Hi, I am not an English native speaker so there could be a few mistakes in the text. I have had problems since I was 23 ( I am 28 now ). I used to be always skinny and I wanted to change it. So I started working out a lot and eating way more proteins and carbohydrates than I used to. Of course, I bought things like protein, bcaa, gainer, and creatine. So I gained a lot of weight. Unfortunately, most of the weight was obviously fat so I decided to reduce weight by carbohydrate cycling. I lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time and then it started. I started to feel weird when it comes to digestion. After pooping I didn't feel the same relief as I used to. Also, my stool was getting quite yellow. When it comes to shape, sometimes it was just diarrhea, sometimes, it was very thin and solid, sometimes just some floating pieces.. but sometimes all was good. Sometimes I feel weird weakness in my entire body, especially in my joints and my digestion seems to be the cause of this. It is getting worse after pooping. I also feel cold sometimes and of course, I am bloated quite often. But sometimes I feel awesome and don't even think about my digestion, I feel so healthy, and then it comes again. It feels like there was some hole in my intestines that sometimes letting all the food inside my body and sometimes the hole is closed. Like today. I felt great since morning until 2pm. Then some food got to my colon and suddenly I feel cold, weak and have weird feeling in my belly. When gas comes out it smells so bad. I am not looking forward to going to the toilet since it is going to be even worse and I will have to use a shower to clean my anus. I haven't found any connection between what I eat and how I feel. It is just coming randomly. Of course, I have done all the blood tests, colonoscopy, endoscopy, ultrasound, etc. All was good including my other guts' tests. The only thing that could lead to something was a bit higher bilirubin. I had been working out a lot so doctors said it is completely normal in that case. I have also tried a food sensitivity test which shows I shouldn't eat gluten products, milk, and pea. Apparently, I could have intestinal permeability which I have tried to fix by eating a lot of fiber, healthy fats, fishes, vegetable, fruits, grains, etc. But it didn't help. Actually, a lot of fiber in my diet made it even worse. My stool was more yellow and I felt worse after pooping. It seems there is no more help for me. I really hope some of you guys used to have similar symptoms that you were able to fix or at least reduce.
hi jelen, we will try to help on here. you need to ask for a COELIAC test, they will test your blood and then you can have a camera in hospital if the test is positive. if not ask to see someone about your diet, a DIETITIAN. you need to tell your doctor if your poo is different! it needs sorting out, you need to know what is good for you and what is bad. tell us after and we will try to help.
Has your doctor mentioned IBS since all your tests have been negative? Do not not worry there is always help out there for you. I told myself there was no more help for me, but there was, Try a food diary. Do you experience any abdominal pain that moves about? If so, try painkillers and ask your doctor for an antispasmodic. Diet change can irritate the gut; perhaps that triggered your symptoms?
My gut problems began in 2015 and it took three and a half months of despair and negative tests before I got an IBS diagnosis. Everyone is different with IBS, but my symptoms included moving abdominal pain with four different types of pain, bowel
habit change, nausea, back pain and extreme health anxiety. Keep going back to your doctor who will diagnose you, reassure you and give you treatment. There is always hope. You are not alone.
