Why Is This Woman Experiencing Extreme Weight Loss?

[@groovypullet2337]

Jesus people she doesn't have Munchausen's. She's not an 'attention seeker' and her expressions and reaction aren't weird at all-at least not to anyone who has experienced a chronic, debilitating condition for some years. It takes over your life. You have to devote all your attention to it because it just won't f*ing let you go, so you try to keep same by taking control if it- you turn it into something you DO, not something you suffer. The problem is, it then becomes all you know and even something that you get to be an expert in- something that makes you feel a little bit special, even when you hate it. The thought of leaving that for normal life and trying to catch up on the years you lost being a 'regular person' is scary as all hell. I understood everything she said.

[@imbrakingthrough2152]

groovypullet . But she says it in other video- she’s never bin happier !!!! I think thats exactly what this is - she desperately wants attention- she even asked for a job on TV - how smart that is - free advertising

[@Julie86Mac]

She did not ask for a job. She said maybe I could get a job. That is a *BIG* difference. Don't manipulate what she said for your personal gratification. That's so rude.

[@gretebremseth1622]

Thank you! Finally somebody sane! People are so judgemental!

[@steph8703]

Her reactions etc dont have anything to do with a debilitating disease. U cant say that's why she's doing that cus many others with serious diseases dont act like her. They are not synonymous

[@lozzylols]

As some who has been ill for 23 years if someone said tomorrow we can cure you with one tablet, I would be terrified. It's not that I haven't always dreamt of that life, it's the thought of starting afresh again, it's adjusting to a new way of living, of not having your health as an excuse, it's suddenly being thrown into the real world and it's a scary place. It did seem an odd reaction but when you truly look at it this poor woman is scared of having to adjust and enter the big real world again!

[@TeriLaFaye]

Is there an update on her condition? I pray she finds the answers she needs to get her health back.

[@mrradiorotta]

People who are shocked at her reaction obviously don't know what it feel like to hop from one doctor to another desperately trying to fix a big problem and never getting a solution. It's so frustrating and debilitating. It takes a toll on you... *I know* ...

[@dusklvr]

I knew she would have e. coli! I had the same scary issue 9 years ago. Went from 120lbs to 89lbs in 3 months with chronic diarrhea, major IBS pain, fatigue, deficiencies, etc. Had parasites and bacteria. Took years to gain weight and feel better. Probiotic-rich food or supplements are crucial, especially now that many types of bacteria are becoming antibiotic resistant.

[@LisaMichele]

gcw I had a really similar experience with a bacterial infection that lasted for over a year. Probiotics were crucial in getting better and I'm about 90% healed now. Glad you got through it!

[@marklavern8855]

Everyone has ecoli in the gut I’d be looking at candida fungus

[@YesPlease1]

Mark Hibs yes my guess while watching this was SIBO. It can cause stomach ulcers, malabsorption especially of fat, and fat-soluble vitamins, anxiety and depression, brain fog and memory loss (fat is important for the myelin sheath of nerves, insulation kinda like the plastic or rubber coating around metal wires). I experienced all this and am experiencing it again, the relapse rates are very high. It's a tough problem to solve

[@adriandaniels1]

I had a feeling it was something of that nature. I thought worms first.

[@Rinsuki]

Depends on if it's a wonky strain. Sadly, gut bacteria gets messed up with antibiotics. They just don't grow or look the same. You have natural flora everywhere on your body that pretty much suffers due to all the crazy chemicals used. Your flora actually shifts the longer you stay in hospital too.

I had a severe weight loss and wasting when I was 23yrs though I never got a clear diagnosis I was told I had gallbladder issues which affected my pancreas.. I weighed just 65lbs and still working as a dance and drama teacher. I was like a dead man walking. I don’t know how I survived! Sheer grit and determination! I couldn’t absorb nutrients from the food I was eating, I was either vomiting or it went through me at warp speed. It took me two years to gain back a healthy weight, especially as I could not tolerate any fats. No surprises I developed acute pancreatitis later.

I suffered a huge weight lose in 2012. I was tested & was told I took an antibiotic that wiped out all my good antibodies. I was put on medication for 10 days. The diarrhea finally diminished, but even though I have gained some of the weight back, my face hasn't resumed back to normal. I still look like what my ex family members say "a Druggie" I feel embarrassed to be seen & I no longer take pictures of myself. I also lost most of my fat in my breasts that hasn't returned either. Going from a full almost D cup to a B cup basically loose saggy skin, I refuse to be with aman. I have tuned out to wanting to be in a relationship. I was 135 lbs & went down to 97 lbs. Right now I am up to 121 lbs, but still feel horrible & unhealthy. I eat so much, my Mom says she's surprised that I don't weigh more than I do. I had my gall bladder removed in 2000 & I only eat healthy foods. I have bad acid reflux so I don't eat/drink anything acidic. Don't know what else to do.

