Hi. I need some advice for my boyfriends health issues that doesn't seem to go away.
He is 30 years old and skinny with high metabolism. He eats 3-4 times more than me daily and he keeps loosing weight. His current weight is 67kg, and he's 182cm tall.
He's been struggeling with nausea, dizziness, headaches, bad breath and vomiting for the past 5-6 years.
He's has had a really bad diet until about 1 year ago, when I convinced him to start eating more Peaty. Before that, he drank beer daily, he used extremely strong snus (tobacco under the lip) daily - arround 25 snus each day with really high amounts of nicotine, lots of PUFA, one bread daily, no vegetables, almost no fruit, no juice, very little milk etc. A diet mostly consisting of grains, beer and cheap meat.
He used to have trouble with nausea, headaches, dizziness and vomiting periodically very often. Now it is much more rare, but it's still quite often, every 2-3 months now.
The same things are happening each time; He starts to feel off, less energy, bad mood, terrible breath (exact same breath each time!), headaches, dizziness, very bad nausea and excess vomiting. Reflux is also a problem, especially during this time. It usually lasts for weeks..
I convinced him to go to his doctor 3-4 months ago when it got worse again. He had gastroscopy, along with blood tests that I guess was OK since he didn't get any feedback from the doctor regarding them, just that everything looked normal. The gastroscopy detected a small ulcer, and they blamed everything on this small ulcer, gave him somac and end of story..
His symptoms did not improve, as expected. But I did not manage to get him to contact his doctor again.. He is never taken seriously and he never gets any actual help, and he doesn't see the point of going back. The ulcer seemed to go away, as the symptoms disappeared for a while (2-3 months), but they returned this week.
I have convinced him to almost quit snus, and he's using a milder one now. Beers only a couple of times a month - just a few, he eats lots of fruits, veggies, mainly organic foods, good quality meats, almost entirely quit PUFAS, drinking milk every day, lots of cheese, gelatin/collagen often, broth/oxtail soup at least once a week, eating less bread and gluten, seafood once a week, etc. He also supplements tocovit, retinil, progesterone, vit K2, vit D, energin/niacinamide, but not often enough I guess, he's very forgetful.
He's not taken any covid vaccines.
The improved diet is helping, but not enough. We are pregnant and this is a huge problem, and we really need to find a solution before the little one arrives.
He just got a new doctor and I will try to convince him to see her, but the Norwegian healthcare system really sucks, so I doubt she will check him properly.
Any good tips? I really don't know how to help him, any tips and help is very much appreciated!
