My story is a long one and it isnt over
yet. First 5 years ago I started getting
bad indegestion. Took strong antacids for
a while, but kept eating normal food *by
normal I mean take away food a bit, but
not alot* I have a thin to average biuld.
Then I started getting diarrhoea. That
was coming and going, when I started
getting tiredness, rashes and general
malnutrition, and went back to the doctor
agian. He put me onto even stronger
antacids and I started eating healthy.
Then I thought I had celiacs disease, as
wheat based products seemed to make me
ill, so I cut out all bread and cereal.
The change in my health was amazing, but
then slowly the problems came back. Then
I thought I had hole in the gut syndrome,
so started cutting out sugar and carbos.
This also helped heaps, but the problems
soon came back.
So I decided to go to the specialist and
really get sorted out. I had so many
blood tests and wasted a huge amount of
money, only to get issued a diet which was
meant to fix me up, which I was basically
already on plus and minus just a few
things. Bananas are bad? Who'd of
thought?
Anyway, he also gave me many suppliments
which didnt do anything, and also put me
on creon and encouraged me to stop taking
antacids.
After battling on anther year, the whole
time this disease really taking hold of my
whole life, ageing me fast, preventing me
from taking part in a normal relationship
with a partner, and outcasting me
somewhat. About this time I realised
stress was really taking its toll. On
several camping trips to relaxing
destinations, away from work, I really
noticed how great I would feel and I could
eat normal food again.
I then decided the drugs and suppliments
just wernt worth the trouble and dropped
the lot and went natural. Eating only
fresh foods, no tinned products, no take
away, just friut and veges and meat. The
only difference is sometimes I have cereal
and just a bit of milk.
This helped alot, but now, the problem is
coming back again. This time I get all
sorts of wierd pains, however, I look and
feel healthier.
This is a bit of a summary of this, im
sure I could bore you for hours but I wont
here, in fact id be amazed if your still
reading this now.
So whats wrong with me? What do I do to
lead a normal life agian?
Every day I wonder what I can eat that
wont make me feel sick. Sometimes I think
id be better eating nothing.
I have eggs and ham for breakfast, salad
for lunch, or rice bread, and steak/fish
and veges for dinner, with small amounts
of biscuits for snacks.
I never eat white bread, this gives me
incredible abdominal pain.
Cheers

I have had simular symptoms, and it turned
out to be colitis. If I were you I would
have a endoscopy done to rule out any
major stuff.
