I’m so sorry 😢…
The weird thing is I can’t lose a pound ( and need to lose 30 lbs last 15 yrs ). I started this horrific journey 10 years ago . I don’t eat much at all either . My friend said , when your body is in starvation mode ( when you don’t or can’t eat much ), it stores fat and that’s why I don’t lose weight.
I just am always in gastric distress so hate eating . The 1000’s of deep wet sewer tasting belching and churning is non stop . Even if empty stomach .
When I do eat ( we cook healthy dinners at home only ), still suffer .
I hope this new 6 th Gastro I’ll see can help !
Do you see a Gastro Dr.?

I’m sorry that you are so miserable- I understand, have been there myself for many years. I hope your new GI will be more helpful.
Did you consider going to Mayo?
By the way, you are not hopeless. Being sick 24/7 makes one miserable.
I also went to a therapist to talk about always being sick. I didn’t want to talk to the family about my misery all the time. It just feels good to vent.

Yes. I see a gastro doc. He says nothing is wrong with my belly. The psychiatrist says is from depression and anxiety which I believe it is. I fight every day to try and not be depressed and anxious, but it is a uphill battle. Meds don't work or stop working. I have been on at least 25 of them in my lifetime. Been to many psychiatrists. Seems like I am hopeless. I hope you can find the right treatment. I have my psychiatrist since March. So I am giving her a try.
Prayers for you .thanks for replying . Maybe we will come up with an answer.
