Swaz- if you have rotten dead teeth in your jaw then that could be the sources of problems. Teeth are rotten because you have a soup of infection-fungal-parasite-bacteria-spirochette. You do realize that this can go through your entire body. Ask any knee surgeon or heart-they understand that dental infection can go to the knee or heart. No doc in the world leave an untreated infection!
Go to a biological dentist-someone who wont make this worse. Regular dentis usually just see the jaw as mechanical and not part of your body-they refuse to read the last 100 years of research.
If and I said IF that is your cause then a biological dentist can fix it. Expensive sure-some pain but you life with more right now-will take some time.
Just for reference-it was the cause of my stomach problems (I had for years) and it was my cure. Idont miss the days of waking up holding my stomach-being weak-being afraid to go anyplace-weighing 148. Today I am 210-at 6'1 that looks better and most importantly I feel better. FYI-no drugs
This really could be good news-if that is your cause then there is a cure

this would be really good news.. if I had dental insurance :/ the dental clinics around here are awful. they treat on a first come first serve basis. if you jabe a tooth ache, they simoly skip every option availabke amd yank it out. case closed. thays IF you can even get in. I have walked in there with an abcess that had swelled my eye shut, and was told the soonest they could see me for this emergency was 3 weeks from then. that was a couple years ago, when I had a friend who was attending the dental school in SF, and was able to talk some higher ups into helping me out. seeing a dentist isn't so easy for me nowadays. I haven't been able to work since 2007 basically due to PTSD/anxiety/stomach issues.

never heard of a biological dentist before. is that how they are listed or referred to is literally biological dentist? I'll have to start looking into that.

1am here, I managed to fall asleep from exhaustion for a little while so that's why I disappear randomly for lengths of time. but at least its technically Monday which means hopefully I can get into the doctor today. they have me down for Thursday but that was prior to the results of the er visit. hopefully they can squeeze me in somewhere. if not, I'll go sit there all day just in case.

You'll notice differing advice on what to do, esp food. Someone told you to avoid eggs while another included it in their list. I tolerate eggs fine.

The SCD was also mentioned - for most people food is just about eating what you can tolerate although do try different diets and foods and notice what you do well with and keep those and eliminate all the junk.

Sugar and anxiety go hand in hand and while narcotics will be a temporary fix for anxiety you end up likely needing more to 'feel' the same.

If I go to bed after eating a lot of sugar at night (alcohol is sugar) then I will have low blood sugar the next morning and anxiety. Try eating meat/rice/vegetable meals with canned (no sugar added and not even sugar substitutes) peaches or pears as desert. Stop the ice cream (not just for the dairy but stop eating so much sugar.

Sucks about your teeth but my dad had all his pulled at 17 and is 79 and he's healthier now than in his 20's.

I do well with rice, chicken or turkey or salmon and steamed-to-super-soft vegetables

Enema - ha! you will be getting very familiar with things going up your rectum if you do have UC. pardon my jokes ;p butt you will also really get comfortable talking about poop. You know how it's said Eskimos have 1000 different adjectives for snow? We are the same with poop and bowel movements (bm's)

Sorry you got hit by a car at 7 and it's understandable you got addicted to opiates and now I see you're growing up and being responsible and searching for help. I see you making a great recovery and going on to help others - you'll not only start eating healthier which will start to erase that anxiety but it will give you confidence to then go out and in several pears you'll be giving advice to that unique person in here who only you can relate to.

Breathe and stop eating all the sugar and caffeine and you'll be much better

just a quick update.

things are not good at all. I am so mentally drained at this point its unbelievable.

went to doc this morn, who referred me to a gastro doc for endoscopy and what not. will hear back from them tmrw. was feeling great all day. had dinner at 7pm. 4:28am now, one of the worst anxiety episodes possibly in my life. for dinner- half a sweet potato, small amount of chicken, broccoli and cauliflower. bout an hour after that, felt like absolute crap. the lomotil had been keeping the runs at bay, but I realized I wasn't going to be able to get any stool samples for doc. stopped taking lomo Monday morning. by 8:30pm I was having horrible cramps accompanied by a huge bloated stomach. went to the bathroom, 3 or 4 times, let out quite a bit. it was again, very coffee grindish. at that point I began really having pains, which of course brought a lot of anxiety... like, a lot. when I get anxiety, I think I'm going to die. I'm sure its like that for many.

once my anxiety is in full swing like that its really hard for me to define the line between anxiety and actual pain. I told my gf we needed to go to the er STAT. I paced around, shaking like a leaf unable to speak for a solid hour before I managed to sort of calm down. now its almost 5am, yet again, and I feel just as crappy as I did a week ago. I don't know if I should go to the er or just ride this out. like, how do I know when its reasonable to go ya know? I feel like I'm going insane with the amount of stress that my mind has taken this weekend. I thought seeing the doc Monday and getting the gastro appointment would at least make me feel a little better, and it did for a little while. now I feel worse and am wondering if I should go back to the ER?

