I've Been Suffering From Constant Hunger For Past Many Months
I've been suffering from constant hunger for past many months with bloating and gas, and abdominal discomfort...not much a pain..but always gnawing hungry pangs even 1 hr after I eat.or sometimes when i finished a meal..the gnawing hunger feeling is there. And i have no choice but to eat again every 1 hr and it's making me gain weight. My motion is once day...loose stool as I'm taking fibre drink with probiotics every morning.
I also take probiotics every morning (before bfast) and night (before bed)...2 capsules each time / 4 billion cfu per day. Did endoscopy and it's negative for h.pylori. My gallbladder, pancreas and livers are fine. All the doctors kept putting me on pantoprazole, nexium, motiliium and meteospasyml...the gnawing hunger and bloating comes..if its here..will remains for weeks..then relieve for few days..then come back again.
Pls help...is this a sign for candida overgrowth or just IBS etc? Im getting frustrated...one health practitioner asked me to try mastic gum and take supplements for candida overgrowth..