Alluim I walk as much as I can. On 1/6/08 I fell getting out of my Jeep at a Gas station. My left toes touched the ground & I went straight down on my butt. I ended up with 5 Herniated Discs in my neck & 2 Bulging Discs in my Lower back. I can't run, walk more than 4 blocks, lift objects more than 15 Lbs, I can't Vacuum more than 10 Mins, sweep, Shovel Snow, stand sit for more than 10-15 Mins without being in excruciating pain. I go to PT 2 times a week & I walk there to get exercise but after I return home I am in more pain than I was before I went. In 2011 I had 3 Discs in my neck removed & a plate was screwed in. I had Radio Frequency Ablasion done on my R Side of my neck in 2013 & it screwed my nerves up worse than before. I get horrific migraines at least 4-8 a month. My L Hip pops when I walk & if I twist while walking it with shoot a horrific pain up into my Lower Back & down into my R Thigh. It is so frustrating & depressing that some days I don't know what or how I will make it through the day. I am only 50 yrs old & feel like I am 90.

[@kimberlystaples1889]

Alluim Afraid it doesn't work that way. Skin only has so much elasticity, and the older you get, the less you have. I won't say how much weight I've lost with IBS-D, but its embarrassing.

I have been sick with incurable autoimmune disorders for my entire life. It has only worsened in the last 20+ years. I am 48 years old and home bound except to see doctors. I was disabled at 28 years old. No quality of life for 18 years. So, if all of a sudden I was cured of everything I had, I would be fearful to of what to do in life especially, at my age. I haven't driven in 3+ years and being around a lot of people make more anxious than I already am. Even though she has been very ill for a shorter length of time, I get it. She isolated herself, just like I have. Maybe her smiling and the way she was acting was per nervousness about being there in front of an audience. Don't be so quick to judge especially, if you have never been ill for a long time and seen doctor after doctor and not any one of them really want to take you on cause they can't just guess what is wrong with you, which is exactly what happened to me for over 10 years. Some doctors strung me along for years because they didn't know what was wrong with me but, never had the guts to tell me so I could move on. Obviously, the same happened to her. Sometimes, someone could look at me and never see me as sick but, they had no idea what was going on with me on the inside, like chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, and psoriasis and whelts all over my body because I would hide it.

God I hate how much I relate to this. For over a year I’ve lived with a chronic GI illness that no doctor I’ve seen can figure out. Every one I go to looks at my records and says “well, they’ve done every test I thought of, and they’re negative, so I can’t help you.” Every damn day I’m nauseous, my whole body is in pain, I’m isolated from everyone and everything I’ve ever enjoyed, I’m not taking care of myself, and I’m always either in a state of misery or complete panic, as I live with a phobia of vomiting alongside a GI illness (literally the worst fucking thing that could happen to someone with that phobia.) I’ve done everything the doctors have told me to, and it’s made nothing better; perhaps it’s made things worse. I know exactly how she feels. Your illness takes away everything you’ve ever loved, and completely consumes your life to the point where it becomes all you know. Every day I just sit and wish for it to go away, so I can finally have my fucking life back. I’ve been tortured long enough. It’d be easier to be dead, because I don’t think this illness will ever set me free.

I went down to 71 lbs when i had Lyme. People thought I was anorexic. Stay on top of the colonics! I actually had to fast on water and get vitamin ivs while my tissue in my intestines healed and repaired itself. I gained 15 lbs instantly after it only took two months after a fast. Never give up if you’re going down. Doctors don’t always know the answers just listen to your bod as much as you can❤️💜

[@katiie7]

The worst thing you can do is eat all the time. I was aswell because i was so hungry because I wasn’t absorbing anything. Keep flushing things out and stick to liquids for months.

Rοsε Dαωsοn if you think fasting is dangerous, then it looks like you have no knowledge about fasting. I have seen paralysis reversed thru extended fasting with my own eyes! Fasting somehow changes body chemistry and heals damages anywhere in the body so it can function more properly. Im refering to water fast not any other fast. Fasting is like shutting down to upgrade. I was like, "omg" when I saw the paralyzed person started walking again and her voice and breathing became stronger. She no longer needed to be on oxygen tube after fasting for a month! That Is right! God is powerful and our bodies belong to God! We can heal thru fasting.

