Diagnose my digestion problems PLEASE!
Hi I have been having some digestion problems for some time (2-3 years) and I can't figure out what exactly is going on. I don't want to visit a doctor if i dont have to. I have anxiety and
Depression and I think part of it may be rooted from my digestive issues. Also it could be the other way around I suppose.
My symptoms:
-Anxiety (specifically social anxiety/general anxiety)
-Depression
-Loose stool/greasy stool. I wouldn't call it diarrhea but its not totally formed, so maybe it is.
-Yellowish/Light brown stool ALWAYS
-Stool usually floats
-Stool comes out as a whole, but if you touch it it flakes apart, and a clear mucus comes out from it. It is soft and always falls apart when flushed.
-Sometimes have bloating, never have stomach pain
- Bowel movements come on fast and I usually go within 10 minutes of it coming on.
-Never feel completely evacuated.
-Often have whole pieces of food in my stool such as grains etc.
-Rosacea
-Cold hands/feet almost always
-Very temperature sensitive, a little bit either way makes me uncomfortable
I have thought possibly I had celiac, but I went gluten free for about 3 months and felt no change so I kind of ruled that out.
I have thought it may be candida, but I don't know a whole lot about it.
I have thought it may be low stomach acid, but taking Betaine HCL didn't change a whole lot.
I am just looking for anyone somewhat experienced to give me their opinion on what might be causing these problems! Thank you!
