Hi :)!

I've been to countless visits to a gastro doctor, and have been totally lost for years. I get extremely bloated to where I can barely walk at outings (going to a store, a school event pre-covid, my friend's party) and usually have to leave early even when I'm excited to go to an event. I feel as if I experience bloating and bm issues really often. I remember this problem starting when I was around 12, so it's been ongoing for years. This probably sounds stupid, but I get low grade fevers during "flare ups" when my stomach is really bad for about a week. I've never been diagnosed with anything, but I know for a fact I've always had pretty bad social anxiety and just anxiety in general.

I've done blood tests, stool tests, ultrasounds, seen an allergist, tests for bacteria like h pylori...yet everything is normal. It's good to not have a condition, but pretty upsetting to not have answers besides anxiety. These "flare ups" I've been getting were not happening as often until about a month after my dad died last summer. Since then, maybe about for a week every month or two months, I've been in poor health with the symptoms described above. Before his passing, I would rarely get this bad.

Some knowledge: I'm female, a teen, and don't do drugs/drink. Also, no, this is not just PMS.

I'm just looking to see if anyone has experienced anything similar to this since I feel incredibly alone. It really sucks having to leave places early when I'm having fun while my friends are all fine. None of my friends have this problem, and I feel like I'm the only one struggling with this sometimes. Does anyone else have this problem? Have you had worsened anxiety for a long time after a loved one's passing?

Thanks :)!
