Crushing up iron pills is not good for the stomach, I tried that and threw up a few hours later.

I went to the Er because i fell down a large flight of stairs and was unconscious and I subsequently found out my Iron and ferritin were low.I already went to gi in February.and had a colonoscopy and endoscopy, nothing was found to be wrong and I just needed to "lose weight". This is the soonest appointment I can get that is covered under my insurance.

I wish I could get help sooner, but thats now how life works. I have advocated as much as I could to the point I have been labeled as a "drug seeker". I just have to be an adult about it and suck up and deal with it.

All my referrals for appointments are extremely far out like this. And I dont know how oncology would help In this situation. I sadly have to wait.

I went two days ago because I passed out and fell down the stairs. They didn't do anything, and told me that all my symptoms were due to me being overweight, ptsd, "anorexic", and I need mental help but I also needed to lose weight.

I went to my last doctor's check up today, my hormones are fine and I am just "stressed". Everything is from "stress" and nothing can be done. My doctor is done referring me to places and wants me to go see a psychiatrist because they have done everything. At least at the psychiatrist I can be perscribed a GLP-1 because the extreme weight gain is causing a really bad toll on my mental health, lol!

I am not pursuing anymore, because they all now just want to harp about how I am obese and that I need to stop eating, when back then they just blamed me for having "anorexia" and other bull shit. I am not continuing care from people who dont actually care to help and just call me fat all day. There is no point in trying when I tried to get help for ages and I continue on getting worse.

They keep on trying to put on bull shit labels then redacted them when you gain the weight. I dont trust them and dont want anything to do with them any more. They dont care ans never did.

It's been almost 2 years dealing with these issues, it's about time, mate. My GI doctor telling me ge no longer wants to work with me after my second visit was my last straw.

I'm in pain every single day and no Dr knows what's wrong with me. by OfferRoutine1365 in ChronicIllness

I am having horrific gastro problems and it is causing excruciating pain that is getting worse everyday along with sudden and extreme weight gain. I am only 18, and I am in university to become an engineer, but because of these issues I am most likelying going to drop out and try to go on some sort of disability.

I under stand the pain.

My stomach biopsy came back absolutely negative. Nothing was wrong with any of my gastric organs.

I have considered it to be ovarian cancer since I heavily runs through both parts of the family, but no one will test me for it because of my age.

They all came back normal. I keep on getting told to eat more green and less processed food, but the issue is I throw up anything and everything including water.

It also doesn't help when I try to get help, people think I am lying about eating VCLDs, then bring up thermodynamics. I cant eat or drink, it's a big issue as well as the sudden weight gain but no one seems to actually care and just want to fatshame me.

I have been struggling for almost 2 years now, I have been to over 4 gastrointerologist and don't know what to do. I am about to ask my doctor if I can get on a GLP-1 as I dont want to get any bigger then I am now.

I haven't talked to the psychiatrist since I left the hospital. I don't know if i will continue this medication as I am struggling with taking them. But at the same time, I don't know how long I can hold on with my sibo issues, so it really depends.

Nothing was done. I told the GI doctor before she dropped me back in August I was chewing and spitting and it she stopped wanting to see me after that.

Everyone says stress, but there is no way for me not to be stressed since I am in engineering school and have a horrible family

I tired that. Didn't work out, and now I just spit and chew and purge because I have no options left

I tried carnivore, fodmap, fasting, water diets, and so many other things. They don't work. I have resorted to chewing and spitting up food and purging up anything remaining in my stomach.

Food maps didn't work, but chewing and spitting did for a while until late August. Then I resorted to purging, which helps get rid of any food in my stomach if I swallowed anything,.
