I see you posted this 3 years ago and am wondering if you ever got the help you needed? I hope this helps! I can not encourage you enough to try this! I suffered from all your wifes symptoms for over a year, and it is hell as no doctors can offer any answers or help. A B vitamin will not work though, you need to get the converted B12. So I now take a B12 supplement every day as well, this wont help with the bloating but will improve the fatigue. But because of my bad digestion my body had stopped converting the b vitamins, into B12. I recommend fodmap above everything else, but I also learnt that I was vitamin B deficient, yet this didn't come up in any original tests, as my body was receiving plenty of B vitamins. There is a monash university fodmap app that you can get on your phone, it tells you what you can and can't eat and serving sizes, I think it was $10, try this for a week! It honestly change my life! Before going on it I just got so so so bloated after every meal, I was buying new clothes to hide the fact that after lunch I miraculously looked pregnant, I was also constantly fatigued, I went from taking 5 gym classes a week to none. I know if I eat an apple in the morning I will be bloated for the day, and have ongoing fatigue the next! This diet has changed my life I can not recommend it enough. Through it I have learnt that little things like garlic make me bloated, I can't even eat apples. I was complaining to a med student one day and they had me try the fodmap diet! It basically eliminates any food that is even mildly hard to digest. HI I had all these issues too! It was hell, I had every test under the sun at the doctor so she decided to blame it on anxiety and stress so wanted to put me on anti depressants, when I knew that that was not the issue. Please let me know if you have any idea what this might be!! I am desperate as it is really impacting my quality of life Thank you! I am also slightly anemic but taking the iron prescribed to me makes me feel incredibly constipated and sick. I am very healthy when it comes to eating so it is very frustrating that I feel so sick all of the time. The antibiotics seemed to help but one of my main symptoms at that time was the upper abdominal pain. I was feeling really awful and had a fever and chills. Earlier this year during another flare up they thought it could be a kidney infection. I also have had a strange, dull texture to my fingernails for 7 years now. Some other strange symptoms are I am thirsty all of the time and I get headaches in the from of my head that feel like dehydration but I drink a lot everyday. I am severely bloated, constipated and my tummy just feels inflamed and angry. This can be very intense but dull and it hasn't stopped hurting in 4 days now. I have an awful pain in my upper abdomen that radiates up my back.
My head always feels foggy and I can't concentrate on things and lately my memory has gotten bad which is scary. Especially after meals and in the afternoon. Basically the main symptoms that have been bothering me for over 2 years are overwhelming fatigue all of the time. However, I feel as though I am not feeling better at all. I have also developed allergies to dairy, eggs and soy. I was diagnosed with celiac about a year ago and have been completely off of gluten.