This could also be me misunderstanding her efforts to pretend to be "okay" when she doesn't feel okay, especially since she's had to do this for years. But still. I can't figure out what it is that doesn't feel right here. :/

[@Namini11]

[@MissNebulosity]

Do you think they evaluated her to rule out anorexia?

[@femylafi]

It is because she is embarrassed and has been made to feel invalidated by doctors who could find nothing wrong... so basically claimed it was all in her head, or related to mental health. Which is what doctors who are petty and self driven do.... Doctors who really love their job, will keep working with the patient, and not make invalid assumptions just because they cant find shit. She is not socially comfortable, and as part of her free treatment she has to go on live TV, she is not comfortable and embarrassed. I think its so obvious, and to me normal of someone is her position. Did you hear what she said? She has the runs.... which comes without warning at any time, many times a day. She likely has a pad on in case she shits herself. She is on live TV. My face would look like that too.. ! Just saying..100!

Both are real medical conditions but unfortunately there is a lot of stigmatization that anorexia "is all in your head" and with IBS "just a nice way for us to say we acknowledge you are sick." This is changing with the new generation of physicians as we learn more of the science behind these illnesses. There used to be a lack of understanding of the molecular basis with mental health. Now with science backing, there is progressive therapies and understanding. I would hope the nutritionist looked back and caught that knowing she misspoke - in the end I believe she would acknowledge they are true conditions and did not mean to present it the way she did ( I hope (: )

Just because she puts herself out there on the internet doesn’t mean she’s promoting her body. And if you have an issue with being influenced by her, don’t watch her videos. Simple as that. If a woman was severely obese and she made videos, is she promoting the way she keeps her body? Why is it not okay when a skinny girl does it? At the end of the day, no, it really isn’t your business at all about what Eugenia’s body looks like.

She has a mitochondrial disease. She needs genetic testing done. MNGIE (mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephylomyopathy). A rare autosomal recessive disorder. My friend has it, and she was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, because of her pancreatic enzymes, it took 2-3 years for doctors in Australia and Croatia to figure it out.

She’s not saying that. What she’s saying that this condition that she has is more than just an eating disorder it’s a a cellular level. This woman bodily functions aren’t working normal. Eating disorders is a physiological disorder and due the lack of nutrition it turns into a medical condition.

[@idk-ch7hj]

‘Undeniably a real medical disorder’ obviously someone wasn’t listening.

[@redlilwitchy6088]

3:46 This question is so real for ppl with chronic and debilitating illness. We have been alone, misunderstood and isolated so long.

[@ezezem8663]

They've basically told the poor lady whats happening to her...her expressions: no shit Sherlocke!

[@annettecain446]

I'm so glad that medicine has advanced to where they can help her. My older sister was born in 1959, couldn't absorb nutrients properly, she passed away at 28 days old. She was a pretty, fullterm baby.

[@ashleyjackson6752]

Sorry for your lost of your older sister

[@deeprollingriver5820]

She actually looks like she weighs the same as most Hollywood actresses

[@lizcrossland892]

She needs to be put on Creon - a pancreatic enzyme which helps digestion of food, and helps with malabsorption. I have had the same condition here in the UK, but once I was prescribed that, I put on weight and absorbed the essential nutrients to sustain a healthy weight, and issues with diarrohea also disappeared.

[@Blue_Azure101]

There was a time my aunt had similar problems and it turned out she had a dirty refrigerator water filter which she didn’t change since she got it. After pulling it out, it smelled like rotten eggs and had a moldy film on the gasket.

[@mjt11860]

that's a very good idea. sometimes the answer is simple, but hidden from us.

[@kayray1111]

That's gross

[@linoxy]

Yeah, it can also be mold in her house she might not be aware of. Even leaky gas can cause some severe health problems.

[@thomasholman5098]

How is the results? I need to find the conclusion.

[@tashieschimchim6791]

IBS is real. I just want to say that. I was happy before I started having issues. I was losing weight, feeling good, and then I got food poisoning and my stomach has never been the same. I have sports of rapid weight gain and loss, terrible spasms and sharp pains that come out of nowhere. Until recently I lived my life just like her with no hope. I go nowhere, I do nothing and I feel terrible. I cut out all triggers and focused on mainly plant-based foods and found that my body is not digesting the food at all. I've talked to doctors about it with no clear results. I started taking IBguard and Vitamin B12 supplements and I've seen my poop return to normal for the first time in 3 years. My weight is lowering down on its own, no exercise, I've been tested, and my blood came back normal. It's like my body is slowly resetting. But the pain is still present. The minute I forget the pills, it goes back to immense pain and diarrhea. You can't tell me that it's all in my head. There isn't enough thought in the world to tell my stomach to relax when having a flare up

[@deenugent473]

She is a very attractive lady! I hope she finds a cure for her problem soon.

