Can you answer these questions to see if i need to worry?

Do you regularly ?
Feel sick
Heart Burn
Bloated
Low energy
Burping a lot
Intermittent anxiety
General cant be bothered, everything a struggle

I feel really nauseous at least a few times a week regularly, can go week or 2 feeling fine so its not constant but very regular.

I very rarely feel great and full of energy.

I am 38

Any thoughts?

Answers: 1) maybe once a week but not in a throw up way, in a wishy-washy anxiety-nausea way.

  1. & 3) no (but a lot of people do, also heart burn and nausea together could be bad acid reflux, see gp)

  2. low energy yes and I'm only 30 with 1 child and a full time job.

  3. burping a lot - no but goes hand in hand with the acid reflux, especially wet burp or eggy burps.

  4. intermittent anxiety/can't be bothered to do anything - yes but I suffer from anxiety and low mood, I don't think it's related to my physical health just mental health.

I'm not a doctor, but you sound like you have acid reflux? How is your diet? Fatty, unhealthy foods can cause reflux and add to feeling tired, lethargic and depressed.

I'm 38 and generally feel like crap but I'm anemic and I'm beginning to think I'm starting the menopause with the way my hormones are right now!!

Also sounds potentially like small intestinal bacterial overgrowth SIBO. Is your diet bad? Would you consider a probiotic / good bacteria food?

I think acid reflux too. Google GERD.

The nausea and general not feeling well is the most bothersome part of it.

Stomach often sore and bloated.

Feels like a hangover even if i havent drunk anything.

Its my christmas party tonight and I just cant be bothered - have zero zest for life!

I totally did. I had a trip to Holland and barret got loads of vitamins

Busy b, red iron ones in red box, probiotics, vitamin D. Got some berrocca as well. Started taking and slowly got my zest back. Unsure is psychological though!

I paid for a food intolerance test. Came back high intolerance to yeast, medium intolerance to cows milk. Cut them both out and my sleep improved overnight and I felt so much better in myself. Maybe your issue is food related ? Something doesn't work with your digestive system

Something digestive that causes deficiencies via malabsorption possibly?

Crohns, Coeliac or similar?
