hello, my name's Chucky and i decided to join this forum to seek some help and possibly advice. i'm 20 years old and i developed this wierd gastrointestinal disorder that has caused sort of a crisis in my life. its a food intolerance realted issue which i thought i would never experience in my life. last year at this time i was consuming everything..i wasn't intolerant to dairy or wheat or anything like that. sure i ate out with my buddies at mcdonalds' every now and then but who doesnt.

basically my problem is like this: about 8-10 months i began experiencing the common stomach pains that ppl usually feel when their system can't handle a particular group of food. my anus began to mildly itch (it sounds comical but it sucks when it happens) every so often but i made nothing of it. so i continued with my diet..keeping in mind i never smoked and rarely drank. i didn't visit a doctor until about 3 months ago and i've had a bunch of tests done including a gastroscopy and all the doctors diagnosed is that i could possibly have pinworms and to lay off dairy, wheat and that kind of stuff. i completely failed to tell them whats really been bugging me, not the stomach pain i've been experiencing from so many different types of food, but the itching that comes along wiith it and the fact that i get kind of moist around my anus which is my biggest complaint. it comes a few hours after i consume what i shouldn't and it gets more moist after a day or two and it lasts for a few days depending on my diet. <---i honeslty do not know how common this sort of thing is. it can be pretty damn uncomfortable at times and i become highly susceptible to emitting gas. it develps from anything i shouldn't touch including vinegar and even oils. the only way to get rid of the stomach pain and the moisture/itch is giving up almost everything and eating nothing but vegetables, potatoes and unflavoured/unseasoned meats. i have an appointment with my doctor in a couple of weeks and i'm gonna tell him everything because it really is foolish to hide stuff just becuase of feelings of embarassment and that kind of stuff. i was wondering if anyone here has ever had something similar to me. my life has changed big time, i can't eat out with freinds anymore..there is no flavour in anything i touch. i make these wraps out of buckwheat and i can't even pour sallad dressings or any sauces inside becuase of the vinegar/oils/spices. this blows for me big time i'm hoping for things to change soon bucause i don't know how much more of this crap i can take.

i may be the only one with this problem and if i am, oh well, but if not i would love to hear someone tell me "hey i've had that problem..it will go away in no time"

at least i've learned never to hide anything no matter what the case is..failing to tell you're doctor the whole story is not gonna make anyone life easier
