Help a WF member out - Health

My niece's significant other has the same problem, but he's in full blown crone's disease. Once they moved in together, she started cooking for him and he's now having very few episodes.

First off - get yourself OFF of any food that is GMO, and cut out the gluten. The mix of those two things are lethal. Stop drinking anything like soda -- go completely natural with your food. You may want to look up the paleo diet and at least base your intake on that...any meat should be organic. You might wanna clean out your kidneys with some lemon juice and dandelion, and your liver with milk thistle.

If you want to talk to a guy who is being helped by this regime, I can ask my niece and him if I can give you one of their emails to talk to them. He was never able to find a doctor that helped one iota, but the new diet is changing his world.

Well, it could be a number of things.

You COULD have diabetes melittus(sp?), AKA DIABETES, BUT, by the time you were an adult, I think you would be BOUND to find out about it.

There IS a disease called diabetes INSIPIDUS. It apparently only has TWO symptoms, You drink VERY often, and urinate very often: Diabetes insipidus: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia

Of course, this COULD be a kidney problem, but that could have been found earlier.
It COULD be a bladder problem.

The bladder problem hasn't gotten me depressed but it's definitely the OTHER issue (bowel control etc). That's the one that's FAR too embarrassing for me

Two suggestions:

1) Go to a local, small or family run health food store - usually they have someone there that you can talk to and I would ask if they know of any Naturopathic Doctors they would recommend. Try to get 2 or more names. Call them and ask if you can ask them some questions before actually making an appointment - if any of them say no, or give you any type of negative feedback about needing a paid appointment before you can ask just some basic questions, go with the one that is most open to answering your questions.

2) Visit Welcome | Home | Frontpage - I know that it might sound a bit hokey at first but the military is actually employing EFT as a method for helping soldiers suffering from PTSD - I can tell you from personal experience that it has helped my wife who had a problem with the urination part of the equation about 11 years ago after a horrendous experience in an operating room - she could barely go 20-30 minute without going to the bathroom - at one point she was in a medical Dr's office 3 times in one week because she was also losing weight badly as she never weighed over 100 lb's, she dropped to 79 lbs.

Using a Naturopathic Doctor who employed a system similar to EFT, she eliminated her issue within two months.

We both use EFT from time to time for various issues and why it works, I have no idea but for us it has.

Hope this helps.

Thanks again for all the responses you guys are great.

You need to talk to your doctor first off. Also speak to a dietician and see what they can suggest as far as your diet. It does NOT sound like diabetes....I am diabetic and an expert as I have also written over 1000 articles on the subject. There could be many reasons but your doctor is the first place to start...and NOW, not later, so that you can get some serious help.

My wife kept having health problems, she went to 3 different doctors trying to figure out what was wrong. The first two doctors were useless as tree stumps & wouldn't order any test. The 3rd doctor ordered blood test & also found that it was her gallbladder that was causing the problem. She had her gallbladder removed & the surgeon came out to tell us he was very surprised her gallbladder hadn't ruptured long before she had the surgery (it was that bad).

My point is, some doctors suck. If they're not helping you within a month move on to find a doctor that will help you.

Yeah, doctors won't even give you a blood test for the stuff they CAN! If they did, they would probably have to take 10+ vials of blood, would charge you over like $2000(for the tests alone), etc... But you would ONLY get it done if you SPECIFICALLY asked for each test, and the doctor allowed it. Insurance likely wouldn't cover it.

And most doctors REALLY just want to get you out of their office. I have to wonder how bad Chok is, because you have to spend VERY little time to be on a par with most.

In reference to what yukon said, I was given a clean bill of health after a "complete physical" and about 2 months later ended up dying in an emergency room! SERIOUSLY, the doctors gave me 5 days to live, TOPS! It was a 13hour long tag team type open heart operation. The KICKER? if the "doctor" that gave me the "complete physical" did things properly(a simple blood pressure/pulse test that is MANY DECADES old), he could have detected I was at risk and given a drug to prevent the problem. Ironically, many places use electronic gadgets to do this, and didn't think to build the intelligence into them until a few years ago. So most DO IT WRONG!

Years later, I went to a cardiologist and HE checked me the proper way, interestingly. If only I had HIM as a doctor. Ironically, I thought the "complete physical" was a joke from the get go, because it was NOTHING like the complete physical I had once to attend one school. Maybe they figured the potential exertion might be too much or something, but they actually demanded that all students get a complete physical.

