It looks like I've successfully treated all of my symptoms without another doctor visit or test (a big step for me!). Prilosec got rid of the nausea and reflux. I tried a probiotic and that quickly brought my stools back to normal in both color and consistency - I ended up super irregular after this all started. I'm not sure if the probiotic or my new SSRI helped me get my appetite back, but I'm hungry again. And the pain in my left ribs, oddly enough, seems to be linked to trigger points in and around my left hip, so the pain is entirely or mostly muscular.
I hope you're all getting on well and that this post reassures you that these symptoms can be (and usually are) annoying but benign and treatable.
