I found the source of my intestinal issues. They turned out to be Gallbladder issues. In fact, I found out I have an enlarged spleen, liver disease and an inflamed gallbladder. The lack of bile was causing digestive problems. These are the underlying causes of my current dilemma. I guess I need to make some big lifestyle changes to get back to health and keep it that way so I don't end up with cirrhosis of the liver.

Thanks for the tips though! Looks like I will be on a strict diet for a while including a good workout plan. Time to reassess my goals.
