Hi!
I am a 23 year old, normally healthy and active female. I exercise daily (running/cardio and eat healthy foods (Fruits, veggies, don't smoke, rarely drink coffee, alcohol only on one weekend night (2-3 drinks) etc.) I NOW weigh 153, but prior to last week weighed 147 .. which has never happened to me before.
I tried doing the first day of the cleanse from "The Plan, diet" and struggled to eat the proper amount of calories in that day so I ended up nixing the cleanse. Since then I have noticed my bowel movements have been less regular, as previously I had no issues with using the bathroom. I also had extrememe bloating in my bladder and frequent urination with similar symptoms as a UTI or Kidney stone/infection. After drinking a lot of water and cranberry juice for three days those symptoms are gone.
I now have this annoying hunger pain in my upper abdomen right after I eat, as if I'm starving. Everyoonce in a while I can slightly feeling a burning sensation, but it's all in my upper stomache area. I also have gained 6+ lbs within a week - which is frustrating because I work out every day and eat well. My stomache feels distended and super bloated - so I could pass as being pregnant certain times throughout the day. I normally have a very flat stomache, but now I feel bloated and gassy after anything I eat or drink. I feel that the weight gain MUST have something to do with this pain/bloatedness issue, but 6 pounds is pretty significant.
I have tried: herbal teas for constipation (thought I might be backed up), Ginger tea to treat gas and bloating symptoms, I tried the BRAT diet for a few days just to eat more bland foods (didn't help), I drink a ton of water everyday, I don't eat any fast food, fried/greasy food, etc.
I just ate oatmeal and blueberries and I feel STARVING now ... uhg, so frustrating that this is a sudden thing and I can't find anything to help .... Any advice would be awesome!! Also ... when I burp, the hungry sensation/pain seems to subside temporarily.
I wonder if it's some type of acid issue in my stomache - any suggestions on over the counter medication I could try to take, or what could be causing this all of the sudden????
Thanks!

Hi! I saw a doctor shortly after I posted this .. .she had me pick up Prilosec, the 14 day dose and I noticed a huge difference after two doses. I think the majority of my symptoms of stress/anxiety related, however I had never had problems with heartburn or those issues so I was amazed that it worked! I would say it's definitely worth a shot if the symptoms sound similar to yours. I just recently started having stomache problems again and took the second 14 day dose and notice it eliminates the constant burping and hunger feeling that started to come back. I'm not sure if this is just a tempory remedy for something else that is going on, but overall I feel healthy and do not have any other major health problems so I'm thinking I've found a pretty good solution ... for now :) It's not much, but I hope it helps!

Also, I have many other symptoms that have been developing since I traveled to Indonesia last year with my husband and went white water rafting in the mountains. We saw trash in the river and people washing clothes, etc. The day after we went rafting, we both woke up feeling like death and almost went to the ER thinking we had meningitis. Eventually, I became slightly better, but feel we haven't recovered over a year later. I am still having and developing more and more symptoms despite changing my diet dramatically to whole foods-based and exercising regularly with daily yoga and weekend hiking. Symptoms include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, twitching sensations over my body, severe body odor(I take 2-3 showers a day!), fatigue, severe lower leg and back itching so bad where I leave marks!(and I moisturizer with organic hemp oil daily and drink water religiously), major teeth grinding(have several an fractions), headaches, severe mood swings from laughing to yelling to crying to severe depression and anxiety and anger/rage, coughing up phlegm, frequent diarrhea(never had this unless I had the flu), rashes and whelps, wake up from 1-4 am frequently(liver toxicity sign), etc. These symptoms and circumstances I have looked back upon may indicate, and most likely do, that I have one or multiple parasitic infections.
I have begun to take an intestinal parasite cleanse with black walnut hulls, cloves, goldenseal, garlic, etc. to combat these bad microbes. Hopefully, I can eradicate them and also my symptoms to have my life back.
