Diet [rapid, unintended weight loss and ketoacidosis/feeling ill as hell]

[ChemicallyEnhanced]

Never tested positive for ketoacidosis [note: acidosis, NOT lipolysis] until 15 days ago but have off-and-on since then.
Feel like shit almost all the time. Like I ended up going to bed at 4pm yesterday and slept until 9pm tonight, with only occasional wakings to chug the water I keep next to my bed or to shit my guts out.
I've also gone from 122lbs to 111lbs on ~3000 calories a day in two weeks.

I did go to hospital 2 weeks ago but they seemed extremely unconcerned. I wasn't even given a doctor to see, the nurse just tested by vitals etc and said I was fine to go home.

I dunno what to do? Sick of feeling SO shitty.

That’s. Ten percent weight loss in two weeks, combined w keto-acidosis and gut issues, terrible feelings —- I’m concerned for you. What were you in hospital for last? Are there any other symptoms - fever etc.

Imo your clinicians are not having your best interests in mind, and about as good as the ones who refused to see my last 14 day impaction /illeus as an emergency.

You know you don’t feel right, 3k Cals a day w no movement and still shedding 10% is not right. Somewhere you aren’t absorbing things correctly. If it were me, I’d be firing docs and getting a second opinion. They work for you. Never forget that.

Good points! Think I'm gonna see what my G.P has to say, rather than the hospital this time.

I already have diabetes (from pancreatitis, not type 1 or 2). No drugs.

so that's the explanation, isn't it?
if you have some kind of inflammation then it's much easier to get into keto-acidosis, for example if you have some illness or even high levels of stress...
if you use insulin then maybe once the insulin could fail, for whatever reasons, I needed to throw into the rubbish can some "pens" and sometimes it fails for no reason. I stayed once without injecting the basal for a couple days (stupidly thinking that I really didn't need it ((pot smoker psychosis we could call it)) and then I went into keto-acidosis, it was a horrible experience...

If you don't use insulin maybe u need it now, just saying, I barely don't know about your case.
