The last few weeks I have been having s bit of an iffy stomach , bloating , mixed bowel habits very fast etc I put it down to having a baby a few months ago and starting the pill . For some reason the other day I started picking at my stomach and it felt tender to touch (on the left side on my belly) I went doctors yesterday and she felt my tummy and could not feel anything sinister but sent me for bloods to rule out celiac disease as my dad has it . Has anyone had anything similar to this and been diagnosed with either IBS or celiac disease ? I have health anxiety so I am thinking worst case scenario as usual , in my mind I've got lymphoma or something because my belly is hurting . and because of my health anxiety i cant stoo thinking the worst .The tenderness is not there all the the , usually disappears one I get up and walk / go to the toilet . Thank you for any advice,
I think I’m the most obvious answer rather than the worse one. do fact checking.
it may be nothing but bloat, irritable bowel from anxiety, which is what I get. i get bloating, tenderness,. cramps.
just because u have tenderness doesnt mean a death sentence. your symptoms are very common .
99% of what we worry about never happens .
celiac disease can be managed. Just relax until there’s a definite answer .
but forget about horrible diseases. that’s just you allowing your mind to go there. Stop it in its tracks and do something positive. I’m sure you’re going to be just fine.
