Well, I guess its not nicotine, cos ya smoke tobacco.

Steatorrhea? I guess ya doc wouldve figured it out if thats what it was.

What makes you think cutting gluten will help?

Today gluten free will cure darn near every thing.
I can't believe that I have clicked on and then actually read this thread.

No, now it's all "Keto" this and that. It's like a ketogenic diet where you don't eat enough carbs or even protein and it like, puts your body in a fat burning metabolic state. It does actually work, more or less, although I can't say what it does to your overall health. Seriously. Maybe it's fine.

It is a HUGE fad in the town I am now working in. I see parents depriving their kids of like, birthday cake, and I want to KILL them.

Stop being so darn lazy. EXERCISE ENOUGH and just watch what you eat and it's ALL gonna be fine (I am talking to the keto patients not the OP).

To the OP, I know it's a daunting list but I want to know the 101 things you were "allergic to as a child." I'm sort of beginning to wonder if this is a Munchausen by proxy situation, perpetuated into adulthood. And no, I'm not joking either. I ran into my first EVER Munchausen by proxy case after TWENTY YEARS in the field and it was incredibly depressing and the kid had some sort of DRAIN HOLE where her poop came out and guardian would lovingly "do that" for her and apparently she "puked and passed out" during the process. It may have been legit but guardian was just way too happy about it and talked my ear off the whole time about "what is next" to fix this kid. I am changing details but more or less...

I must say, I really wanted to take her home, take her off meds and like tell her she was fine. I couldn't.

The placebo effect can work in your favor.... Or in your disfavor. I'm just noting if your docs can't help perhaps a caring, informed mental health professional could. Is all.

There are lots of causes for your symptoms. Some are even legitimately psychological like pressure in your life such as school stress. Vaping would be low on my list. If you already switched back to smoking and the symptoms are the same then you can cross that one off the list. Nicotine may in fact be beneficial in inflammatory bowel disease symptoms (different from irritable bowel that goes by IBD and the two are sometimes confused).

Regardless, with this going on several weeks and no answers from your doctor a referral to a GI specialist is in order. If you want to stop vaping until then to see if there's any improvement there's no real harm other than the cigarette use in its place. Feel better.

Just when you think you've seen every possible thread there could ever be ..

Oh, I'm sure there will be another one to top this by the end of next week, if not sooner. At least this OP has legitimate symptoms that are unpleasant. It's not like vaping makes my teeth itch. Just wait for that one to pop up.
