Sick for two months, but im not sick...

[KillingTime]

Ive been sick for 2 months, having all kinds of intestinal symptoms.
No pain just a constant feeling of fullness, bloating, and nausea/upset stomach.
I'm a bodybuilder so i was used to eating 6 meals a day but that has been drastically reduced and ive lost 20 lbs. Some days I can force down almost 5 meals, although small ones, other days like today ive barely eaten anything.

The bad news is ive had a blood test, an abdominal ultrasound and now even an endoscopy test and they can't find anything wrong.
Gallstones, appendicitis, liver damage, ulcers, H. Pylori, cancer.... nothing.
I did have some very mild irritation in my stomach and esophagus but it shouldn't be causing such extreme symptoms, if anything it could be a symptom in and of itself of whatever else may be wrong.

Where do I go from here? They tell me, well you're ok nothing is wrong.... yea great, too bad I feel sick 24/7 and my clothes are all falling off b/c I can't maintain any weight..
The only thing I can think of is that I might have some weird case of depression/anxiety that's giving me all these physical symptoms, that or my thyroid but Im really running out of options here.

could it be severe acid reflux? my mom had that and her dr had to prescribe her some stuff that was stronger than over the counter stuff. it seems to have helped for about three years or so now.

first of all, remember, your health is much more precious than your physique. I had to quit bodybuilding before because of health problems, and now, although I am still working out, i am much healthier thanks to changed diet, right food, etc.


endoscopy? ouch, i feel your pain.

honestly, since this is your health and your life, i suggest you try and eat very healthy if you are not doing that already. By that I mean lots of vegetables and fiber, less red mead, more fish and so on. When i had my problems, i started eating extra healthy, and i felt much better.

Bodybuilding is great, i still love it, but its not healthy the way some guys eat too much protein, ****ty carbs, too much canned or artificial crap and so on.

Also, have you started anything weird in the past couple of months? New protein stuff, milk, etc? Maybe its something thats causing it.

How long have you been bodybuilding? If you don't take periodic 2-3 week breaks from lifting and bulk diets every 4 months or so, you can overstress your body. It sounds like your system is going on strike from being worked too hard