[@imbrakingthrough2152]

Derrick Nguyen .. cure in her head more like

[@traceydelfs2657]

My theory, she contracted a food borne illness in the beginning that went un treated and unidentified, it ran rampant and has damaged her vital organs, not allowing her body to function and absorb nutrients normally. Now with time it is not only physical but psychosomatic. Solved.

[@Sarah-xw2ff]

Yes, I was sick for years before I went to a good specialist that gave me the right antibiotics. I had a campylobacter bacteria infection. The most common food poisoning. Much like e coli. It took me 6 months to feel normal and not have any digestive pain after the antibiotics.

[@janataylor8351]

So, where is she now and how is her health? Please update us. I hope you could've helped her

[@2Bdiscovered]

THAT INDIAN DOCTOR IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS...THOSE EYES! WOW.

[@mjt11860]

i know. love the combination.

[@MrSandwichk]

shes chinese

[@hopeherring1567]

I have suffered with similar symptoms over the last 4 years. I went down to 91 lb from 140. My diagnosis was serotonin syndrome and I developed Sjogren's syndrome. I am now on the mend. 150-lb strong

[@jacquipower2619]

This girls reactions

[@Ai-Sure]

I feel so bad for her hope they helped/ still helping or can help her get better!

[@Deadtrees15]

She is so beautiful 😭

[@iniakalitoni3405]

I mean I don't blame her. Just imagine doing thousands of tests and receiving over 3000 test results with no solution. It just wears out your hope for hearing a positive feedback!

[@CristianaCatólica]

GOD BLESS U.. WISH U ALL THE BEST BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@ManishSingh2k]

So, did she get better?

[@dn744]

This is sad. I have medical problems that started in 2011 and have only just been worked out by a medical mal practice. I was 96kg and now hover around 64kg. Also needing parts removed from intestine and colon. Life changing, but if had been spotted at the Time, could have been fixed by keyhole surgery. Next week I get cut from ribs to bum and will need complete change of life style. I am taking legal action. But I made £1600 per week before this. Years not working took it all. I could have paid private at first if knew it would end up this long. No money will solve the mental mess it makes you. She has a long fight, but with help she will bloom.

[@mjt11860]

that's drastic! i would get a 2nd opinion before i would ever let someone butcher me like that. i would consult a good integrative dr 1st, to c if something much less drastic is needed. it may not b too late. seriously.

[@ginaloverofangels]

I pray we will know how this turns out for this lovely young woman. Please post follow up.

[@khanpukhtun1458]

She's still beautiful

[@motivate4change1]

This sounds exactly like how I feel while living for 3 decades with "Non24" and chronic muscle and tendon pain...these disorders ARE my life and they control my life...I want to befriend and support this woman so badly, so, if u see this, please message me so we can begin a support system for each other!! Thank u for your honesty!!

[@billoatmeal6458]

It could be lupus.

[@bimini99]

Any updates on this story ?

[@bl00dhoney]

I wonder how she makes an income since she -doesn't- can't work

[@801DREADLOCKS]

Social security disability

[@bcpr9812]

Maybe she paid into a private benefits plan through her old job, which included long-term disability, and she qualified for that.

[@myway690]

disability...? shes sick.

[@Tricendo]

Finacialy helped from family too maybe

[@MrSlimpickenz]

Tax payers like me support her I’m sure.

[@devananddhanrajcardmagicia7048]

I had a friend who had something like this and couldn't find the cure then one day he went to an old man who rubbed his belly, he had something called Nara (Caribbean) term. It's caused by lifting heavy objects or just a strain and has all her symptoms they usually rub your belly a certain way and put everything back in place he did that and all this Diarrhea belly pains ended and he's all good now. Doctors didn't have a clue what was going onn they wanted him to do a colonoscopy

[@Jesusavesandloves]

She’s beautiful 😍

[@robertj6523]

I am so sad for her hope she gets better she is so stunning and needs to hear that she is beautiful

[@imbrakingthrough2152]

Robert J . She got what she was seeking

[@pettyx008]

Would you give her your babies ? Setting aside the poop issue.

[@dkfleshman8271]

She may have SIBO and/or C. Diff. She has all the symptoms of both. They needed to do a more comprehensive stool analysis on her.

