Hello all,
Long time lurker of the RP forums, but asking for help now due to the fact that I've been facing some recent GI problems.
I noticed all these symptoms came on very suddenly 4 weeks ago when I went out to a Chinese restaurant with some family members. Within a couple hours of eating, all these symptoms have come on and ultimately, failed to resolve. Over the past 2 weeks, I have noticed the symptoms aren't as bad, however I still have them, and they are particularly worse at night. In particular, I have to take several benadryl and tums to even fall asleep, since lying down exacerbates my stomach issues. Wondering if any Peaters would know what the cause is?
Symptoms:
General loss of appetite
Silent reflux ("globus" feeling in throat)
Have noticed my stools are "smaller" in diameter, but formed, 3x BM/day
Stomach bloating, "heaviness", cramps, (worse when lying down)
Diet:
Coconut oil
Coffee
Raw carrots
Ground beef 93/7 lean
Bone broth
Mashed potatoes
Ultra-pasteurized milk
Cottage Cheese
Vanilla Haagen Daaz
Supplements:
Magnesium
Vitamin D
Zinc w/copper
Vitamin K-2
Aspirin
DHEA
Most recent Labs/Testing:
H. pylori breath test - Negative
Celiac - Negative
TSH - 1.3 uIU/mL
WBC - 5.2
Potassium - 4.2 mmol/L
Sodium - 141 mmol/L
