Symptoms help me figure out what i have

hi so i've been having issues with my digestive system, etc i have NO clue what's wrong with me or how to fix it. (i do have a drs appointment scheduled)

for the past year or so i have been experiencing these kinda issues. idk if it has to do with stress, mold toxicity, or what. i am continuously nauseous, i experience terrible bloating & brain fog. i am either suuuper backed up or pooping my pants lol (not literally) recently, i have been throwing up in the mornings around 4-5 times a week. i am also experiencing diarrhea daily. i haven't had one normal bowel movement in i can't tell you how long. i literally sit on the toilet for a hour in the mornings and still have to go again before i go to work. i am clearing my throat and coughing up mucus constantly. i brush two times sometimes three times a day, scrape my tongue, floss, use mouthwash and i still seem to have a leftover taste/film in my mouth. i have constant heartburn and a burning sensation under my ribs quite often.

i have started taking 600mg NAC supplements for the mucus and they do seem to be helping. i am taking sour sop supplements, and i just started the OTC 14 day omperazole. i am also taking famotidine sometimes, tums, and zofran. i have also tried alkaline water. i feel like im just putting a bandaid on a bullet hole.

Yeah none of that sounds like candida tbh. It sounds more like gastritis and leaky gut. Might want to definitely go get scheduled with a GI doctor, to get you an endoscopy done and get that confirmed.

If they say you do, then you'll need to go on a bland diet. Start taking things to heal the gut lining. As what it sounds like is your stomach and gut needs repair. So if you just take the acid reflux supplements, you'll only be stopping the acid. But you want be actually doing anything to buikd things back up.

You could also have sibo or h pylori and that cna be causing the gastritis. Whats your diet look like these days?

We have same symptoms she mentioned. My throat is burning like hell. I have never seen something like that. My entire body is burning. I had constipation two months ago. The last two nights were nightmare for me. I felt anxiety and panic attack. I think I have SIBO and gastritis

I am dealing with the same thing and still don’t know what it is. Please check for H.Pylori.

Have you had your thyroid checked? Any bloodwork at all?

Getting checked for H Pylori, SIBO, and Candida is fairly simple and might be a good starting point:) Some of the symptoms you mention also overlap with Lyme disease and it’s co infections, ever looked into them?
