It sounds as though the hairline fracture is causing some swelling, which may be the reason you're feeling bloated. The food may be your body trying to compensate for the injury as a kind of buffer. I'm only speculating, but that would be my guess.
As for the heart burn, if you can tollerate apple cider vinegar-the one with the Mother in it, mixed with water, will get rid of that problem.
brother i cant tolerate anything in my gut honestly, anything i drink other than water, tea or anything like that sits on top, and gets thrown back up.
I had chicken soup today, half a can......and it didnt stay.......it hasnt always been this bad but its gotten progressively worse over the last 6 months.
As disgusting as it is.......my bowels? not much, and its about as neon yellow as you can get and not much at that.......i know thats gross but........
Something is pinching your duodenum shut perhaps..inflammation of some kind.
This is just a wildly intuitive guess made based on the posts I've seen.
You feel hungry, but don't want to eat yeah?
Brother at this point, im not even hungry anymore....and thats all greek to me lol
Along with my guess, several other members seem to think it is intestinal related, possibly blockage due to one thing or another. You're gaining weight because what you do take in probably isn't going anywhere..
I would go to the docs and tell them about your bowel movements in detail.
This is not something that will come back in a blood test. They may decide to do some GI camera work or scopes (not as bad as it sounds, I promise.)
Good luck and let us know how it turns out. Best wishes

No need to take days off, it won't affect anything. You just take it an hour before you eat and then don't eat for an hour or so after. Drink 8 glasses of water throughout the day and bang! And after a week you'll feel right as rain.
If the obstruction is caused by a twisting of the sigmoid area of the large intestine, a doctor may try to straighten out the twisting segment with lighted instruments (such as a proctoscope or sigmoidoscope) or a barium enema. But surgery is sometimes needed to fix twisting of the intestine.

If you're rarely hungry then it may be that you've twisted your large intestine like the other poster said. I'd have it checked out, maybe have some xrays done. I recall now hearing about a child who had that problem and her parents fixed it somehow.

You may want to consider having an enema or 5.
It works wonders that stuff.
