Re: Stomach pain

[Guest guest]

Talked to GP on the phone and he said it cant be the antibiotics. I am also drinking milk with probiotics in it, and take 1 tablet of probiotic daily since yesterday (started with 1/4 tablet, for 3 days, then 1/2 tab, then 1 tab daily) - He told me it could be my iron-intake. I said I take 6x25 mg iron daily. He said... Take 3! To see if it helps. Can this be something?Why do I have the feeling it can be something ENTIRELY else? And is it  necessary to do an endoscopy? I've had loose bowels/pale/smelly things since 2007 now! Could it be a parasite, an amobae, cancer, or chrohns?

 

Last night, after taking my second antibiotic tablet for the day, I got such a huge stomach pain. I couldn't fall asleep til 04:30 am. I was lying there turning and twisting and got a faster pulse going. The pain is still there today. Could this be antibiotics being too strong for me (I had no side-effects the first 5 days in them, I'm gonna take it for 10 days!) - Or is it the iron I am taking? 150 mg daily split in two doses.The worst feeling I have is maybe mentally - I feel I can't go to the GP, I feel the ER don't wanna help me. I feel alone and helpless with my condition(s) !I still have my "lagging" vision..

, I definitely know that antibiotics can give you stomach pains. I throw up if I try taking them on an empty stomach. I also know how you feel with the mental part. I used to be productive and happy....3 months ago. Now it is all I can do to fix dinner for my husband. BUT......remember there is light at the end of this tunnel. And even tho you're a guy, it's OK to cry! Heck, I do it every day. This is an emotional and frustrating illness. Make sure you are taking probiotics, because antibiotics really can mess with your intestinals.

We're with you! I know that sounds like a cliche', but most of us REALLY ARE! Too bad we don't all live close so we can suffer some days together, huh? But we do it on here!

, Do you think it might be candida? Most of us with compromised immune systems easily get an overgrowth. I can't believe dr. told you it couldn't be the antibiotic. From experience, it can be, and has been for me!

That sounds so sweet - I'd love to suffer with ya'll for some days every now and then! :-)I just started probiotics (which includes "inulin" which is not good for me, I suppose!) like a 10-12 days ago. I think it worked the first week.. But now my bowels are back in their old habits! Sadly. Maybe I take too much probiotics? Is that possible?I guess there's a light in the end of the tunnel, but it's soooo far away! Can't reach it! All I can do is make dinners for myself. My wife gave up on me in the very beginning of my worsening of everything like 2 1/2 years ago. Actually. We were only happily married for a couple of days, then it all started. Some docs joke about how it was the MARRIAGE itself, the wedding, that started it all off... I doubt that's fully true, but there could be something to it. We're an extremely

bad match. Doubt we'll be together much longer..... She can't accept the fact that I am sick! And I get furious/depressed from learning that she won't accept my disease! Like it's MY fault huh...I also worry that it's rT3 (to stay on topic for the group) causing EVERYTHING that's wrong with me. Even if my blood level isn't very bad atm, my cells could be blokcked. Then again, I should be even more Hypo than I am if this is true. I don't know. It's all so overwhelming. I just had my heart "stop" for 2 seconds then start again. It wasn't like a skipped heartbeat, more like a painful "stop". :\ I immediately thought "rT3!!!" - Maybe there is something to this?I only tried T3-only for like 3 1/2 months. Got up to 65 mcg daily when I started switching to ERFA Thyroid which I am on now - at 2 grains daily + 5 mcg T3 before bedtime.

What would the symptoms be? I know I had some candida in my stool-sample from like 2 years ago which we shipped to the US. (I live in Norway) Hmmmm... I feel that my GP could run many more tests be he's like.. Not interested. I have to pay to go to a private clinic (healthcare is mostly free of charge in Norway, GP, hospitals, meds. etc.) and pay $100's of dollars to get the things _I_ want to check, checked! :pAny advice on which tests to run? My private clinic in Norway has connection with Genova Diagnostics in the US!
