Thank you all for your support. I went to the doctor today and they took blood and stool samples. I should have the results by next week. They didn't really seem to have any idea what it was. They threw out IBS or a stress response as a possibility. I really don't like those answers. They gave me some meds for the nausea. Hopefully they will help.

I'm really sorry - make sure that you're keeping hydrated. Gatorade is good for that when you're sick.
Have you tired Immodium?
Hope the Dr. is able to help this time.

When I went in last time they said not to use immodium because they thought it might be a virus and that would make it worse.

I had to do that a few years ago when they wanted to discount my diarrhea as 'functional' (meaning they had no idea why). When I went back they looked at it more closely and found out why. So I think they sometimes say it's nothing as a first response, then see if we come back if it doesn't resolve itself.
When I was having chronic pancreatitis (I didn't know then what it was) the first doctor I saw, when I was very dehydrated and could barely stand, said it was the flu (because the patient before me had the flu, he said). He reluctantly offered to send me to the GI doc, and I chose to do that and it was the right thing to do. I was sick.
So, keep going back. I hope you feel much better soon!  |
They said I should come back in next Wednesday to get all of the results. I will have to see what they say then.

I don't think so. I've talked to my celiac support people and they said this has gone on too long to be a gluten reaction. There is always a possibility that I have developed some other complication from it.
I just want to feel better.
