Eek that's a lot of weight to drop quickly. Hope you're on the mend.

I've been feeling a bit better the last day or so, and seems to be stable for now. :knock on wood: I made a tuna casserole (one of my comfort foods), and had some of that for supper before I went to Geology class. Other than a few stomach spasms, so far so good.

Might be the probiotics that I've been taking. Who knows.

My daughter has finally realized that she's developed a sensitivity to gluten and dairy - and removing those things from her diet utterly has begun to reverse quite a few physical & emotional problems that have sprung up in the past couple of years. It will be interesting to see if you're having similar issues...

I've been wondering about that myself, though I have to say that I've been taking some probiotics the past few days, and that seems to have helped.

We'll see how the next week or so goes... but I don't see the doctor for a couple of weeks now.

Hey, if you'd stopped at the lab first you'd be down even more weight! :-)

Yep, so it would seem. Makes me wonder how much blood weighs! :)

H Pylori is a good contender for your condition. Sounds like a lot of the same symptoms. My friend was just diagnosed with it after a year of testing and losing weight. Poor guy couldn't keep anything in. Now that they've figured it out, he's put a good 20lbs back on.
Hope you get it sorted soon. :)

To be honest, I suspect it's not, as I had been gaining weight somewhat. It was only the last week or so that I've lost weight, and that may have been due to eating nothing but boiled eggs, toast, and jello.

Won't hear back until I go to the doctor's again the first week of March, unless he calls me with some bad news.

In the meantime, feeling somewhat better. :knock on wood:
