I suffer with anxiety and this can flare up ibs
Have you asked your gp for a scan this
Hopefully may put your mind at rest.
If your feeling this way I would definitely go back to the doctors and insist that you have a 2 nd opinion
Hopefully other members on here may also have some ideas for you
Best wishes

its understandable that you feel the way you do !
BUT you must think of what life the ones you lost would want you to have ! Bet you it's not what you are living now ?
try your doctor again see if you can get a scan to see what's what and take it from there ...stress can debilitate anyone and make you ill !
you can live your life to the full by being happy take all that was good from the past and take it into your future leave the sadness behind I know this is what your recent losses would all want for you .
be strong talk to people share your feelings by being open you may find you are helping somone else try bereavement councilling this could help if you cannot pull through this yourself + don't let stress affect your eating routine !
good luck .
regards Trev.

It is never easy letting go.I have never been through something like this and can only imagine.
Healing from loss involves coming to terms with the loss and the meaning of the loss in your life.
Difficult as it may seem , it might have a direct impact on your health.
I wish I have the right words to cmfort you and lessen your pain.
It would help you to try to see some support groups.

Some "progressive" doctors are realizing this connection and are prescribing antidepressants along with the standard acid blockers.
I have read commenters mention that it does help.
If your GP is not willing to try this approach, then you should also see a psychologist who can add it to your medications.
I hope you feel better soon. We do care.
