I am 19 year old male, skinny, I cant gain weight no matter how much I eat, Its been like this for my entire life.
Starting 2 years ago, I started to have periodical gas problem, I would burp as often as every 5 seconds for the whole day. It is voluntarily burping, I can hold it if i want to but it feels unpleasant. Theres also dull pain just under edge of the rib cage on lower left which extends through the back. I also have uncurable acnes which never disappears. The thing to note is that when Im feeling really sick with the gas problem, acnes would also popup in bulk, they seem to be related. Small Hard stools can sometimes accompany the symptoms.
As soon as the sympton started 2 years ago, I had gastroscopy and abdomen CT scan which both turned out normal. My dr thought it is something related to reflux and put me on different kind of reflux medication non-of which solved the complication.
The gas problem tends to come and goes, however, the period that i feel sick are way longer than the period which i feel normal. I've seen several doctors and non of them seemed to be concerned or know the cause. I was sent for blood and urine test many many times which all came back normal. Blowing test normal. Abdomen ultrasound also normal. So i am running out of ideas I lived with the bloating and gas problem for 2 years.
3 Weeks ago, I decided to try the detox laxative herbs from pharmacy. I took a dose one night and the next day I had extreme fatigue, diarrhea, and hives. I took a trip to hospital and they took an x-ray indicating that im nothing but constipated. Diarhhea and fatigue lasted for about one week however the hives simply won't go away. The gas problem and abdominal pain has also become more severe ever since I took the herbs. The hives would attack day and night spawning on my arms, legs, backs and abdomen. Anti-histamine medicine does help against the hives.
I eat relatively healthy foods, whole grain in the morning, rice and alot of vegetables for lunch and dinner. I also exercise and consume large amount of fruits. I have tried probiotics and removed alcohol, carbonated drink, sweet things from my diet. I have tried eating small meals and go for a walk 10 minutes after meals. But the synptoms persist.
Does anyone have similar symptoms and can someone please help me!
