Hi everyone,
I'm new here and really scared. My gi doctor had diagnosed me with ibs after not being able to find a solution to my massive stomach cramps and random diahrrea. I had been on a strict Paleo diet which seemed to help a lot of my symptoms but I knew my gut is compromised and was very careful about
what I ate. Very slowly it started to get better with fewer problems as long as I stayed away from gluten, soy, most grains, cow dairy, eggs and fruits from the rosea family which I am allergic to. I became pregnant and had major food aversions and all I wanted to eat was eggs and dairy. I threw up for almost 3 months. My body can now tolerate a little bit of eggs and occasional dairy without ibs symptoms.
It was at this point I got the flu. This turned into a sinus infection that was so bad I had to go to the emergency room because for weeks I was waking up with headaches that were unbearable and finally I couldn't take it anymore. I was trying during this time to use a nasal flush, and various nasal sprays to avoid taking antibiotics. Of course at the hospital they gave me an antibiotic and the only thing that would quell the headache was morphine. I continued the antibiotics for two days. During this time I started having stomach pains again. Then I was at work and I noticed I was really itchy, I look down and there is a huge rash on the side of my belly. The ob doctor told me to stop the antibiotic. By this point in time I was having explosive diahrrea after everything I ate. The only thing I could stomach was plain white rice which is not normally on my diet for feeling well. I called the gi doctor and they took some blood and a stool sample but I am really worried about
my baby. Everything I eat is getting flushed out of my system within half an hour. I was told by the ob that I needed to gain more weight and before this I was eating like a horse. Now I'm scared to eat and not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
