Sorry this is off topic Kirsten, but have you ever been tested to see if you are allergic to Gluten? Apparantly they are seeing it more and more in young ladies these past few years. The name of it is called "Celiac Disease." It's a deficiency disease caused by faulty absorption of food in the intestines and characterized by diarrhea and malnutrition. In fact my daughter-in-law was diagnosed with it a few months ago. The reason I ask is because your symptoms are so similar to what hers are. The nausea, lactose intolerant, stomach pains and losing weight. She has to be on a Gluten free diet. There is a lot about it now on the computer if you care to look it up. I've also spoke with a woman whose daughter is allergic to Gluten and she said it took them almost 4 years before they got a proper diagnosis. It was only from her mother doing research on the computer and going to the doctor with her findings that her daughter got tested for it. I believe it's a special blood test that has to be done. Now the daughter is doing well. It took about 4-6 months before everything got under control. Her iron levels are back to normal and she is no longer lactose intolerant. There are many sites where you can get some really good recipes.
Now, the one thing that I would banish from my life is my bladder problem.
