Please insist that you be tested for Celiac disease. Weight loss and acid reflux are red flags for Celiac disease, as are the slow bowel movements. Celiac disease is where you are allergic to gluten, which is a protein in certain grains like wheat. It damages your small intestine and causes malnutrition and a wide range of symptoms. One friend had ONLY heartburn as a symptom, and she had an advanced case.

When I workout I mainly lift weights so I expect that I should gain weight rather than loose it right? The weight loss has been pretty drastic. A couple of months ago I was about 240ish pounds. Then I dropped down to 225 pounds. At that time I wasnt really eating, as I didnt have an appetite. Then, I was making my self eat. I would eat a lot as well. My weight would go up to about 227 pounds then go right back to 225. I went to the doctor because of this and he tested me for diabetes.
You will want to see a Dr and follow their instructions to help calm down what you do have going on as you do not want it to increase to GERD.....
Do keep us posted on your progress.
After taking some higher doses of ibuphofen for a back injury, I started to have heartburn where my whole abdominal area from stomach to intestines felt on fire and I began having yellow stools. This has been going on for 2 months and I have lost 17 pounds. I was put on omeprazole which helped with the burning for a little while and then seemed to stop working. They tried ranitidine and it didn't work at all. Now I am on protonix 40mg twice a day.
There are many different causes of bleeding in the stool that can be associated with weight loss. In a younger person like yourself, one might consider infection or inflammatory conditions like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis, in addition to other causes. I think you made the right choice by seeing your doctor about it - some medical workup is definitely appropriate in this situation - I hope all works out well and you get to the bottom of it. Take care.
If you have cut down on fat and carbohydrates then this can explain the weight loss. There are many causes like worms in stool, depression, anorexia nervosa, AIDS, cancers especially colon cancers, drug abuse, infections and loss of appetite. Loss of appetite can again be due to certain medications, drug abuse, depression, AIDS, acute and chronic infections, cancers and hypothyroidism. Either you do not eat well or there is increased metabolism as in hyperthyroid states, HIV, cancer etc.
Late night snacking and poor sleep too can cause weight gain. Polycystic ovary (in women) too causes weight gain, hence has to be ruled out by an ultrasound of abdomen. Certain medications like antidepressants cause weight gain.
If all these causes are ruled out then you can start a diet and exercise program to lose weight. If you want to lose weight, then you must do it the scientific way for long term benefits, healthy glow, and a good physique and body.
t have to count calories you eliminate the foods that cause the weight gain, the spikes in insulin which causes the weight gain and amazingly you will lose weight.. you will have more energy and it will become easier to exercise and you gain that energy.. I'm down 60 lbs and am loving eating this way.. it has cured a bunch of health problems and it has helped a bunch of people(including my parents) get to where they want to be with their weight.
I am a 20-year-old female. I have been a vegetarian for 10 years and practice healthy, well-rounded eating habits. Just over two months ago, I started having either completely liquified stools or constipation--no happy medium. When I experience diarrhea, I have a bowel movement EVERY time I go to urinate. My stomach constantly feels cramped. I also have been experiencing nausea and heartburn pretty consistently by the end of the day.
I'm 39 weeks Monday and have only gained 9lbs during the pregnancy and doctors haven't yelled yet- then again my doctors suck sooooooo they might not even realize I've gained very little weight...
