History

History of my condition -
July 08 – Loss of appetite for periods of 1-2 weeks. Also, feelings of anxiety during the same time. I believed the loss of appetite to be anxiety related.

Nov 08 – Food poisoning for 4 days. Day one, vomit and diarrhea. Day two to four, loss of appetite and I could not eat fast. It took about one hour to eat a piece of bread and drink a glass of water. Uncomfortable stomach the whole time.

Dec 08 to June 08 – Periodic loss of appetite for periods of 1-2 weeks about every two months. Feeling of fullness during those times.

June 08 - Got the flu for 3-4 days. Fever, cold symptoms and not feeling good at all.

Approx July 1st – More extreme loss of appetite and uncomfortable stomach. Worse in the morning.

Approx July 5th – Doctor appointment. Started taking Pemex, Riopan and Netaphim to help digestion and reduce stomach acid. Also started diet without milk and alcohol.

Approx July 17th – Took endoscopy and found a lump from outside my stomach pushing into my stomach. Got a CAT scan and found that my spleen is about 2x’s as big as normal. Started taking Libertrum SII to help bowl work better.

Approx July 20th – Took blood, stool and urine tests. Tests reviled large amounts of E. Coli in my gastro and urinary tracks. Started taking antibiotic to get rid of bacteria.

Approx July 21st to date – Started to feel regular on a more consistent basis. I have noticed that regular meals throughout the day produce less stomach discomfort. Eating too much in one sitting can cause a large amount of discomfort. Stopped taking meds around August 4th and only took riopan on a per need basis.
