Possible digestive system problem? *Repost*?I think I might have a digestive system problem, but it could be something else. I really have no idea. My weight fluctuates between 130 and 140 constantly. I have gas a lot (and sometimes when I burp I throw up a little). It's normal for me to not poop for a week and then I might get diarrhea. I also think I have a slow metabolism. I can eat one small meal in a day, say 1000 calories including everything, and gain 5 pounds. I sporadically get severe chest pain and pressure. I have muscle spasms/twitches sometimes. I have trouble sleeping and getting to sleep. I sometimes get nauseated.
I went to a doctor not too long ago who thought it was sinuses and acid reflux, and he gave me an antibiotic and nexium, neither of which helped.
Last time I posted this, I got 2 interesting answers.
1.I agree with the anxiety disorder opinion ... When we sometimes feel our lives are out of control we can "take control" with symptoms, etc. and can also gain attention from others through this.
Are you able to seek counselling and tell them the same as you have stated here. They will be able to help you pinpoint the roots of this & how to help relieve yourself of the controlling anxiety you experience.
Best of luck, you can do it:)
AND
2.had the same thing and had it for a year before I had terrible chest pain,I thought I was having a heart attack,turns out my gallbladder needed to be removed..there was gravel and sludge in it..a simple ultrasound will tell you if that is it.I had all the symptoms you had..and I also (not to sound gross) had a hard time going #2..and sometimes when I did,it was a bright light brown color.The doctor told me that is because of my gallbladder needing to be removed.The surgery was like 40 minutes and I was home that same day and up and back to work in 1 week..and I feel so much better..have them do an ultrasound for that!
I was wondering if anyone else had another suggestion, or do you agree/disagree with either of these other opinions?

anxiety would add to your problem but not cause it. as for gall bladder issues, very possible, there is also the possibility of irritable bowel syndrome and crohn's disease. I would suggest you see a gastroenterologist.
