Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / March 2007unexplained symptoms
I been having a bloated stomach for about a month and unexplained weight gain (about 5 to 8 pounds). I went to the doctor and she did an urinalysis. It showed I have moderate blood and protein in my urine, ran a culture, everything is fine. Also, my LDL has jumped from 107 to 122 in a year. I'm 42 female. They can't find anything wrong, but I feel like something is. I have been jogging everyday and eating a 1500 calorie diet and haven't lost a pound. Also been drinking tons of water. What could be some possible causes of this? They checked my thyroid and for diabetes, and everything checks out fine. > I been having a bloated stomach for about a month and unexplained > weight gain (about 5 to 8 pounds).

The fasting glucose test for diabetes fails to diagnose most diabetics until their disease is very advanced. I'd suggest getting a free blood glucose meter at dlife.com or buying a Walmart Relion meter and strips and testing according to this method: http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/Newly%20Diagnosed.htm If diabetes is your problem and protein is showing up in your urine, you're a well advanced diabetic. I've been diabetic for many years and my fasting glucose has never hit diagnostic numbers as of yet. If it's not high blood glucose, you need a thorough medical evaluation with any eye to infections. Susan I had terrible bloating several years ago, but I lost weight. Turns out I had too little stomach acid, and then it became a protein energy malnutrition issue, but also other problems emerged.
