6k later I found out that I had too much poop backed up & an ulcer. I take Omeprazole when I have a flair up. I've had flair ups off & on since then. I have some bland foods for a couple days, take more Omeprazole & feel better in a couple of days.
Over the last couple of months it has been getting worse. This was why I went on a 10 day juice fast. I felt great then had my blister issues and then I got really sick. I think it was the Antonio. I couldn't drink water or eat much. A new juice fast made it worse.
I started feelings little better after starting probiotics. This weekend I got really sick again. Couldn't really eat much more than ramen noodles. When I did eat other foods I began feeling crappy pretty quickly.
I don't currently have a pcp because mine retired& I am having a hard time finding a doctor who knows much about dealing with patients who have had bariatric surgery. I called my surgeon for a referral to a gastroenterologist. She decided she wants to do some tests to make sure it isn't surgery related. Blood work & an endoscopy... Fun times.
Me being Princess worse case scenarios never a good thing... Especially when I want to look up what to expect with an endoscopy. I came across a blog of a woman who had gastric bypass surgery and had a ulcer that ate a hole in her intestines, requiring emergency surgery.
Then I wonder if I have celiac Disease... A lot of the symptoms fit... I could have IBS... I could just suck at life.
Hopefully I will have some answers soon.
I have even more respect for my friends who live with chronic pain every day.