Anyway, maybe you should start looking up symptoms and trying to find things to exclude. Doctors DO often fail!

Of course, try to find a doctor. It would be hard to find a specialist without knowing what it is. An enterologist could MAYBE help you with the LATEST symptom. Maybe you would luck out, and he or she has enough knowledge to figure out the rest. Maybe a nephrologist could help you with your primary symptom. The MOST common failure that can cause what you originally described is that the kidneys fail to do one of their primary jobs, which is to reclaim water. But that could be caused by a LOT of things. In DI, it is hormonal. In DM, it is likely because sugar is released and it is hygroscopic. It could happen if too much protein is released. It could also be a kidney problem of some sort. Of course, BOTH could be due to an allergy.

So WHO KNOWS?

GGpaul,

I thought for sure maybe I could help, but then found maybe I can't to the caliber I thought I could...

I did however, Pray for you!

It took some guts to come here to a forum where there's so many *&#&##@'s and explain your problem.

I for one, highly applaud you and wish you for a fast recovery. While I've had my fair share of problems, it's fair after my recovery to what thanks I should be grateful for!

You are destined for great things and it's upon you to find the Praying heal to get you back on track! You'll get past this!

I am a qualified doctor but I am not familiar with the specialties that your symptoms fall under. I cannot think of anything single disease entity that could tie your urinary and bowel symptoms except of a psychological nature e.g. anxiety.

However, I would recommend that you see a gastro-instestinal specialist. As a minimum, I think you need to have part of your colon examined. For example, a polyp in your rectum could cause a persistent feeling of wanting to defecate.

I would also recommend that you try using an enaema. If you have constipation, then it should allow you to pass faeces quickly. If not, then the chances are that there are no faeces there to pass in the first place.

That sounds like it could be related to intestinal flora fauna issues as most digestive problems are. I would suggest rule out diabetes, cancer, other potential causes and go see a naturopath if you can afford it.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a medical professional in any way, shape, or form. It would be wisest to go see one. Try ER: it's more likely to be free or cheaper and the younger ones working as interns in hospitals might be more privy to the latest information on diseases. Again, I am ignorant and don't know squat.

Ohhh this is really irritating for your girlfriend i can understand but on the other hand if she is sincere with you she must understand your problem as well moreover i remember once i shared my stomach problem in this section and WF members were pointed at my thread that this is not the place to share such problem i wanted to take some ideas as you want anyways you should consult to doctor dont do experiments by yourself this is what i can suggest mate.

Wow a TON of wonderful posts. Thanks guys. I know it's a touchy subject but I'm at that point in my life where I'm reaching out to everyone and NOT just doctors. And HOPEFULLY, I do find specialists here as well and not just online marketers .

Yeah....it's not normal of using the toilet (not urination) 4+ times a day...and always feeling like it needs to come out whenever I'm out in public. And it's not normal that I can't leave the house UNTIL I use the restroom. It's not normal that I can't HOLD it at all? I have friends that tell me they got to use the restroom..but they can HOLD IT and actually GO TO SLEEP and THEN go the next day?! I can't do that.

I want to experience what you all experience. The simple things in life. You know...going out to the beach and actually laying in the middle of the sand and NOT close to a stinky restroom. I want to drive up the mountains and see the view of the world...
Heck..I want to TRAVEL the world. But how can I if I can't even sit on a plane knowing that I Have to use the restroom non stop?

I want to at least drive for more than 1 hour straight without stopping all the time and using the restroom. I want to watch a movie at the theatres while sitting with my friends in the MIDDLE of the row instead of me sitting in the corner seat alone.

I want to go to the bars, the clubs without waiting in line to use the restroom and spend most of my time there. I want to try out all kinds of foods without thinking about where the nearest restroom is before taking a bite.

I want to wait in line to see my favorite celebrity, or look at the new release of an item? Or how about standing in front row seats to watch my favorite band perform BUT I can't because obviously I know in-between that I have to use the restroom so I have to be in the WORST area possible but the BEST area to use the restroom right away.

Is this all psychological? Am I psyching myself out?!

I know this forum is meant for us making $$ and all being successful but at THIS point in MY Life...the only thing that is successful is MY HEALTH. The $$ will come I have no doubt. But How do I enjoy that $$ if I'm limited to do ANYTHING?

I have insurance by the way..

Anyways...Thanks guys. This is so depressing but I got to stay positive.
