I have tried posting this before -- and somehow the post gets off track -- but I am going to try one more time in a different forum.
I *really* need advice about Matt and his health. I am extremely worried, as are the doctors. I will try to keep this concise so that it does not lead to any confusion - (yet for anyone, even the doctors., this is confusing.) I just need ideas....please....of what to do.
-Matt is currently 6'4 and 160 lbs
-Matt has lost 30 lbs in 5 months
-Prior to that he lost 20 lbs in a year
-He has issues with "thinking" he is fat and talks about it if he eats too much
-Yet at certain times, in the right environment, he does eat a sufficient amount
-Since he was a child he could not eat dairy. That has now escalated to him throwing up or getting a migraine or diarreah if he eats dairy, foods with heavy saturated fats, nuts, and red meat.
-He says his stomach feels bloated and constipated almost daily - even though he is not constipated
-He feels naseaus, has a headache or backache every day
-Chrohns and auto-immune disease run in our family
-He has a permanent rash on his ankles and feet - possibly indicative of autoimmune
-The Dr has done blood work and his liver enzymes are elevated - she now wants him to go to a GI
I just need feedback. Where to go, what avenue to pursue. I truly cannot tell if this is an eating disoder, an auto-immune disorder, both, or something totally different. I am truly in need of some of your wisdom.
Thank you
Steely.
