What I don't understand is why they are not focusing on where the blood is coming from.  If you find the source, then you have a starting point.  That is too unusual! Have they gotten a sample of the blood and tested it for and viruses or abnormal cells?

I am assuming everything was done, they took samples of everything! I have no idea. It is very unusual.. but they keep saying they cant find anything.. but I know its soemthing.. I dont feel right, and obviously there is soemthing going on. Im tired of it, I just cant do it anymore! I dont know where to go from here!!

I wish I had the magic wand to help you, or at least be a patholigist.  Sometimes, the doctors don't do everything. I remember having to ask my doctor for biopsy on a lump under my arm.  He reluctanly aggreed and later found out that I had abnormal cells and the lump had to be removed along with some of the surrounding tissues.   So, I do research and ask a lot of questions.  There has to be some kind of answer for you.  Maybe one of the other readers will come accross something. I know I will be doing research. God luck to you.

yes it was tested.. apparently Its fine.. I dont live in the US? I live in Canada.

I so hope you get some help and releif soon, I am so sorry your having to live life like this. Try to hang in there and just keep looking for a doctor that will get serious and get to the bottom of your sickness. Good luck

I think she's in Canada.  lol

hmm.  well, it's certainly NOT normal to have blood in your vomit!!   I feel your pain and frustration.   I went ten years not knowing what was wrong with me!  10!  and I am still not great, but am better.   How is your appendix???   So when they told you nothing was wrong did you ask them, 'then WHY am i vomiting blood and why can't i have a BM??"..  I would be yelling at them.  lol

sorry..  :( 

I hope you find answers.   I think sometimes YOU have to tell the dr's what YOU think is wrong and demand they help you.  I am not sure how it is in Canada, but I assume dr's are the same all around. 

When it comes to vitamin D, what doctors consider "normal" usually turns out to be "low." Your beautiful country of Canada happens to have one of the leading vitamin D researchers, Dr. Reinhold Vieth at the University of Toronto, and all doctors up there should be getting on board with the following vitamin D levels: the minimal optimal range is 40-60 ng/ml (for Canada, this is 100-150 nmol/L).  But unless your level is 50 ng/ml (125 nmol/L) and above, you will have no reserves for your body to rely on, so researchers believe that the optimal range really should be 50-80 ng/ml.  And, researchers have stated that a level of 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L) is everyone should strive for (men and women) to virtually eradicate the risk of breast cancer. In case you are concerned about toxicity, toxicity starts at 150-200 ng/ml (375-500 nmol/L). My advice is to check your level again, and follow your vitamin D leader, Dr. Vieth. I would email him if you have questions. Maybe he could put you in contact with a good doctor who understands vitamin D. Hope you get better soon. p.s. my mom is from a small town outside of Saskatoon. I spent a summer there on the farm. Beautiful, incredible, but good heavens the mosquitoes were as big as airplanes. If vitamin D deficiency doesn't get you, the mosquitoes will. :-)

I'd call your doctor right away....IMO it sounds from what you say a bowel obstruction, or something wrong with your intestines.

Besides vitamin D, have you had an endoscope to check for an ulcer? Another reader talked about this, and it turned out to be a bleeding ulcer. Ulcers are caused by a bacterial infection and treatable.  It took quite a number of tests and pain before the person's doctor did the endoscopy, so if they haven't done one on you yet, it's probably a good idea to ask your doctor about it.  And, vitamin D fights infections.  Don't forget to get it tested.  Canadians have one of the highest deficiency rates. Anyone north of the latitude of 34 degrees is most at risk.  You are one of the countries at highest risk.

Ok, I had a geographical senior moment and am re-posting: Did you ever get a vitamin D test?  I'll bet that's one test your doctor missed, and it's an important one.  It's called a 25(OH)D test.  Oh my gosh, Newfoundland??  You're in one of the highest vitamin D deficiency areas in CANADA.  Get it tested now!!  See info on vitamin D on my profile.

although, if i recall .. it's been decades!.. my friend has the other issues re BM's.  

also.  did they check your appendix?  mine was inflamed off and on for a decade!   that can cause vomitting and issues with digestion!

Have them run the following:

Gall Bladder Ultrasound

Enzyme tests for the Appendix -- Also elevation of White blood cells.

MRI/CT on your side with / with out contrast

FULL CBC (complete blood cound)

FULL VITAMIN SCAN

Get a notebook and start journaling your health -- day by day list the symptoms, doc appointments, get full copies of ALL tests and medical records.

Have them run tests on your stool samples (gastro guy can do this)

Get an upper and lower GI (onoscopy/ colonoscopy).

ALSO LOSE the quacks and get a 2nd opinion and get a referral to the Gastroenterologist. << research to get a good one in your area.

#1 - Lose the Quack Doc... Schedule an appointment with a new primary and also 

#2  - Get familair with a Gastroenterologist.

#3 - Have these two docs work together to find you the answer.

Run the following tests immediately

Appencitis testing -- there is an enzyme that throws off the answer

Have an MRI/ CT scan done of your abdomen with and without contrast

CBC (Complete blood counts) AND full Vitamin Scan (never hurts to get this along with the reg counts).  Should be done during a normal physical anyway but of course never is.

Have an ultrasound done of your gall bladder and if they can the appendix (although on that area am unsure what it would show for the appendix).

They can remove the appendix and gall bladder if both are an issue via laproscopy.  Very quick painless procedure and you don' t need either.

Let us know what you find out :)

I waited for years to come up with the answer to that problem:  I had to run into a doctor who actually cared and believed me.  If that hadn't happened, if I hadn't met my wonderful "Dr. O" I'd still be in massive pain, sleeping my life away as I tried to avoid the pain.
