I'm a 45-yr-old female who lost 25 lbs. within 6 wks. before I became completely unable to eat. I'm post-menopausal; no period in over 2 yrs. sometimes I can tolerate fresh broccoli & frozen French fries, but I usually live on Ensure. I've had 2 CT scans, every GI test available, including colonoscopy, endoscopy, & small bowel follow through. I've also had complete blood work. no one knows what's wrong with me. I had a normal annual Gyn exam 1 month before my other problems started, so the GI doctor didn't consider any gyn problems. However, I've recently begun spotting. Now I'm very scared. I'll be scheduling an appointment with my gynecologist tomorrow.
Does anyone know what may be wrong with me? I know my gynecologist will do blood work (again!) along with biopsies and an ultrasound. But I'd really like to know what may be going on, so any advice is greatly appreciated! thank you.
I have nothing to help, Hon.
Just good luck!
Let us know how it turns out.
You just lost 25 lbs. I lost 25 kg in 2 years with GI problems. I have IBS like symptoms with diarrhea, gastritis which is mild but even tomatoes causes havoc. I can eat only bland food. the doctors says look ibs but the weight loss doesnt make sense. I have gone for all the tests you can imagine including cancer marker test. all negative. Well, i`m lost here myself.
Have you eliminated foods that are known to cause GI distress? like dairy, gluten.
