I already laid all my cards on the table in my first post. I went through the whole gauntlet—gastroscopy and colonoscopy included—and finally cleared the HBpylori. Everything looks fine, more or less, except for this note about having a lot of bile in my stomach. My doctor says not to sweat it, though. Also, an ultrasound picked up a tiny polyp on my gallbladder, but again, he’s telling me it’s nothing to worry about and that it couldn't possibly be the root cause of all my issues...

Look, I just skimmed through the threads quickly to make sure nothing was against the rules, so I didn't read every single word—just skipped around.
I asked about the stomach because I’ve figured out that whenever my own system acts up, undigested food just starts coming out. My gut can't process what should have been broken down in the stomach, so it just pushes everything out as fast as possible.

but maybe it could be coming from the kidneys🙂

Here are my thyroid results:
T4 - 62.4
TSH - 1.06
T3 - 1.31
So, apparently, my T4 is just a hair under the normal range... I already laid out all my symptoms in my first post, so please, give me some advice or even just a take on these numbers. Where do I go from here? My primary care doctor just keeps churning out referrals but won't actually tell me what's wrong—either he doesn't know or he just refuses to suggest what might actually be causing these symptoms.

velvethound62 said:I see some of you have started linking my thyroid issues to celiac disease... honestly, I’d rule out celiac myself since I don't deal with nausea or vomiting. What *is* weird is that every 4 or 5 days, my temperature jumps to 98.8°F when it’s usually sitting at a steady 98.2°F. I’ve noticed other changes too, like my eyes looking sunken. For instance, lunch today was a meat roll, salad, mushrooms, and peas—and now, sitting here on the toilet, I can literally see every single bit of it undigested in my stool. On top of all those symptoms I mentioned when I started this thread, there’s this constant ringing in my left ear. And here's another strange thing: I put in two hours of heavy physical labor this past Saturday after having three beers, and I didn't even feel particularly tired. P.S. Please don't come at me—I am not an alcoholic! I’ve had people suggest this might just be anxiety, but knowing myself, I just can't bring myself to agree with that. If anyone actually has some insight, I'm listening...

That’s your problem, not mine.

I need you to clean up these lab results.
How am I supposed to explain this to you when you're perfectly healthy? Honestly, you people would probably be thrilled if someone sat you down and told you that you had something like pancreatic cancer.🙂
