Hey Aura! I take metformin twice a day and spironolactone. I was on BC for years before the doctor realized it was sending my triglycerides through the roof. They should be below 200, but they were 1802. So, I was taken off BC and given tricor for the trigs. I also had no clue the BC had been...

Well I spoke too soon. I've lost almost 5 lbs this week. I like losing weight, but not from being sick. Yesterday was brutal. I had an egg and cheese english muffin sandwich, 3 bites of cheesecake (my good friend's 30th bday), a handful of fresh green beans with a little hummus, rice and soup...

I felt alone and miserable before, but now that I'm having all of these GI issues I feel it's a double whammy. PCOS is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I've been in so much pain for the past few years and working on bettering my health, but now with the stomach issues it feels fruitless. I've been...

Right now I am working 20 hours part-time as a customer service rep for a media company, but am currently searching for full-time work as a new grad LPN :-)

A life without soup is no life at all...

LOL good to know! I remember being sic as a kid and losing like 5 lbs in a week. So when the scale didn't move after a month and a half, I thought it was strange, hehe.

I think that's my issue. I'm definitely a food addict so avoiding certain foods is proving to be incredibly difficult. *sigh*

Well, I'm new to these gross symptoms and I was craving the soup I love to make, lol. This is the first time popcorn has ever made me so sick. And I absolutely love it :-( I am not trying to lose weight by means of D, I am just very surprised that my weight has not fluctuated with food going...

I've noticed that most of my D is comprised of food. Actual, distinguishable pieces of food. I made a pot of soup last night, and today it was all there: broccoli rabe, white beans, carrots, and sausage. Oh, and popcorn from the night before. I'm overweight, and yet it doesn't seem like...

Hey Sorb. I'm in the process of figuring out what's going on with me, and I've been having bad lower right quadrant pain, too. But I've also had D for a month and a half. It comes and goes and aches after I go to the bathroom. I am actually visiting a specialist tomorrow morning. I saw go with...

Hey all, thanks for the well wishes. I went to the ER tonight for a CT scan and from the beginning the doctor didn't think there was anything wrong with me. Apparently it's normal to have severe diarrhea for weeks on end, several times a day. Normal for severe pain in my lower abdomen that...

Hey Dexky!! The doctor used a small scope to check up there and said he found evidence of ruptured hemorrhoids, irritation from the D. Thank you for the luck!

I've had GI issues for years now, but it never occurred to me I might have some real problems. Over the past year or two I've been getting instant, terrible stomachaches that end with me rushing to the toilet. Over the past month, I have had diarrhea almost every day straight. There were 2-3...
