Things are pretty screwed up at this point. I don't know what to think anymore. IBS frankly doesn't fit better than anything else. None of the tests seem to come back like they're supposed to. I'm as white as it gets without being albino, I can sun bathe all day, take a multi-vitamin, drink 5 cups of milk a day, and yet I still have a vitamin D deficiency. It just shouldn't be there.
I don't take NSAIDs, I've only had 3 alcoholic drinks in my life, I don't get heartburn, I don't eat anything highly acidic or generally corosive, I don't have H. Pylori and so on, yet I have stomach and duodenal inflammation and erosions. Again, there's nothing there to cause it but it's there.
I'm not obese, I'm not diabetic, my cholesterol levels are extremely good, again I don't drink at all, I'm young and so on, almost all of my blood work as been completely normal, yet I have fatty liver. There's no reason for me to have anything wrong with my liver.
Strangely enough, both the upper GI and liver are visibly inflammed and yet I come back with a normal CRP and that inflammation visible via scope in my upper GI doesn't appear on the CT.
The only cause left that would explain what is being seen is autoimmune and yet when they look for autoimmune it isn't seen. It's frustrating beyond belief. It's all pretty obvious for my GI though. I'm sure he's concluded that I'm just a drug seeking alcoholic. Besides, that makes it all very easy and easy is the physician's mantra.
Meanwhile I get to sit here for the next two months and suffer waiting for my next appointment (not that it'll result in me getting any better).
