weight loss are both signs of diabetes. Please have your blood sugar checked as soon as possible, im so sorry no one has replied for two whole weeks
