    Pain not related to food?

    I haven't had any tests yet. I am making myself appointments soon, though. Last time I went to the doctor for my abdominal pain they just told me to try tums and sent me on my way without running a blood test or even checking for tenderness or anything. But I am hopefully going to be getting...

    Pain not related to food?

    I see a lot of people cut out certain trigger foods, but does anyone have pain for seemingly no reason at all? The weird thing is that sometimes my abdomen hurts when I drink, whether it's water, gatorade, coffee, etc. Immediately after I drink. And I know it's not my stomach because it's high...

    I have no idea

    Thanks PsychoJane & raesunflower I know nobody can diagnose me over a forum but now I know what symptoms to focus on when I go to the doctor (the ones that everyone seemed to mention), and then throw in the rest as a "well if it matters there's also this..." type of thing. Hopefully doctors...

    I have no idea

    I am actually wondering if it is common to have either both Crohn's AND Lupus or if it's possible that something like Lupus would cause similar abdominal symptoms. I looked up lupus and the rash that I get on my arm looks, to me, like a really mild case of discoid lupus. It's a circular...

    Symptoms & Doctors

    I was going to say I don't think dehydration is possible because I drink like 3 litres of water a day without sweating it all out or anything but now that I think about it, my knuckles aren't as bad, nor are my dry lips or anything like that and I have been constipated. Maybe I was no absorbing...

    Symptoms & Doctors

    I actually bought my own toaster, cutting boards, cooking and eating utensils, pots, pans, plates, etc. I didn't drink any soda with caramel colouring or take any pills. I also didn't eat anything I didn't cook myself which normally was something like bell peppers and rice, salad, or fruit. I...

    Symptoms & Doctors

    I checked these out and iron deficiency anemia definitely seems to be possible, which is odd because hemochromatosis runs in my family. I will see about trying to eat more meat and plant based iron and see if I feel any better.

    Symptoms & Doctors

    Thanks Cat-a-Tonic! I tried to mention pretty much everything that I feel isn't normal with me because you never know! I don't know if it could be Raynaud's but my hands don't look like that picture on Wiki. It's more like pale hands and then the skin over the bumpy part of each knuckle is red...

    I have no idea

    So this is my story, I have posted it in the Undiagnosed Club as well. So I have always had a "nervous stomach", getting D any time I had to wake up early (usually for a big event or outing) or any time I had a performance or test etc. I seemed to never have colds but any time any sort of...

    Symptoms & Doctors

    Hi everyone... I understand that nobody can diagnose anything over a forum but I don't have any medical insurance and the doctors at the country hospital are absolutely rude and do not take me seriously and I don't know what to do. I am trying to investigate my symptoms (as related or unrelated...
