I am an RN and have been trying to self diagnose and treat my abdominal bloating, nausea and discomfort for months. Eating small, low fiber meals frequently and Zofran as needed. I recently failed a gastric emptying study which indicated gastroparesis. Colonoscopy yesterday was clean. I am still uncomfortable after eating small amounts of food but gaining weight as my activity level has decreased due to fatigue. Iam not diabetic. I have a SIBO test to complete this week but Iam getting so frustrated and feeling like I’m pregnant every day due to distention. I am 61 years old and my kids are grown.
I did have a serious event with Solanine/nightshade poisoning from a Chinese Lantern plant and ended up unconscious and awakened while in a CT scanner after paramedics brought
Me to local ED. Could there be some correlation between this ? I did see a naturopath after the poisoning event and she said the poison could remain in intestines for years to come… I did have a colonic or washing of the colon after the event but what about my small intestinal tract ?
Just working on trying to feel like myself again as I am a busy RN and want to continue working.
Any and all thoughts are appreciated.
