Upset stomach, losing weight for months

Thank you for your insights! Yes they did a full thyroid panel, cbc with differential, and metabolic. Iron is low and RDW is high. I just did a repeat blood test today to see if iron supplements worked.
Now my dr wants to do an ultrasound to look at my gallbladder.
I usually only have diarrhea first thing in the morning, but I’m still losing weight. No one has recommended anything to stop it as of yet. The weakness, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue and anxiety have been difficult to endure. I wish we could find what the problem is.

I’m just wondering if some of your symptoms could be hormonal. When I was in perimenopause, I had all kinds of things happen to me that I had never experienced. I had 72 hour migraines once a month like clockwork, and I even told my doctor that I read an article that suggested I might need estrogen, but he didn’t work with that, so he never gave me any and now I’m finding out that would’ve helped. When I’d get in bed at night my feet would turn bright red and start burning. Something you said reminded me of that. And my breasts were really sore and my doctor even sent me to an oncologist thinking I had breast cancer, but I didn’t. That went away after I went through menopause. Just an idea, Also, the naturopath should’ve done some testing before prescribing anything. They usually do all kinds of saliva, blood, or urine testing. I’m getting ready to go to a gastroenterology clinic tomorrow to see if they can figure out what the heck is wrong with my digestion. Apparently it’s not an easy thing to figure out. I’m sorry you’re going through that and I hope you can find some answers. There’s nothing worse than having digestive issues and not being able to eat properly. Also, someone commented that you’re eating a lot of protein and I know that meat is the most difficult thing to digest, and our digestive tracts were not made for that. The intestines of a carnivore are much shorter than humans. You might try laying off the meat and see what happens. I wouldn’t think the eggs would hurt unless you were allergic. Good luck and I’m sorry.
