Grade: 4
Started out as a severe respiratory illness for a few days and then progressed to nausea and stomach pain so severe I couldn't leave the sofa. Had extensive tests run and they were all inconclusive - not Crohn's disease thankfully but potentially some form of severe motility disorder brought on by the virus or whatever it was.
I have been on steroids, anti-spasmodics and anti-nausea tablets and am now off all except the latter two if my symptoms get severe. I have also started an elimination diet whereby I test all foods individually to see if they cause sensitivities. I am staying gluten free as that seems to have caused major issues and am still unsure about dairy....elimination diet continues...
