I have had a lot going on recently, none of which I think is diet related. I don't want to share all of them but here goes. The GP has said they could point towards IBD, though it would be relatively mild for IBD based off my research.
Low Folate - Post supplementation is fine however this can be a sign of IBD
Calprotectin - Had the Campylobacter infection, Calprotectin was through the roof and do still have regular diarrhoea, great fun with running. Note studies have shown a max calprotectin score of 1200 for infections, my score was 1700.
Fatigue - I am falling asleep during the day, I will sit on the sofa during my lunch break or to watch TV and then wake up an hour later. I also have less energy and enthusiasm for my hobbies and am struggling to concentrate on complex tasks.
Skin - I have patches of dry and itchy skin. The worst is under my left eye, it is red, sore and getting gradually worse. There is also a patch that comes and goes between 2 of my fingers.
Muscle Cramping - I take an electrolyte supplement for running, if I forget to take this on a single day I will get cramping in my calf overnight.
Diarrhoea - I experience a loose bowel movement at least once or twice most days. It is generally in the evenings or early morning and comes shortly after some severe fatigue / tiredness and the feeling of nausea. Running, something I enjoy, is also a trigger.
Stomach Cramping - The Diarrhoea is often accompanied with stomach cramps, with pain being in the lower right hand side of my chest.
Yes I am speaking to doctors about all of this.
