-17 year old female, misdiagnosed with celiac disease, sick for over a yr.
-has a sliding hiatus hernia and barrett esophagus
-family history of multiple sclerosis, chron's disease(being tested for), high blood pressure, cancer.
-symptoms are as follows, in order of appearance:
abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and regurgitation, no appetite, weight loss(currently at 100 lbs), globus sensation, occasional blood in stool(bright red), pale and fatty stool or hard dark stool, difficulty passing gas, bloatiness, no energy/fatigue, anemia(always cold), dizzy spells(when standing: shortness of breath and difficulty seeing, lasts 5-10 seconds), occasional blood in vomit(bright red or black), back pain/tenderness(always with abdominal pain), no energy/fatigue, heartburn, chest pain/tightness; hard to breathe, irritability, pain/discomfort during intercourse, occasional darker and cloudy urine, late/missed periods that only last 3-4 days and are unusually light.
-abdominal pain is nearly constant, but 'flares down' randomly. Worsened by stress.

If anyone has similar symptoms, or knows anything helpful, please let me know. This sickness has forced me to temporarily drop out of school and go on sick leave from work. I am in nearly constant pain, and the doctors are taking forever Embarassed Mad ... Thanks.

Hi, I hope you are doing well. You really should see a doctor. It's best to consult a professional (and get second opinions!) it's the best way to set your mind at ease by truly knowing.
