Whats making me sick? Digestive system related please help my g.i doesnt even know?Ive done many tests and have a g.i but he isnt sure what's wrong with me, he believes its atleast 2 things. Im 16 and this has been going on for awhile, maybe since I was 12. Ive always been thin and weigh 103 atm. Im a lactose intolerant vegetarian. My symptoms:
Until I became a vegetarian I would have diarhea about once a month, which was horrible and left me stuck in the bathroom for 10 minutes to about an hour, drinking water like a mad man feeling like death.
This lessened after I stopped eating meat to about once every 2-3 months. Currently hasnt happened for 2 months.
For about 2 years Ive been spitting up acid and even pieces of food (sort of like up-chucking) it happens with certain foods more often than others such as popcorn.
Around that time I also started having trouble using the restroom.
My G.I thought I might have celiac sprue, now believes I dont. I stopped eating wheat for about 2-3 months and I hadnt gotten sick as I used to that much and spit up slightly less acid and using the bathroom became a lot easier. I also find certain foods like cookies give me gas and I figure that its because theyre made out of wheat because gluten free ones do not. Starting maybe 4-5 months ago I get reoccuring pain on the left side of my lower ribcage, which sometimes hurts a lot.
I have a mild eating disorder, and started throwing up about 2 years ago. I have stopped and feel strongly that its not related to the stomach pain etc. that started before that, but maybe the acid reflux. Very rarely I find small amounts of blood in my stool, which is red/new blood I guess. Anything would help a lot. Thankyou

First of all I'd say you need another specialist for a second opinion. The pain in your lower left side could be diverticulitis and it's irritated by any thing with seeds or hulls in it. You may also have this coupled with irritable bowel syndrome which can account for your diarrhea. Red blood in your stool: perhaps hemorrhoids. I do believe your symptoms are all related to your diet, which you need to improve. You need some protein, honey or you're gonna dry up and blow away. Legumes and a carbohydrate like rice will make a complete protein. Peanut butter is an excellent source and you can take lactate products so you can consume dairy. I enjoy soy milk (protein) because I have the same problem. Try some yogurt to soothe your intestines and please get another doctor specializing in GI problems. Copy this question and take it with you. I think all of your problems will be resolved because you seem determined to find out the problem. Godloveya, honey.
