1) 3 weeks of constant bloating, burping (spontaneous and unrelated to time of day and food consumed), and terrible heartburn (as in the kind that wakes you up out of a sound sleep)
2) Upset stomach and loose bowels
3) Changes in appetite
4) Change in taste of food (usual foods taste weird and some foods taste super bland and need extra salt)
5) Bouts of extreme fatigue and total lack of energy/enthusiasm
6) Inability to stay asleep some nights, and general "light" sleep and not restful
7) Strange and clearly memorable dreams that feel real upon waking
8) Sharp mid-pelvic pain for a full day that was strong enough to make me cry when the intensity amped up, and did NOT feel like menstrual cramps
9) Worsened allergies
10) Lighter "late" period that stopped and started (and after three urine and one blood test, I AM NOT pregnant)

I am one miserable chica, and I just need this "fog" and discomfort to set better, and I want my energy back

I believe the gluten just builds up causing a disruption in the health that can manifest in many ways. your symptoms sound like it could be gluten related. its worth a try! there is a yummy gluten free bread called 'ezekial'. other sprouted breads are quite good- they aren't french baguettes but, if you like sandwiches that's a good choice. there are so many gluten free blogs out there. so, you might want to check that out and get inspired. there is a blog called elana's pantry and she has many great food ideas that are fun AND tasty for those who aren't gluten free that might be living with you ( children, husbands etc)

im not 100% gluten free however i have had strange attacks - terrible stomach cramps that had me convinced I had an ulcer, vertigo, skin disorders ( blister like acne ) stomach growling... now i keep my gluten intake to a minimum and ive had no digestive or skin issues.

You might want to look up Gluten-Free Girl's blog, and her books. I had them out of the library in March, and had to stop reading, because she was making me hungry for all sorts of food we can rarely afford.

I hope you find something that helps you. there's something right at the edge of my mind there, but I'm not getting it; maybe it will come to me later on. I remember when I started to feel very, very thirsty, and my mother was concerned about diabetes, but that's only happened twice.

I get the bloating, and I throw up most (but not all) food. I had three good days in which I barely consumed anything, but managed to keep down one glass of green smoothie blended up with Alive powder. Since that coincided with my lift in mood, I'm wondering if that's part of the key to my low moods: I'm not getting nearly enough nutrients.

--- all these could be from a stomach virus

5) Bouts of extreme fatigue and total lack of energy/enthusiasm

-most probab. cause of the loose bowls, can be very exausting

6) Inability to stay asleep some nights, and general "light" sleep and not restful
7) Strange and clearly memorable dreams that feel real upon waking

- when you are too tired or cant sleep right you have weird dreams, they come from discomfort or so i heard

) Sharp mid-pelvic pain for a full day that was strong enough to make me cry when the intensity amped up, and did NOT feel like menstrual cramps
9) Worsened allergies
10) Lighter "late" period that stopped and started (and after three urine and one blood test, [b]I AM NOT pregnant

the pains could be a virus,allergies as well

the fact that you didnt get your period yet is probably because of the stress/excitment of the past situation ..

I am extremely stressed, but I thought I was handling it as well as I could but this exhaustion is making me nuts...

You can have the bacteria treated and eradicated through a triply therapy or quadruple therapy antibiotic treatment that is pretty awful. It lasts 14 days.

Also IBS.

And yes,
could be allergies,
intolerances,
bacteria,
ulcers,

I agree, I've just been diagnosed with this. NSaids have caused stomach bleeding, anemia, vomiting, massive nausea, migraine, extreme flatulence...

It's easy enough to eliminate, so just try it...

the fatigue sounds like anemnia, so go to your GP and get a blood test, weight loss and runs and fatigure sounds to me like Celiacs disease. please do get tested asap

Did your digestive enzyme/aloe thing help?

I am back to having gas, but this time, feeling nauseous and lightheaded, with dull ache in forehead and fatigue.

Just want my body back, darn it, and I think I'll finally be calling my GP this week for that physical...Done being miserable, and done shifting symptoms...