[@themusicalpilot1382]

Shes such a beautiful woman. I sincerely hope that she gets better

[@de-vine2168]

I definitely understand. I have a rare auto immune called Hypo-parathyroidism and the sheer hell I went thru was unbelievable. Right now though I'm taking a synthetic hormone called Forteo which has saved my life.

[@melissabarajas3263]

De -Vine auto immune diseases are so horrible I have Graves’ disease and being initially diagnosed like my life was hell! I’m glad you’re better!

[@ichhabeeinenkater4549]

De-Vine and Melissa Barajas: I can understand both of you soooo much... After many months of horrible symptoms I got the diagnosis Hashimoto's, also an autoimmune disease. @ De-Vine: Is your hypoparathyroidsm a side effect of a thyroidectomy? (Usually the parathyroid glands should not be violated.) Or is it an effect of an autoimmune process which destroys the parathyroid? @ Melissa Barajas: I hope you don't have to struggle also with endocrine orbitopathy like many other Graves' disease patients... Did you have a radio iodine therapy? I wish both of you (and of course the brave woman in this documentation) all the best.

[@vickyham2013]

I had graves disease with hyper parathyroidism, I was near death no joke! Had my thyroid removed along with 2 parathyroid glands and feel so much better. Im on levothyroxine for the rest of my life. I still have issues with fatigue, muscle weakness and still have problems with memory but feel much better than I did

[@DestinyC1020]

Wow... How on earth did she go through over 100 doctors and they weren't able to find these very clear warning signs, but yet these two doctors here were able to do a few tests on her and found out things that she had never even heard she had before! WOW.

[@mz.toomuch2578]

always test your thyroid... but I really think she has a bad stomach bug

[@aandre311]

it would show in the stool test so no, its either food allergy/celiac disease, hyperthyroidism, Chagas, or Munchausen.

[@bunny.elixir]

lol its not a stomach bug she's MAL ABSORBED that means her gi tract is clogged up and cant absorb food anymore

[@calyx12397]

Is there any update????

[@sallie.]

That woman is soo beautiful

[@AMentorway4u]

She is beautiful. Hope it works out for her and that she finds peace and help.

[@AutumnHarvest1]

What about her having Celiac disease or food allergies? What about worms or intestinal parasites?

[@Candicedickinsonllc]

she’s had 3000 im sure obvious test you’ve mentioned have been done

[@sarahalvarez-singer8605]

Gosh she’s pretty and looks good. It shows you never know if someone is sick. Fhedclook amazing if she were healthy but just being healthy is the key

[@jenjay424]

Something's off with her reactions

[@laurenhills239]

I think I have this. Last month every time I eat something my stomach would hurt so much. I’ve lost 26 pounds in one month and now I’m 108 pounds and I’m 5’7. So I’m underweight and I’m still loosing weight daily, even though I have to constantly eat.

[@mazzystard]

malabsorption could be caused by the villi in her stomach being damaged. She could be allergic to wheat

[@aimeeelephant15]

civilserpent I’m sure they’ve done allergy testing

[@mazzystard]

doctors don't know shit about allergies. Took me 10 years to self diagnose a wheat intolerance.

[@Crispr00]

I’m pretty sure they know...everything about her

[@makenziekuziw1999]

It would be testing her blood for gluten levels so actually no it is NOT AN ALLERGY TEST a wheat allergy and celiac disease are two completely different things. I was diagnosed at 12 with celiacs disease and that wast until i was a level 2 iron and the dumbass doctors couldnt figure out why i wasnt absorbing iron. I also never had a growthspert. I know someone who is physically allergic to wheat, as in her whole body swells up like a peanut allergy. You would know if you were “allergic” if anything it would be celiacs disease. And i find that hard to believe because they found Ecoli in her stool samples.

[@makenziekuziw1999]

An “allergy” is not what diminishes the villi. ONLY CELIACS DISEASE DIMINISHES THE VILLI IN THE INTESTINES. Jeez people do your research before making comments. Don’t even try to contradict anything I have said, I know for a fact I am right.

[@anushkabhattacharjee4628]

I'll pray for you. You'll definitely recover.

[@lianam7016]

Looks like in America if you want to really know what is going on with you, you need to go to one off his shows. I’m from a third world country and I have never ever seen so many mediocre doctors in my life.

[@Dr_Nutrition]

Perciliana Munford they are the worst here!

[@albundyhun]

Where are you from? I am from third world/medieval/fascist Hungary, here the medical system is fucked, over there in the USA they try at least, and they seem to know more.

[@laurenclark1480]

My BMI is 0. I can't get help. Feel like I'm losing battle. I really need help. What was cause?
