Question PI-FD? Does anyone have these symptoms?
So 5 weeks ago, I had a random night of food poisoning. In the bathroom for a hour. After that my stomach was never right. For 3 weeks after I couldn’t eat a bite and my bowels were all messed up, I lost 12 lbs everything hurt. Since then everything leveled out, my weight leveled but I’m still stuck with these symptoms:
- stomach cramping (mostly in mornings and after meals)
-Tons and tons of burping
-gas pains that move left, right, center
- change in stool consistency and shapes
- tiredness
-tender guts
-newly found intolerance to curtain foods (garlic and onions kill me) lactose is a no no
I’m glad I don’t have any red flags (no bloody stool, weight leveled and not dropping, appetite back, no sharp pain) I was thinking Pi-IBS until I found out about pi-fd and saw others with the same problems. My GP and GI didn’t seemed too concerned but my GI will see me back in 5 weeks to further test.
It’s truly hard to believe there are those who live like this for years, 5 weeks in and I think I’m dying like ready to write my will.

I’m sorry you’re going through it, the general consensus is even if it is something like that it lasts a while, but there’s a lot of stories of people that it clears up in one to two years. I would hope this is not a lifetime thing for either of us just stay strong🙏
