Long story short, I've been having some GI and other issues for a few months now that I haven't been able to get resolved. I'm a 21 year old, otherwise very healthy male. Hopefully some people here can offer some insight and advice!
Background:
- Had a stomach flu in late June
- Had some sort of sinus infection in late July that seems to have been caused by working around a lot of dust and at work putting up mirrors in high corners. (Symtoms began/Started getting stuffy, congested later in that day)
It seems that this sinus infection is when the present GI symtoms started (I think, but it's hard to tell when the stomach flu residual cleared up and this started), the sinus issues resolved in about a week and a half but the other symtoms stayed.
- Got a single stool analysis that came back negative for everything in early September
- Blood tests were done in early September and came back negative for (HIV, H. Pylori, Thyroid issues, Leukemia, Lymphoma, Diabetes) (Everything was in normal range except White Blood Cell Count was slightly low but still within range)
- After nothing obviously wrong showed up in the labs, GP dismissed symtoms as "within the normal range"
Symtoms:
Stomach upset for ~ 30-45 min after multiple (3), consecutive, loose, urgent bowel movements soon after waking every day.
--> Multiple bowel movements and stomach upset ceased ~ last week of September when I began limiting
Sugar consumption ( cut out my daily Rockstar Energy Drink)
Stomach Gurgling (Still having this)
Diarrhea & Constipation (Alternating) - (Still having this)
General Fatigue - (Still having this)
White coating on tongue (increased/aggravated by sugar) - Prescribed Nystatin (Oral Suspension)
- Seems to have cleared up
Lightheadedness/Spaciness/Intoxication- Within short time of
Sugar consumption (Went ZERO
Sugar last week of October so I haven't had this lately)
Passed an almost plant-like mucousy thing in my stool the first week of November.
Mucus in stool (Had during two days recently I was taking acidophilus)
So, candida? parasite? What's the deal?
