Hello everyone, and good morning. Introducing myself.

I used to be a healthy energetic female until I hit the age of 25 then everything seemed to go downhill. I developed health issues, could not eat, when I did eat I my body released everything I ate in every way possible it could. This became a real problem not only due to the fear of "what is going on factor," but also because I was working in a situation where I could not just run to the bathroom when nature called. I began wearing diapers, and carrying extra cloths/diapers to try to compensate for my increasing strange eating disorder. The only positive side of this was that I did have health insurance however, I spent more than two years going to many different doctors. Each doctor tested me in many ways a and prescribed numerous medications/treatments but nothing worked. A nurse finally gave me some advise to go on the "BRAT" diet and drink a protein drink to keep some substance in my body. Before my symptoms began I weighed 150 pounds within 2 weeks I weighed 100 pounds as the weeks/years went by I lost 1 to 2 pounds (I was scared, afraid to get on the scale, and became very weak). Earlier yesterday (08-27-11) I weighed myself and was thrilled that I weighed 130 pounds. Today (08-28-11) my body woke me up with cramps a familiar experience (meaning get to the bathroom now which I did). I had diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting all at the same time. I am back to wearing diapers, drinking water and fearing eating anything until my system calms down. I do not have insurance now so I am going to attempt to control my bodies issues on my own This is so frustrating. I am trying to get a job, however, my need to make "the run for the toilet" will definitely make this difficult. Wish me luck. I am glad I found your site. I hope I will get advise that can help me, and perhaps some of my experiences can help others. Thank you all. Blessed be.

Welcome! :)
My best guess; Food intolerance. There's something entering your body regularly that's toxic to it. Worse than a food allergy, this condition actutally damages the small intestine to the point that nothing can absorb, resulting in nutritient deficiecy and dehydration.

Regular doctors are totally useless, in my experience, in diagosing food intolerance. I also went to numerous and had lots of tests, even a barium test. My condition was finally determined by a GI panel test with a Registered Dietician (more than just a dietician, this is like a doctor of dietary issues.) I'm intolerant to cassiene (protien in diary) and soy protien. I'd unknowingly eaten these things for so long, they damaged the scillia in my intestines. This caused ANY food to go right through me, even a glass of water, at times. Intense cramps and gurgling in my gut leading to immediate bowel evactuation within moments. I remember pulling over on the side of the road to go- like you, there's no stopping it. It was totally debilitating.

You're literally eating somethting that is poisonous to your body. You need to find out what it is ASAP. Do not try "food elimination" diets. It takes too long to figure out what the culprit is bc your gut is so damaged.

Good luck! Keep us updated!
