"I have bowel issues, my legs/arms can sometimes feel heavy/odd, and sometimes I have pain [more like soreness] in my lower back/hips when I've eaten but am constipated." You literally have the exact same problems I'm struggling with that no one can find an explanation for. About 2 years ago I had troubles with gagging all the time and they diagnosed a small hiatal hernia, for that I took PPIs then about a year ago in May 2019 I noticed a sudden change in stool it took on every form or colour imaginable and I had a lot of pain in my epigastric area. I did multiple blood tests which only showed elevated levels of bilirubin but still within non dangerous levels. I did CT scan of abdomen and thorax which were both normal. But yea for a year now I am super fatigued all the time, my legs and upper arms can feel really strange (like a mix of crawling, heaviness, weakness, creepy) and I also feel weird/sore around my kidneys in the back but I can also feel it on 2 points from the front of my body (where my kidneys would be located).

I do not think Restless legs was the correct diagnosis unfortunately. Your case seems so similar to mine and I believe it is something in the gut. Just yesterday by chance I discovered that after oversaturating myself with vitamin C, which leads to watery diarrhea made me feel temporarily a lot better. I'm theorizing that there could be a bacteria or fungus in my gut that releases toxins that produce these symptoms in me. And the watery diarrhea acted as a kind of gut cleanse for a few hours which washed away the toxins for a period of a few hours.

You could try the experiment yourself if you have symptoms, if you experience the same relief it could point us both in the right direction. I drank half a glass of water mixed with a teaspoon of ascorbic soda every half hour until I have to rush to the toilet (Your guts will rumble a lot). It usually takes like 4 glasses and you'll end up an hour on the toilet.

Thank you so much for the Vitamin C suggestion!! I have very similar symptoms with no answer. I used to have horrible acid reflux and GI put me on PPIs too. 2 years ago I found out acid reflux is actually usually caused by low acid. That lead me to research causes of low acid. Thyroid is one of the main things that causes acid reflux, constipation, brain fog, etc. You can have thyroid issues even when thyroid blood tests are "normal". The amount of thyroid hormones that regular drs say we need is usually not enough. You have to go to a holistic dr. Also get reverse t3 tested. Not all holistic drs do it you have to specify and ask.

I had my vitamin levels tested at a health food store. My vitamin C was low. I looked up vitamin C deficiency and toxicity symptoms. I read that too much vitamin C causes diarrhea. Since then I wanted to overdose on vitamin C but wasnt sure how.

Are you still experiencing symptoms?
