Re: Involuntary Weight Loss-Josh

[Guest guest]

correct. Honestly Josh, you should be in a world of hurt. I have a hight

tollerance to pain and even I was was hurting, so pain is a huge indicator. Best

of luck to you. Where are you having your ercp done at? Make sure you get a doc

who is the guru in that-Kathleen

Well, no, in fact I've had no pain at all. I'm not 100 percent sure

the weight loss is in any way related to the pancreas, so I'm am

fielding possibilities--liver disease, pancreatic disease,

depression, etc. I've had no symptoms except the unintended weight

loss, and, as I said before, all my lab tests, ultrasound, CT scans,

etc, show up A-OK. Here is where I'd like feedback: If the problem

was my pancreas, would I definitely absolutely be having abdominal

pain?

Yes

Josh,

Have you checked out celiac disease? It might be worth reading and learning

about. It can cause unexplained weight loss without pain in some patients.

Thanks. I've done an identity switch, from 'trivation' to 'hopsocker,'

but same guy, involuntary weight loss. Yes, celiac disease was on

the 'possibles' list, but weeks ago I had an upper endoscopy done,

checking out stomach and small intestine, everything fine in that area,

fortunately. Just as a double-check, I also went for an entire month

with no gluten foods (wheat, barley, etc), which are the main problem

in celiac disease. Being gluten-free didn't change anything, so celiac

disease has been ruled out. But I appreciate the input.
