Constant GI issues for almost 3 years

Female 24 / 55 kg / 158cm / vapes / history of endometriosis / appendicitis at 16

Hello doctors!

I have been almost constantly sick for the past 2 1/2 years, and I figured that I am so desperate that why not post there.

In June 2023, I went to a festival and got water poisoning there, like around 300 other people. It was very severe in my case, and I had to go home on the second day (i was supposed to stay for 6 days). Symptoms were: intense fatigue, nausea, throwing up 3/4 times a day, diarrhea up to 10 times a day. This lasted NON STOP for 4 weeks, I went to 3 doctors, took 2 different antibiotics, and got tests, there were no parasites in my stools.

September 2023, I was slightly better then again, nausea and vomiting several times a day for weeks, got diagnosed with gastritis through and endoscopy. Took PPIs for 6 months, it came back. I have seen 7 gastro specialists and they were unhelpful and blaming all my symptoms on endometriosis. I know it, it cannot get this bad from one day to another and stay that way…

Now, what are my daily symptoms still to this day:

- constant (I absolutely mean CONSTANT) nausea where I barely eat. It is worsened after meals, even after some salty crackers or just ginger tea.

- abdominal cramping, bottom right of the stomach mostly, sometimes spreading all through the lower stomach

- semi diarrhea constant (it’s not fully liquid, but it’s not normal poops either) with episodes of diarrhea that last up to a week and I can’t leave my house

- mucus in stool, when i wipe its often only mucus on the toilet paper

- blood in stool, again when i wipe i see it, never saw blood in the actual stool tho

If you have any idea what this may be, please tell me because it has gotten to the point that I don’t want to live like that anymore
