Hey everyone hoping someone out there can help me out or at least talk to me. I’ve had ongoing stomach issues. I’ve been diagnosed with IBS but now I know that’s code for they don’t know what the hell is going on. I’ve had the following tests:
Colonoscopy
CT Scan
Endoscopy
Ultrasound
Hida Scan (Monday)
I’ve learned to manage the pain more or less. What’s concerning me now is when I had my most recent flare up one year ago I weighed 183 pounds. Last Month at the doctor I was down to 173. Today at the doctor I was 167. I know I have health anxiety so of course I googled it and there was Cancer. I talked to the doctor today which was at Stanford Medical and she said more than likely I’ve trained my self to eat less because there is less pain and I’m just not getting enough calories. I’m a fairly active guy and coach. But the weight loss scares me. Has anyone experienced this? I plan on writing down what I eat and I have an app to count calories. I plan on recording I’m just interested to see if anyone else suffers weight loss. Thank you for your time.
