Do not give up, from one doctor to another doctor.....from one clinic to another clinic...... until you find someone who will truly help you, AND THEN REMEMBER THE MAN WHO GAVE YOU ADVICE HOW TO ACT.
So sorry to read how bad you are Toni. Please ask your GP for a blood test for Coeliac disease. I had IBS for around 20 years couldn't leave the house until after 11am and took tablets every day. I read about the Coeliac blood test on this site. I am now on a gluten free diet and am very much better and I stopped taking prescription drugs. I hope this helps. Best wishes for the future. Barb
I am truly sorry to hear about your situation.
Fully explore all medical avenues first - Ask your doctor to get ALL possible tests done. IBS is a condition of default - If all the tests are negative, then it must be IBS ????
There are other medical conditions that could cause your symptoms.
Hi. Sorry to hear how this is ruining your life. I've had IBS for years but always been on the constipated side until my hysterectomy 2yrs ago. Have been awful for weeks and months in bouts over the 2yrs. Was convinced i had adhesions. Been under every specialism (urology, gynae, gastroenterology). Had bladder symptoms, pain in left hip, diarrhoea in the morning to the point that i was taking immodium instants to be able to leave the house. Was depressed as it was ruining my life. I now know its my IBS just the symptoms are different because of my hormones post hysterectomy. I have been on buscopan 20mgs four times a day and amitriptylline 10mgs at night. I have also cut out all 'trigger' foods (kept a food diary). I have cut out gluten even though caeliac test was negative. Its only been two weeks, so early days, but feel like a different person. Hope you find the solution that works for you. X
