Chronic Illness 8w

Pretty sure I have a mild food allergy, but I have no idea what’s causing it. I just hate being this miserable out of nowhere ):

It seems random, but sometimes immediately after eating I will feel really ill and can’t leave the bathroom. I get nauseous, burp a lot, stomach hurts, etc. I also feel better after a while if I’m laying down

definitely sounds like a GI issue, not an allergy. the burping and laying down parts especially. i know that POTS and EDS can cause these symptoms, but idk much else about GI stuff. i hope you’re able to find relief! hopefully you can get medical care to find the cause

Thank you, I really appreciate your input! I’ve been told I have IBS by my gastro, but I know that isn’t the case because some days I’m fine but other days I’m totally not. My pcp thinks I might have POTS, so I might make a follow up appt to get that talked about (:

too many doctors claim it’s IBS when they just don’t want to look into it. just bc an answer is hard to find and they’re not sure what to do, they completely blow patients off. my best friend (also has POTS) is dealing with something similar and was just told it’s non-specific IBS, but i think she has MCAS :/ best of luck to you!
