Symptoms are ruining my life, help
Posted , 5 users are following.
Last year I started to show the symptoms of IBS and though i've done so many tests, I just keep getting referred for more tests and meanwhilst it has slowly destroyed my life. I got kicked out of sixth form today because of low attendance in the mornings where I always have a flare up. GP refuses to write a note or atleast print off my medical history for the school and the school also refuses to call them and instead doubt me about repeatedly asking. Please help, if there is anything I can do to control this can you please share with me because I just want my life back

Not what any 22 year old wants their life to be like!
Your sixth form surely should be writing to your doctor. Ask for sick notes and they will have to do something about it. It's not you fault! Try not to let it bother you (I know, easier said than done!) but if you stress more, it makes you worse. Try and find something that keeps you relaxed.
Wishing you all the best!!!! x

We really do! Do you know what triggers your symptoms?
It's shocking they're treating you like that. If you have IBSD, it's classed as a disability so you could get that against them! Shame on them!! Can you not do like a homeschooling kind of thing?
Just read your symptoms and they are exactly the same as mine bar the constipation. Do the spasms feel like a stabbing pain that like double you over?

Wheat and milk are triggers for me but I seem to be getting a mild reaction to everything I eat and then I get stressed and the urge to go worsens dramatically. I am very shocked myself because an adult has gone with me on my behalf and explained but to no avail, it is starting to feel surreal, all I want is to be well enough to actually finish 6th form next year but they refuse, crying is now a hobby of mine.
I have been researching into homeschooling since I got home from the GP a few hours ago and I think I would have to have a meeting with the city council for permission so I will be trying to get as much information as possible on it because I really want an education. Yes those are exactly the pains Incredibly painful and stops me in my tracks every time

For the prep sachets, mix them into lemonade. I've done many and they made me throw up until putting it into lemonade and it just makes it taste like flat fanta lemon.
But yeah it's hilarious what happens once it starts. I sat on the toilet nearly wetting myself laughing because you just don't expect so much to come out. But you will feel amazing once you're completely empty and it normally takes a few days to a week, to get back into a "normal" routine of toilet trips.
Don't worry about it though, it's more the fact you get embarrassed about a camera being put into your bum, it's not too bad if you take the sedation.
I've had 5 done so far, and one time it got stuck haha. But the doctors are always lovely
