Hello everyone. I am here trying to get some help regarding my bowel symptoms and whether they are celiac disease or even if they are something else any help would be good.
I am a 22 year old male ive had odd bowel problems for as long as i can remember but they have gotten worse in the last few months. Basically the symptoms i experience include: * Burping a lot * Abdominal distension/fullness/pressure/swelling at times * lower centre abdominal aching * stomach pain sometimes/burning upper right quadrant * Dry mouth/throat * Tongue feeling like sandpaper/rough * Constipation somedays for 4 days or more bowels not moving * Gas occassionally foul smelling like rotten eggs * weakness general * muscle weakness * paresthesia over arms/legs/spine and electric shock sensations (diagnosed with a motor-sensory peripheral neuropathy) * Often feeling cold or even freezing cold * numbness & tingling in hands and feet * feel better if i don't eat * lots of eye floaters and vision problems * mental problems and concentration difficulties * muscle spasms and twitching generalized I guess most of the symptoms get worse if i eat any carbohydrate foods and seem less intense when i stick to a protein based and vegetable/fruit based diet. From reading on the internet a lot of the symptoms sound like malabsorbtion syndrome and less likely to be celiac disease i don't know all i know is i don't feel well and cannot do the things i want to do but i feel a lack of strength most of the time. Any help would be great, I am Marko by the way im originally of Serbian descent The only thing significant that has come up on my regular blood test is a lowered white cell count and neutrophil count which are likely due to the digestive problems lowering my immune system. I feel like wherever i go everything is effecting me from the outside in. I have recently done an abdominal ultrasound which showed i had ascites an abnormal accumulation of fluid within the abdomen. |
