Hi all,
This is my first post here but I thought you could help me. For the past few months it seems something has changed and I don't know what. I'll give some background.
-I'm 37 years old and in very good health. I eat extremely well. No fast food, no soda, no red meat, nothing processed. I exercise daily quite vigorously and am not overweight. I do have Epilepsy and am on Keppra and Topamax but it is very well controlled. No issues. I take vitamins (C, B, D, Fish Oil, Evening Primrose Oil). I also take a whey protein, glutamine, and BCAA's after I workout.
So this is my recent issue. It seems like everytime I eat, which is very frequently, small meals, I feel full very quickly and have this lump in my throat. Very annoying. Also, I feel this pain in my upper stomach/chest (not sure where) and I am constantly feeling bloated (lower stomach). I always thought maybe I needed to lose that last bit of weight maybe but I really think it is bloating. I am 5'4" and weight about 130 or so. Can't hurt to lose a few. I used to never burp at all but recently I have been which is odd for me as I always got laughed at for not being able to burp. Never a skill I learned, haha. I was happy with it being the quiet female I am.
So I had an Upper GI and ultrasound this morning and it was normal. Hmmm! The doctor said he'd send me to a GI specialist but I thought I'd see if any of you had some ideas for me.
Thanks a bunch.
Jo
