Thanks for the response ! The only reason I really used to blame it as food poisoning is because I didn ' t have anything else to think it was . And , I have had actual vomitting with similar symptoms before , which combined with my usual other symptoms when my body is leaning to the diarrhea side , can make it seem similar to food poisoning . But , as I keep learning more , it ' s definitely not food poisoning and I ' m going to keep doing my research into it . I am making an appointment today , and hopefully within two weeks I ' ll be in to see the doctor . And , I will be asking for a referral to a gastroenterologist . It ' s frustrating to be stuck in this purgatory of not knowing , and I ' m going to organize everything before my appointment .
