Soo here it goes:
I'm not sure what my diagnosis is other than DESPERATE!!! That I can tell you for sure. I came across this ugly demon 4 yr.s ago after being on a double dose of antibiotics for a month. Same as a lot of you, I thought I just had a bout of the flu with my immune system being so run downed from the pneumonia, sinus infection etc... So I went back to my family Dr. to have them put me through a ton of tests,blood, stool, upper & lower GI, colonoscopy, ct scans, MRI's etc... you know the works. Lot's of med's that made my condition worse. So I took myself off the meds & went to a natural, homeopathic, Dr. who put me on oils & probiotics then told me to get my fillings in my mouth (all 2 of them) changed from silver to white. Needless to say being in my desperate state I begged my dentist to do so. All while waiting to see a specialist. 9 months into this: an alien living in my stomach, 20 - 30 trips to the washroom throughout the day & night. Cramps & unbelievable pain, mucus & blood, not to mention just plain exhaustion. My specialist office called to reschedule my appointment telling me the dr. would be away. I cried on the phone pleeding with them not to reschedule my appt. obviously I did not win that battle & they rescheduled it for 3 months down the road. With nothing short of a miracle my problem disappeared at the 10 month mark leading me to never make it to my appt. I was never so HAPPY.
So you say to yourself why are you here then posting on this site??? My UGLY DEMON has reared it's head again 4 yr.s later. I was in a horrible accident with my horse on October 17th & had to be put on a quite a cocktail of drugs one of them being heavy duty antibiotics & within 2 weeks I was right back where I had left off. I've tried probiotics which I thought saved the day last time, gluten free, dairy free, etc... I've read so much info that I don't know what to eat? I've since read about natural healing for this (WHATEVER THIS IS) IBS, colitis. It calls for a vegan diet??? If someone has any suggestions, advice, kind words or otherwise I would Greatly appreciate it. Like the rest of you I too had a busy life but, a good busy on a farm with 2 amazing chittlins & a wonderful hubby that supports me 100% a Great business & lot's of friends that keep me social. However, I can't stop crying a lil everyday wanting my life back & this to go away. It's soo hard to stay positive & I try to keep things normal as far as the cooking & baking goes. I'm huge into cooking & baking so that's another avenue of this that's killing my spirit. Soo sorry, for the novel... Not that you know a lil bit about me hopefully I can keep my post to short stories from now on. Thanks, again for listening & any advice you may have. From diet to how you keep from curling up in a ball & crying! would be Greatly appreciated
