All these symptoms and no diagnosis...help, can u give me ideas?

Question

I have had loose stools for almost a year, on an average 7 to 15 a day....I feel tired most of the time, I do have times when I feel energetic, but then all of the sudden I crash..My body aches like the flu, sometimes i run a low fever around 99.....I get a very upset stomach at times, and throw up once or twice a week for no reason....had a rash that covered whole body and was told it was like heat rash......after about 6 weeks it went away, now it is coming back.......it was gone for 3 months.....my feet hurt real bad when i have to walk on them, i have a pain in my left hip that goes into my leg......I have gained alot of weight over 20lbs in the last year....
I am not pregnant, have had blood work, testedd for lupus, lymes....thought it was CFS at first, but all the loose stools....not IBS totally........any ideas? I just took in some stool samples and did more blood work.......my iron is good.......

thanks......I am a 36 year old female, I do not drink or do drugs...

Answer 1

Celiac disease? A/k/a gluten intolerence.

Advice: if it's in any way possible, ask for a blood test BEFORE you go off gluten. Once you go off, the blood test won't be positive unless you go back on for a longish period of time, and it will likely make you too sick to do that.

Google celiac disease. Many of your symptoms sound like it. It has a lot of weird symptoms and isn't the same for everyone. If it sounds possible, make an appt w/ your doctor right away.

Answer 2

It sounds like IBS as well as getting dehydrated with your loose stools. Make sure you drink A LOT of water, and eat smaller meals. Make sure your meals are portioned right, and that they are nutrious. Also, stay away from caffeinated drinks, they just dehydrate you more. Go to webmd.com symptom checker, and see if it can help as well.

Answer 3

glandular fever!! it worth looking into..wish u well xx
