  |

It all started about a month and a half ago. I went to the doctor, because I was always tired. He took some blood from me to do some test. While waiting for the results, he recommended I go on a High Protein, low carb diet to help with the fatigue. The test results came back, and my Kidney Functions were a little high. He told me he would check back with me in a month, and if they are still high, then he would send me to a Kidney Specialist.
Meanwhile, one day I was overcome with bubbling and gas. I associated it with something I ate that day, and thought nothing of it. As the days progressed, the gas never went away. My stomach was always bubbling and gurling. I had regular bowel movements and everything, but the gurling and bubbling would never go away. This went on for about three to four weeks. I took Gas-X, Tums, Pepto-Bismol, and Maalox. Nothing seemed to do the trick. This past week, my bowel movement started to change. They became a little more frequent and more loose. Last Wednesday, I had full blown Diaherra (loose watery stool). I believe this was from an old hamburgers that were in the fridge and were thrown on the grill for a cookout (it was July 4th). Now I am having more loose bowel movements, not watery or anything, just coming out in peebles.
Now when I go, I never seem fully relieved. I always feel "full" and more needs to come out. I went to the doctor a few days ago, and she associated it with my diet, since I told her I was trying to stay away from the fast foods and eat more healthy (fruits, vegatables). I'm thinking this might have something to do with my Kidneys, but who knows. She recommended that I stop drinking Powerade (which I drunk regularly for years) and drink Caffeine-free 7up & Sprite along with Water.
I also will stop eating the frozen dinners (usually the Healthy Choice brand), which I started to eat a couple of months ago (in my sad attempt to eat healther). I didn't know they were loaded with Sodium. Right now I am up in arms about what to do and what do eat. I do not know how to cook and I really don't eat breakfast, since I am really not in the mood to eat in the mornings.
Anybody have any advice as to what is causing all of this?
Also, I am loosing weight like crazy. I went from 188 to 164 in about a month and a half. This maybe because I don't eat as much as I use to because I am worried about eating the "wrong" things healthwise. |
