My Story

Posted by Gemstone, Nov 5 2009, 07:27 AM

Hi Everyone,

Hoping that anyone can help i decided to write this blog.
I was diagnosed with IBS 8 years ago, but to be honest i have never noticed any significant symptoms until a year ago.
I started having servere diarrhea with stomach cramps, feeling really hot and feeling really nauseous so the doctor gave me tablets to stop the diarrhea. The problem was that they worked too well and i couldnt go to the toilet for 2 weeks, not surprising i ended up in hospital with servere pains, so they gave me some laxatives to help. Over the next 2 months i had countless blood and unrine test as well as scans and xrays saw countless doctors nurses and surgeons and in the end they decided i had a kidney infection but they still wanted me to have a Colonoscopy.
So March this year i had the colonoscopy and they didnt find anything, and at this point my symptoms had subsided.
Now i have started again with the same symptoms and a different doctor from last year has said that my IBS has flared up due to stress and that i need to relax, drink herbal tea and try a get more fibre into my diet. He also gave me Mebeverine tablets that i have to take 3 times a day which i have been on now for over a week and nothing has really changed.
Has anyone got any ideas that will help with the nausea and the pains?
