That sounds really rough. I had some relatively minor digestive issues this year and lost 20 lbs in 1 month. I felt, for almost an entire month, as if I would get sick at any moment (yet only did twice).

It really sucked, though it's largely over and I can't imagine what someone with serious issues goes through.So good luck with getting well!

I had similar symptoms that last summer - do you know what caused it?

I was tested with no conclusive result, but it was also during a listeria outbreak which I was not tested for.

It was a rough few months.

I don't know for sure. I think it was high stress, lack of sleep, poor diet and exercise. I fixed the last three (the stress I am stuck with) and am close to normal again.
Interesting. I am still mildly worried that it could pop up again at any time and I had a relatively good diet and exercise regime when it occurred. Sleep and stress are tougher to solve.

Glad to hear you have had success getting better - stay healthy.

A tip from (bad) experience is to check for bacteria infection, if that hasn't been done already.
Thank you. :-)

But I am mostly well. Finishing up the process is basically just a matter of time. :-D

Next project: Figure out how to support myself without a day-job! ;-)
