I don’t know if my symtoms are ibs I’ve had blood tests and pelvic scan and colonoscopy which was all clear but get tummy pains a lot my toilet is hard sometimes then soft but not really like diarrhoea and after having bowel movement I feel so nauseous any one else get like this
It's so hard to know for sure if it is IBS or not. There are so many conditions that have these same symptoms. What did the blood tests, pelvic scan and colonoscopy results show?
All test came back normal so Docs are confused to what’s wrong so they say could be ibs related I don’t of any other tests I should ask for
What type of pelvic scan did you have?
I had a adominal pelvic scan of the women bits ouveries womb all that
I'm guessing that's an ultrasound. Sorry I'm in the states and we have different terms. Have they ever checked you for diverticulitis? The diverticula in the intestines get inflamed and cause a lot of nausea and pain. I just got out of the hospital with an attack. I also have IBS and a bunch of other GI issues that my gastroenterologist diagnosed me with after a scope. The diverticulitis was diagnosed a few years ago after an ER trip. I wasn't completely convinced I had it until this trip. They did a CT scan with contrast and showed a severely inflamed sigmoid colon.
A colonoscopy would also pick up diverticulitis. With IBS, symptoms such as pain termporarily improve after a bowel movement. My IBS nausea only came on because of my stomach pain but not after a bowel movement. My bowel movements changed in my first three months of symptoms and I got constant stomach pain. Now, my pain is in remission and my bowel habits have settled.
One of my doctors actually admitted that my symptoms confused her and she hadn't got a clue.
Your doctor or health care needs to check this, any changes in bowel habits need to be investigated. Good luck.
Hi my discomfort does ease a bit when I’ve been toilet but it’s not so much pain it’s discomfort across belly button area then later in the day it’s right and left side pelvic the nausea eased of after few hours in the morning someone said to try cutting out gluten see if that helps so will try it can’t hurt to try it’s i don’t have a day without discomfort one min bowels hard then hours after loose we’ll sort of normal
I’ve had a colonoscopy was all clear
I’ve only had a colonoscopy done and bloods and belly scan don’t know what other tests the can do over here how do I control your ibs and what symtoms u got
Sounds like IBS.
I didn't know I had it until I went to my GP the GI doc put it in my chart. They gave e me Miralax and I have used it once. I also stool softeners because the hospital said I need to.
Is moralax any good and u say used once what that mean what softeners u use
I think it is ok. I just use OTC generic stool softeners.
Hat did u do to get into remission
I didn’t do anything. As soon as I got my diagnosis, my IBS went into remission on its own. I think it was down to my health anxiety clearing up.
What tests did u have done to get a ibs diagnosis
I had a urine test, h pylori and fecal calprotectin stool tests, celiac test and ultrasound. All of these were negative, so I was diagnosed with IBS. IBS can be diagnosed when other causes have been ruled out.
H pylori what is that and how they test for that I’ve had celiac test that was negative and so was ultrasound having another urine test done tomrrow as I had a uti few weeks ago dip stick showed infection but they sent it off and come back clear don’t understand that and bloods my white count was little high which might be cause the uti if I had one I definitely felt like I did antibocs cleared it in 5 days
