On August 10th I started taking Probiotics and Green Tea extract to replace the medicines that I was taking. The meds I was on were to regulate my bowel movements and they helped but not that much. I have also noticed that eating foods that cause bloating do not help. I try and stay away from certain vegetables and carbs that make my stomach heavy. Eating light and frequently is often the best thing I can be doing for myself.
I have also noticed a link between feeling sick and my emotional state. When I have a bad day in which my stomach is very uncomfortable, I am always very depressed. Part of me goes to a very dark lonely place. I feel afraid, alone and helpless. While this is happening the more logical side of my is confused because it does not make sense. I have a very good life except for this stupid spleen and I have a lot of people who love me a lot. Its almost like it’s a chemical unbalance that happens.
Google has been teaching me a lot about the causes of an enlarged spleen. Based on my research, the possibilities seem like I can have some sort of infection (viral, bacterial or parasitic), some sort of lymphoma (unlikely), or some sort of blood cancer (unlikely). See below for reading if interested.
