Just diagnosed
Hi all I’m 21f. I’ve been dealing with nonstop gastro issues since November 25’ now and I’m so exhausted and looking for recommendations. I’ve read through a LOT in this subreddit but have some questions I haven’t seen answered yet. Originally had a gallbladder attack in nov. had some small stones/small polyp but surgeons and docs weren’t concerned (no surgery), then I had peptic ulcers but no hpylori
, just got out of the ER and ulcers are gone thankfully but now I have been diagnosed with GP. I’m currently waiting to call my pcp and get the testing done. I’ve lost 15lbs in 3 weeks and I’m so dehydrated. But I CANT DRINK WATER! I get so nauseous but I’m trying to take baby sips every few minutes. How do we get through this? I believe the medications I was on for my ulcers have caused my stomach to stop functioning properly, I’ve never had issues like this before. This is all over the place sorry but It’s brought on horrible depression and health anxiety. My pee has been slightly orange since being back home the last day or so but I lived off of orange jello in the hospital. I’m trying not to panic over every tiny thing. I know everyone’s triggers/safe foods are different and I bought a journal to start keeping track, is there some universal snacks that work well? I can’t do meals anymore. I’m currently drinking a max protein ensure and it seems to be okay. I was taking Reglan for the symptoms, it was the only thing that helped, but the reaction I had to it almost put me in a psych ward😭 taking zofran now but it’s just not as effective. any words of encouragement or advice I’d love 🥲
