The only thing that is notable here is that you lost 43 pounds. Did you need to lose 43 pounds are you overweight? You clearly said you were afraid to eat “for the longest time” – that’s why you lost 43 pounds, not because you have cancer.
The rest of it sounds ordinary, you’re just obsessing over it. Your body is alive, it makes noises. Gases move and bubble, food travels on through.
Sounds like you need to go to the psych instead of the doctor, you shouldn’t be assuming you have cancer or worrying about a bodily noise, or not eating. Go and see one and talk about your fears. That’s what they are there for.

Anything that might be advisable for a non-hypochondriac to do would not be good for you, because you would way overdo it and cause yourself harm. That’s what you’ve done to yourself already. You’re very young to freak yourself out like this. You have a chance to get over the problems you have caused yourself.
Ask your doctor to send you to a nutritionist; make certain your parents also send you to a psychologist because you need help to overcome your paranoias.

Anxiety can cause diarrhea and sudden need to “go”.
It can cause weight loss……….but 43 lbs??? !
Your fears can be settled down through the course of a couple of medical procedures and a few lab tests.
Ask your Dr if you could benefit from
a colonoscopy – a camera goes through the length of your colon, searching for abnormalities looking from the bottom end.
a scoping of your esophagus/ stomach – camera looks in your top end.
– don’t worry, they do it while you’re “asleep”, after you’ve cleaned out your intestinal tract with fluids.
You may be asked for blood tests, and possibly a stool sample.

Absolutely. High anxiety can cause diarrhea & loose stools.

As long as your doctor says you are OK, I think you can try to relax.
It seems like you are having a lot of anxiety associated with your concern for your health. Let your doctor do the diagnosing. It might help if you try doing some techniques to reduce your anxiety.
Breathe deeply and slowly
Relax all the muscles in your body
Let your mind go blank
I hope you will feel better soon.

calm down…… now…… anxiety does cause upset with your bowels, just as you have described. you could have something called irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but a lot of people get it and it is perfectly treatable. go to the docs and they will help. acid reflux is also a symptom of stress and anxiety so try and calm down. what do you think is making you so anxious. did you lose all that weight quickly, if so your body has to sort itself out and calm down too. don’t spend so much time thinking about your bodily functions, find something to do and do it. you say 6 docs have checked you out, do you think that the 6 of them may be right between them. if you really are that worried and can’t find any peace in this, then ask God to help you, ask , it can’t do any harm can it, and it may just do you a lot of good. ask Him to come into your life and sort you out … He will… then you wont have to worry anymore. x

I suffered from constipation and very severe diarrhea. I went to a gastroenterologist. I had a colonoscopy and other test. I was prescribed a medication, Colestid, which I took for about three years.
So, I used to feel the same way. Please take this into consideration. It worked for me, although I am not you.
I had overwhelming anxiety. It turned out to be my use of Splenda. Yup Splenda. How could something that taste so good, be so bad?
I like to say sucralose, not Splenda, because that is what Splenda is. And it is in a lot of stuff. Sadly, the package doesn’t have to say Splenda or diet to have sucralose in it. You have to read labels. So, you might be using it and don’t even know it!
Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it, including overwhelming anxiety, depression, mood swings, insomnia, gastrointestinal issues and more.
Go ahead, google: anxiety splenda or anxiety sucralose or insomnia splenda or insomnia sucralose
The slogan, “Made from sugar…” is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.
carbon monoxide – made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air

Hello,
I want to let you all in on a brand new search engine I have found. It’s still quite new but I have been using it for a week now and love it. I find the search terms it brings back are much better.
I suggest you search your website/favorite sites and see if you prefer it to Google or other big names search engines.