What can they even do for me there? one of the big reasons I'd go is because I'd feel safe there if something happened. I can't take anything for pain, because of the suboxone. I just want this horrible bloated feeling in my stomach to go away as well as the diarrhea. I feel horrible.

FML.

How are you doing now? Don't assume you are doing anything wrong if you sometimes get no replies. I think most people here are like myself and just don't know how to advise you; your situation is outside of the usual that we are familiar with. Speaking for myself anyway.

hey guys.

Burli- no meth. that's usually the first thing the dentists assume tho, is that its from smoking meth. not the case. I have soft teeth like my dad, with a whole bunch of unfortunate reasons for not taking better care of them. its my fault mostly, but I definitely didn't screw them up with drugs.

I doubt snorting pills of oxy and Roxi helped the teeth at all, but they were already ****ed before I started doing that.

my status report as of right Now, is that I've decided against er for today. my doc gave me a small script of ativan, which normmally is first of all, a big nono with suboxone, as both cause shallow breathing etc. plus I try to stay away from anything that has the potential to be abused or be come addicted to.

well, I've done some thinking about that. and if for some reason benzos are the answer to keeping my anxiety at bay, then so be it. I will gladly give up control to a pill that is helping me get better. otherwise, my options are limited with non narcotic meds.
plus any time I'd ever taken any kind of benzo, its just made me lethargic and kinda dumb feeling. had taken a lot of Valium during a few try to get clean attempts, and I always hate it so I wrote it off years ago. today was the first time in quite some time I took some.
to my surprise, my stomsch almost feels like its original and correct non bloated shape. I took it, and fell asleep around 3pm. I FELL ASLEEP I SAID!! got a couple quick hours of sleep, woke up, without feeling cramped, took another, (one pill total mind you- half earlier and the other half later)
I feel manageable. not nervous not anxious not panicking about anything. my doc was telling me my anxiety was playing an enormous role in my stomach right now and the first thing I needed to do was to square that away. sure enough, or at least so far. it has. I'm tired again. just woke up on the couch in the dark, I must have sort of passed out because I don't remember going to sleep. anyways. praying for a full nights sleep tonight!!!

hopefully mk10 will be finished downloading by morning :/

Get your symptoms under control then look into removing the root canals and infections-my opinion.
Please know that there are 100s of serious doc who think most chronic illness starts in the jaw-usually root canals. Most think its a bad as smoking and like smoking everyone body can handle it for some amount of time-maybe 40 years maybe 4.
Something is causing this

hey all. apologies for the long pause in my hysterics, i never have been good at the whole forum thing. but for the most part nothing has changed. anxiety has calmed a bit, stomach issues have slowed and are a little less frequent- for now. after getting the anxiety under control the situation doesn't feel as grave as before. I have an appointment with my doc thursday, (again) and have a colonoscopy scheduled for next tuesday. excited and scared to death. never had anything like this done, and had nothing more than a thermometer breach that canal before when I was little :P
I'm aware I'll be knocked out for the procedure, but can anyone she'd some light on this embarrassing subject as to what I can expect before and after? my doc appointment Thursday is to get me prepared I imagine, but I'm curious from a recipient point of view.

basically my questions are- how bad is the flushing beforehand process going to be? the only time I've known anything about this is when my dad had it done a while ago, for no other reason than being "about time" to have one, and I remember he had to dRI k a ton of stuff to flush everything out of his system. now, obviously I'm no stranger to diarrhea, and could probably literally take care of the flush process by simply not taking any imodium until then, but I wonder- is this going to be a different kind of exploding diarrhea or just as horrible and painful? I know I keep calling this a "flushing proccess" and I'm sure that's not aat all what it's called but I'm sure you know what I mean.

second- afterwards how will I feel? will it be painful? just trying to get a sense of what's to come.

side "note"- my galaxy note 4 updated recently to lolipop, and since then my typing has been terrible, with the autocorrect all but not functioning, so apologies for what I assume are a ton of typos.
