    Misdiagnosed with Eating Disorders?

    Furthermore, a Dr is ONLY supposed to dx someone as psychological or somatic AFTER EVERY OTHER possibility has been exhausted. That was OK back int he 1800s when a total physical was rubbing your head and maybe listen to your heart. Now we have gene testing, heavy metal testings that most...

    Misdiagnosed with Eating Disorders?

    These stories are just appalling! WHen they talk about "Eating Disorder Awareness" they nede to understand what it is NOT. I also had the issue of feeling anxiety AFTER being tortured by food, not before. I never felt fat until my stomach really was distending! And I, too, KNEW I was skinny...

    Misdiagnosed with Eating Disorders?

    CDJ- That is UNBELIEVABLE! A child already Dxed and a boy? He obviously had low risk! I think Drs are now saying, "Hmmmmm. We have no idea. Let's just say mental health." Further, mental health is getting a crap load of funding in the states with the AHA so it will be a booming business even...

    Misdiagnosed with Eating Disorders?

    Hello, un! That is such a terrible experience and I know what it is like. The abuse in eating disorders centres are common. The blame, the humiliation, the cruel ways to torment a young girl who cannot eat! I also had that pain which caused me to say, "Well, I cannot eat!" And everything was...

    Misdiagnosed with Eating Disorders?

    I have posted elsewhere on this and learned it is not that uncommon for some of us to be told we have anorexia or other eating disorders and are misdiagnosed for decades while Drs hammer away at that. How many of us has this happened to? I was 14 when I was dxed with anorexia despite...

    Self Diagnosing and Genetic Tests-

    No, you are helping others, I will be the one to stop. I did not mean to stress you or myself out. It is just not a good fit for me to be here, but that is OK. There are many other places for people who feel the way I do. I wish you and everyone here healing and peace. .:smile:

    Self Diagnosing and Genetic Tests-

    Sarah- I know you cannot advocate it, but that is why I came to the UnDx club because I am done. If it makes people uncomfortable, I do not have to stick around but I wish everyone health and healing. We will all find it one way or another and we are all on different paths. :smile:

    Self Diagnosing and Genetic Tests-

    Oh dear, Nurse. That is terrible and I am glad you had such a good friend! Are you doing better now? Do you still have food restrictions? Oh yes, I have been worried about obtructions. I do have Drs I trust now but I try to use the medical system as little as possible because I react to so...

    Self Diagnosing and Genetic Tests-

    Oh Un! I am so glad I am not the only one! You went through exactly what I did. I remember so clearly the Drs making fun of me and telling me i was killing my parents. I was in so much pain and all they saw was what they wanted to believe. Thank you guys for responding and listening. I hope I...

    GMOs in food and increase incidence?

    I am wondering if you all believe that GMOs are causing more cases of Crohns, et al? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1388888/GM-food-toxins-blood-93-unborn-babies.html http://www.saynotogmos.org/scientific_studies.htm We do not require labeling in our country and my symptoms have...

    Embarassing- Gas

    NoGutsNoGlory- Hee. What a great name! Yes, I am going to an allergist in June. I am afraid to eat anything now. I am sure it is the contaminated food supply. I read that there are a lot more food allergies out of the blue and some say it could be the genetic modification we have allowed in...

    Embarassing- Gas

    Thanks for the hugs and the response! Yes I would be on that podium right with you. It is terrible. I have a lot of pain and feel terrible right now. I have a Dr that is helping but no Dx because I am not going through anymore tests. I have had enough. It hurts so bad because I had to go off...

    Embarassing- Gas

    Does anyone else also get gas? I do not mean a bit of wind. I mean unremitting nonstop blasts that make it so you cannot be around people? No matter what I eat or how little, it's so bad, my stomach actually bloats. I have people ask if I were pregnant. It's awful and if I eat a thing other...

    Self Diagnosing and Genetic Tests-

    I know there will be many who disagree with me here. I have been in agony since age 14 with my stomach. I have a diary and I have kept notes about this every since. At 14 I could not eat ANYTHING, so I stopped. What followed was a DX of Anorexia with no regard to the physical. This obfuscated...

    Undiagnosed Club Support Group

    I think I will fit in here! Hello! I have been in digestive agony since age 14. Because I could not eat, I stopped eating but instead of looking at the pain, the Drs just said I had anorexia and sidetracked everyone. During "recovery" I was in so much pain that all I could do was lay there...
