hI GUYS I would like to share that for the past 2 years and recent months, i have gone through many checks and meds due to having IBS and GERD.. well i had endoscope and colonscope done 1 year back..so i was diagonised with the above 2 illness.. but lately i have not been feeling too well, see my gastro and my Gp..so i like to have some comments as i felt i could not differentiate between my 2 illness GERD. PPLE with acid reflux tend to have heartburn, lump in throat , chest discomfort . i do not have hardly any of those..but i do face abdominal discomfort, a lot of burping at times after a meal and lately slight nausea at times. i was diagonised with GERD by endoscope 1.5 years ago due to some inflammation on the esphogheus IBS-D i did a colonscope 1 year ago and doc diagonised me with IBSMost of the time, i face, stomach cramps and watery, loose scattered stools. on a bad week, i would go to the toliet like 2 ~3 times /day to pass such loose and watery stools..on a bad painful day, i do pass dark coloured and watery stools (oni on occassional painful moments). But lately i have been facing stomach burning sensation and passing much watery loose stools..when i felt stomach discomfort, along came the slight feeling of nausea which seem like a new systom to memy gastro told me the nausea is due to gerd...ask me started taking nexium for 1 month and probitotics for 1 month. i decided to see another of my GP and was told to take lactoguard and labevine (stomach cramps) + my Probiotics..some how i feel the nausea and abdomen discomfort is due to my IBS . i have stop nexium for past 7 days.. still taking my lactoguard + labevine + probiotics.. i also felt better for the past 1~2 weeks after my lactoguard and LabevineMy Advise from my regular GP is since i had done all the scopes which is carried out by my gastro 1.5 years back, to assure myself, i went to do a ultrasound on abdomen, blood test to check for crotisis diseases / infection / blood count and stool test. ..all turn out fine !!!! Guys is there a huge relation from acid reflux ~ addomen discomfort ~ IBS??? somehow i always feel i am more IBS problematic then my GERD..if i can just focus on my IBS problem by making a change on my diet (currently already omit caffine and tobbaco from my diet and life) and with proper meds..i hope to defeat it soon..i believe this forum acts an encouragement channel for all us IBS / GERD related sufferers..Have to stay optimistc and share good opinions from forum members so we can defeat this illness and take back our normal life..cheers
