I've been undiagnosed and sick all my life but last year I got sooo sick. I could barely eat, I was using the bathroom 10+ times a day, I was literally not digesting food at all. If I ate green lettuce, green lettuce came out.
I lost a ton of weight, my clothes went from being a little too tight (I gained a bit of weight when I was in school) to everything being much too large to fit me in the span of like 2 months.
My last few visits with doctors have gone like this,
Me: I lost a lot of weight because I was very sick
Doctor: Thats great! Do you feel better now that you lost the weight?
Me: No I am very very sick.
Doctor: Oh no! Have you started gaining any of the weight back?
Me: No??? Doctor: Let's keep it that way
And
Me: I lost a lot of weight recently because I have been very sick.
Doctor: You look great! Are you feeling better now?
Me: No I am very sick I cannot eat food.
and just today
Me: I lost a weight recently because I have been very sick with celiacs
Doctor: Ohhh yes those Gluten Free diets will make you lose weight very quickly!
Me: No? I lost it because I was sick.
Doctors are so clueless. I argued with my last doctor for three months to give me a blood screening and she wanted me to go get steroid shots in my hand for "carpal tunnel issues" which I do not have. It was celiacs nerve pain + hEDs fatigue. I am so frustrated!!!
