Hello everyone,
I have gone through food-poisoning for three times and even before that I had symptoms of IBS although not as severe as they are now. First of all I am a slow eater and most of the people around me are annoyed by it and do not believe that I am not able to eat faster. Due to these habits of mine I was also a bit underweight compared to other males of the same age even while developing. Now I have closed the gap somewhat, but I still struggle with occasional extreme bloating, flatulence, pain in the abdomen and nausea. I have taken several SSRIs to alleviate these symptoms as they were of psychological nature as evidence by the lack of positive tests for common stomach/bowel diseases. Okay enough with the background now I will tell you the last two years of my life.
Approximately 1.5 years ago I was diagnosed with severe GERD(Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) together with antral gastritis after an endoscopy. I was literally not able to eat anything back then and it was really disastrous. I used medicines for GERD and gastritis which alleviated the symptoms and the disease was cured. I then got a girlfriend and when things were going really good between us(at least in my opinion :lol all the digestion symptoms disappeared and I was able to eat a lot and quickly. When she dumped me for 3 months I was a real mess in this regard. Even my butt was sweating while eating for some time and I especially have these issues while eating out.
Does anyone experience similar symptoms? How do you cope with them if this is the case? Loneliness, lack of a partner, and a stressful life together with an ambiguous future do not help either. I am doing lots of sports; sailing, gym, boxing etc. and live an active life. Most of the time I am really tired and I run out of energy during exercising which hints malnutrition due to my problems. You are probably going to suggest seeing an gastroenterologist and I already have many times; I also had many blood tests performed which indicated nothing was wrong.
