I am 16. Back in January I was overweight. I weighed 154 lbs and I am 5'5.
At around the end of January I started getting Diarrhea from time to time. After a few months, I started getting Diarrhea more and more often so I told my mom. She said it's because I eat alot of fiber which causes diarrhea.
Since the end of May, It has been really bad. I would eat food and i'd immediately have to go move my bowels. I eat ALOT and never feel satisfied, and always feel weak as if i haven't eaten all day even though I DO, as I said, eat ALOT.
In the past few months, I have gotten down to 101 lbs without even trying.
I'm worried that something may be wrong with me. I know that I am clinically underweight and I don't know why I keep losing weight. I am sick of my stomach hurting, I am sick of having diarrhea, I am sick of feeling weak/sick, I am sick of being hungry all the time, I am sick of losing weight.
I told my mother & she scheduled a doctor appointment but it's not until November 2nd. Help?

Sounds a lot like what I have had most of my life (Ulcerative Colitis). It could also be Crohn's Disease. You should see a GI Dr. (Gastrointestinol Dr.) ASAP. You are probably very defecient in a lot of vitamins and nutrients which is why you feel so weak. Diarrhea also causes dehydration so make sure you get plenty of water or even something like Pedialite but not too much or all the liquids will cause even more diarrhea. I know exactly how you feel!!!! I hope you get the help you need soon!!!! Good Luck!!!!

The answers on this site are not going to help you.
Your Mom has done what you need, made a Doctors appointment. Eat lighter until then. Or ask her to try to get it pushed up. It seems to me you are reaching the emergency stage.
Are you on any medications?? Last year I was on a prescription that caused vomiting and diarrhea every day. It stopped when I went off.
If your weight keeps Dropping in the next week or two she needs to get you there earlier and get tests run, that will be the only thing that is going to give you and your mom and the Dr. a clear cut diagnosis. Because it certainly sounds like something is wrong. Good Luck.

Did your mom tell the doctors office this is an urgent visit. Tell her you can't wait until November.....If she insist they will get you in sooner....if not go to the emergency room.....This sounds serious. You could end up in the hospital if something isn't done soon. Keep drinking lots of liquids, since you are losing them. Take care and let me know how things work out...You can e-mail me thru this answer....just keep it on your computer. Rea

tapeworm. Seek a doctor immediately, you can die from it. The tapeworm eats all the nutrients that pass through your system so you always feel hungry and run down because the nutrients aren't making it into your bloodstream.

Irritable bowel syndome, cholecystitis. You need to go see a gastro doctor thought to check you out and see what is really going wrong
