Ive been going to a GI doctor and Ive had a barium test, an endoscopy, and numerous blood tests. Everything cam back normal. According to the blood tests, I have no inflammation in my body, no food alergies, and kidneys and liver are working fine... Everything is normal. But I know that something is wrong with my digestive system.
These are my symptoms
-my bowel movements are normal except for the fact that they have little to no smell. You could go in the bathroom after Im done and you wouldn't know I was in there.
-my gas is almost 100% odorless.
-I don't have stomach pain but If I press on my lower abdomen its tender
-I get minor indigestion after eating... it feels like the food just chills in my stomach/intestine area for longer than it should and I have those large “I just finished a big meal” type burps for hours after eating.
-I don't have much of a decreased appetite but I never get that really hungry growling stomach feeling like I used to.
-It doesn’t matter if it’s a mood stabilizer, a beta blocker, or an antidepressant, when I take medication I feel absolutely nothing, as if I didn't even take it. Its like my stomach can't absorb the pills and turn them into something my body can use. I took a beta blocker and it had no effect on my anxiety attacks. I took antidepressants a few months back and every time I took them they would make me manic. Now when I take them nothing happens. I’ve tried five different mood stabilizers and they do nothing to improve my mood. This is a huge problem because I’m bipolar and I need to be on medication.
Ive changed my diet and it didn’t improve things. Digestive aids did nothing. Probiotics did nothing. The only thing that improved my condition was prednisone. I had some left over from an old prescription and just 2 days on them and my stomach symptoms improved dramatically and when I took lithium (mood stabilizer) I actually felt it working. What condition could I possibly have which prednisone would be the medication for? Doctors wont just prescribe prednisone.
please help me
