Digestive issues! Any help appreciated
Hi. Im new here so I hope im posting this correctly. In the past month or 2 I've had some, what seem to be digestive issues. A little background in me:
39yrs old
in the middle of an incredibly messy divorce
Quit my old job for a new one 2 months ago.
5 feet tall, 100 lbs
pretty healthy diet, occasional splurges
Used to be a runner pre divorce mess (6 months ago)
Occasional smoker(0-5 a day) stress smoker
currently taking multi vitamin, b complex, fish oil, iron, probiotic
drink alcohol rarely
Symptoms:
Started w insomnia-can fall asleep but can't stay asleep
no real pain just uncomfortability, gas and bloating
constipation regardless of fiber intake, helped slightly by salt or acv enemas
poops are hard and mucusy or poop is normal but food looks undigested
then developed what seemed to be heartburn that was not helped by antacids
Tried Betaine hcl w Pepsi in case it was low acid- no help
random hiccups usually in morning or just before bed
trapped gas esp on upper right side
look bloated like im 3 months pregnant- gets worse after I eat so by evening im distended
amenorrhea for 2 months, not pregnant, not on any birth control or hormones
stress levels have gotten worse through this whole thing
Currently doing acupuncture w a friend 2 times a week. Helps somewhat emotionally and sometimes digestion improves but seems to
return
I do not have insurance right now and won't until November. Im willing to save up to go to a doctor but which kind first? What does this sound like to you and is there anything I can try to help it in the meantime? Any help is appreciated!
