I now have a positive for infection in my colon or somewhere in my gastric system!

[Guest guest]

Regarding my stomach and stool problems since 2007:

I am sending

this email to three groups, cause I am on HC and it can cause issues

with my stomach, and some of you might know what's going on with me even

if my GP doesn't, after 3 1/2 years with stomach and stool issues.

* I AM EATING GLUTEN FREE (Since summer of 2008)

* That did not improve anything with my stomach and stools

I have been plagued by pale, soft, smelly and undigested stools since 2007 after

a visit to Russia

(Actually, I was there three times total in that period), and I did

have a flu while being there are well. Now, no fecal-tests has showed

any signs of infection since my symptoms started, TIL NOW. I just got a

fecal-test that was positive, and the value I got was 271. The rangee is

<50 mg/kg. If the value is above 150, the lab says it's a positive

test,

infmallatory/infection, and I can have Crohns or something else.

I

told my GP I had these symptoms since 2007. I didn't start HC, and

vitamin and mineral-supplements til the summer of 2009. So, this has

nothing to do with TAKING HC. But, my GP told me that if I got this

condition in 2007, I could've kept it going (the infection) by taking HC

and vitamins and mineral-supplements from 2009 and up.

Now, looking back, I have my suspicions that this started while I was in Russia.

In Moscow.

Russia is a third world country, and after being there three times, all

I can say is.. It was DIRTY over there.. Nobody knew how to wash their

hands, how to treat food, I mean, their hygiene was terrible. They even

washed their kitchen sink, and get this, with the same sponge as they

used IN their toilets, straight after washing their toilets. HELLO!?!?!?

And this was a nice middle class family. *shakes head*

Could I

possibly have gotten some kind

of... Parasite, while over there? I did eat a lot of WEIRD food. And

the flu I got while being there almost killed me. I was in the hospital

over there for 1 week. Anyway. SOMETHING happened while I was in Russia

in the fall of 2007. And that something is still inside my stomach!

Question: Can an infection in the colon be caused by a parasite?

I recently did this stool test thru Genova Diagnostics:

http://burns.idium.net/bmlab.no/filestore/Laboratorie_tester/CDSA_1Pager.pdf

- But haven't received the results yet. The results will arrive in 1 week from

today.

This test could (?) prove something!

To me, it seems like my GP is helpless when it comes to me and my symptoms. I

am, per definition, healthy all over. No Adrenal Fatigue, No Hypothyroidism,

not even Secondary Hypopituitarism - All these things were diagnosed by

Dr. Thierry Hertoghe in Brussels, Belgium in March of 2010. I have lost

more than 30 lbs since seeing him that

first time. And I feel better all over, I really do.

However,

the thing with my STOMACH has been with me since 2007, since BEFORE all

my issues started with adrenals etc. GP told me: " The next sted is to do

a colonoschopy! Do it! You'll be fine even if you're on HC! " So I will

do that ASAP. MAYBE it shows something.

The only problem now, other than not knowing what's wrong with me, is... How do

I know what to eat? I mainly eat Borscht soup

now; Beets, carrots, onion, garlic, celery. steak, tomato pure, salt

and pepper plus water, boiled together for 5-6 hours. I love this soup.

It just takes a long time to prepare it! My stools HAVE improved while

being on this soup. I just hope it'll give me all I need to live! I also

eat some cheese, and some plain regular-fat yoghurt with no sugars

(real or artificial) added.

Maybe I have Crohns? Shouldn't GP do more tests to diagnose that if this is the

case? I had HORRIBLE stomach pain

2 weeks

ago. I almost thought I was gonna die. I am still in anger after the ER

didn't do ANY tests except a simple CRP in my finger, to see what was

wrong withme. I could technically have died from sepsis (blood poisoning) if I

have Crohns.

Any words of advice guys and girls?

Thank you for reading my words of suffering!
