Will I remain a mystery? Painful stomach, puking, weight loss

I have lost around 22 lbs in several months without doing anything. I weighed 208 back in may of last year and now weigh 186 in march. I would normally be happy to lose weight, but right now my concern is I haven't been trying to lose weight. My weight has just been steadily decreasing without me trying I haven't changed anything in my lifestyle or diet, and I am currently almost always sedentary. This concerns me because my weight has been stable roughly around 200 for years. I went to the community clinic near me because in feb I had blood in my stool that looked like clots. I haven't seen any blood since and had no prior experience with blood in my stool before. I did a hemoccult of one sample it came back negative. I have had to use aleve to treat my arthritis pain and I had taken two aleve in seven-hour window hours prior to seeing the blood in stool so that is the only thing I could chalk it up to being the cause, not completely sure it was though. I have taken nsaids for years without issue but just in case since then I stopped taking them. I have severe gerd,possible ibs have all the symptoms(every few months painful stomach cramps then rapid urge to go to the bathroom lasts 30 minutes then fine have had this for years sometimes feel sick from the vagus nerve usually certain foods trigger this like my gerd) but haven't gotten diagnosed, and psoriatic arthritis. The only medication I am on is nexium over the counter. I have had severe gerd since I was newborn stomach acid regurgitates into my month often certain foods trigger it more. I don't have health insurance I am only able to go to a community clinic right now and they only cover general care. My weight hasn’t been stable since before may and it's decreasing slowly. I should add I have had sharp pain that lasts for a few seconds on the right flank slightly towards the back only happened a few times in the last couple of months but have had it happen twice the past two day. Also been dealing with nausea. I am just not sure where to go with this I am concerned.

Have you gone to an er? By law they have to treat you with or without insurance. Have you had ct or cta of your abdomen? They also can do more extensive bloodwork in er.

@rinaa could you see another doctor? Your symptoms - especially the unexplained weight loss - sound serious.

@hyrulewarrior - I’ve been reading up about Gastroparesis and it sounds exactly what your symptoms are. Mayo has material but I’m not allowed to post links here. It seems it’s not always possible to identify a cause and it also seems not to be curable but manageable. I am totally shocked your GI Doctor isn’t working with you to treat it as there seem to be a number of treatment options to try. You absolutely need to see your GP and get a second opinion. Please keep us posted.

@isadora2021
I am very curious as to how you are now. My 21 yo daughter is having the exact same issue. It has affected her quality of life.

@chall7602 I’m so sorry your daughter’s quality of life has been so badly compromised. I hope she gets palliative care (management of her issues). My oncologist and nurse practitioner have been wonderful and I haven’t needed additional support, so far.

I have been very fortunate. Treatment affects us all in such different ways. I am doing very well after initial debulking surgery including a radical hysterectomy, 6 months of fortnightly cycles of Folfiri and Avastin with the 46 hour take home pump and then HIPEC with cytoreductive surgery including a peritonectomy (the so called “mother of all surgeries”).

I had part of my bowel removed but woke up without a stoma and bag.

I’ve been in remission with close surveillance PET—CT scanning and blood tests. Initially every 3 months (sometimes 2) and recently moved to 6 months.

For quality of life I need to manage what I eat, how much I eat and how often I eat to minimise constipation or diarrhea as well as abdominal pain especially at the resection site. I’ve been so lucky in the quality of life I’ve got. I still get tired and need to manage that. I exercise daily (long walks with my dogs and playtime) and eat nutritiously most of the time. The mental side for me can be tough which is why focussing on the here and now and what I can do and not what I can’t any more (like running long distances) has been so important for me.

Please give your daughter a big hug from me ❤️‍🩹
