Anyone experience fatigue along with digestive symptoms?

Posted by pza @pza, 1 day ago

Not sure if a question I asked a while ago regarding fatigue and digestive issues was posted, so I will try again. I have been experiencing severe fatigue for almost 2 weeks. Thankfully, it is starting to decrease. I had blood tests, EKG, and chest x-ray, and all were normal. I had acid reflux for many months, but by watching diet and taking meds, I now do not experience acid reflux during the day and I am off meds, and I feel it is under control. I use a mattress wedge and head elevation at night for an acid reflux cough with bringing up mucus. That went away for about a month but now has recently recurred. So, I am wondering if all this fatigue is related to digestive issues. Anyone else experience this?

Good Day,
I have similar problems and recently found The Fast Track Diet online. I bought the book and am reading through it. It is science based and sounds like it might work for me. I’m not sure yet but here it is if you would like to investigate it further.

Do you also have diarrhea?
I was just diagnosed with stenosis of the peripheral celiac artery discovered through a ct scan. Had digestive issues, and have lost ten percent of my weight in a few months. Waiting to see the vascular surgeon.

No, no diarrhea. Have been experiencing bloating in chest and gas.
Hope you get relief.

YES! Digestive issues can bring fatigue. I discovered this when I realized that I couldn't digest dairy casein. When I stopped pizza, grilled cheese, any dairy (it's everywhere!)(I switched to coconut milk) - - all of a sudden, I could jump outta bed at 6:30 instead of draaaaagging myself up. So my conclusion is that our digestive tract must consume a lot of energy, doing its job. Hope you figure it out; no Doc helped me.
