Hi everyone.
I name is Mike and I'd like to see if anybody else who had the same symptoms that I have and how you're dealing with it.
First, I'll give you a little background. I started feeling this way when I returned from Desert Storm back in '91 and '92. Although the symptoms back then were nothing compared to what I deal with daily basis now. It started out that every once a while if I had a dairy product I would have diarrhea. And that was about it. Now, it's not what I eat that's the problem it's because I eat that's the problem. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease (through a colonoscopy) but according to the doctor, I don't show signs or symptoms of Crohn's. Generally, in the morning when I wake up I feel okay. I don't eat anything in the morning for breakfast because it will upset my stomach. So I eat a very small meal at lunchtime and then a bigger meal at dinner and then snack throughout the night.
So here are my symptoms: a constant sour stomach. And I say sour because it just feels upset; not necessarily any pain, but just "off". I can't run around or jump when playing with the kids because it will upset my stomach. I can't go anywhere after I eat a meal of any size for fear that I'll have to go to the bathroom. I can't tell you the last time that my wife and I went out to dinner at a restaurant. I don't have a whole lot of pain, chest discomfort and again, sour stomach and Nausea. When I do go the bathroom, I never feel as though I am "finished". Always feel like I didn't get everything out regardless of how long I sit or how hard I push. I know that may be a little TMI, but at this point I don't have much to be afraid of.
Is there anybody with those same symptoms? If so, how do you deal with it? I know that everybody's digestive system is very individualized, but I've tried so many things that don't help I am looking for any kind of answer I can get. Here's a list of the medications that I am currently taking: bupropion, Omeprazole, Simvastatin, Dicyclomine, and budesonide. I quit smoking about three years ago after 20 years. I was really hoping that when I quit and he would actually help my stomach, but nope.
If anyone out there can give me any sort of comfort by doing something that they're doing, I would be extremely thankful.
I just joined this site hoping to gain a little insight on how many other people may be feeling the same way I do, and what they've done to alleviate some of the symptoms or uncomfortableness. Absolutely anything would help. Any kind of advice for something you do or take, anything!
Thank you any help that you can give me, and God bless.
