Confused about digestive issues-looking for opinions

Hello sounds like a combination of things. My daughter has IBS and the majority of your symptoms sound like what she deals with.

Also the Advil that often is definitely not good.you could have a stomach ulcer also I have that and a couple of your symptoms sound like what I go through. You should talk to your doctor and go see a gastro doctor. Maybe get an EGD and Colonoscopy to rule out anything more serious.

Good luck and I hope for a speedy solution to your health issues.

It may be IBS. Stomach surgery can trigger it.  Speak to your doctor.

It sounds like gastroparesis, same symptoms as my wife.

Hello Rebecca, your problem sounds almost itentical to mine and I also psoted a blog that was titled Tired of Daily Feeling Sick and Doctors Have No Clue. I am like Hana9074132 and been through tests, different medications and all with no staisfaction. I went to the health food store and spoke with a very knowledgable person regarding my problem and they suggested for 2 weeks to take a product from New Roots which is a hosiptial bacteria probiotic and a product from Classic Series called Mastic Chios Gum. They both come in capsule form and you take 1 capsule from each 23 times a day jsut b efore a meal on a empty stomach. The one should make sure that you get enought vitamin D3. Then it was recommended that I go on a product that is called CHILL which helps with anziety and stress. I have been on the first 2 products for a week now and I am feeling not too bad and will give it the 2nd week with hopes it settles things down. Not sure if that is much help to you but I will be posting on my blog again after the 2nd week is up to let others know how I feel. Good luck to you as there is many of us out there and we all feel your pain.

Sounds like IBS like I have.  Stop the dairy and red meat.  Keep a food dairy to see what foods are good/bad for you.  Take probiotics daily.  Don't drink coffee.  Drink peppermint tea.  Pepto Bismol helps a lot with stomach issues.   Metamucil (powdered fiber mixed with water) works good for diarrhea/constipation because it bulks up stool and helps to make your bowel movements more normal.  Hope this helps.

Hi Rebecca. sorry to hear you are so poorly.  Your symptoms remind me of bile acid malabsorption ( i have had it since early 2015). its where too much bile acid reaches your intestines & it causes symptoms of urgent diarrea (particularly during/straight after eating), noisy stomach(gurgling,squeaking) bloating, sometimes nausea, & the diarrea causes frequent soreness around anus/rectum, inability to digest fats in diet properly.  the frequent diarrea can also cause headaches as there is often risk of poor hydration. also excessive tiredness & general feeling of unwellness.  I think you should ask your gp or consultant for a sehcat test to test for bile acid malabsorption. its a simple test that involves swallowing a tracer pill followed by a quick specialised scan. you go back 7days later for another scan. from this they can see if you have bile acid malabsorption & then give you meds to treat which make a huge difference within weeks of starting. even though you've had your gallbladder removed, you can still have this condition as the gallbladder was simply a "tank" to store bile acid. you still produce bile acid after your gallbladder has been removed.  it is called bam for short, & a common condition that is often overlooked in patients with bowel disorders such ibs, crohns, colitis. i think people with chronic diarrea/pain should always be tested for this condition in the absence of any other bowel condition,BEFORE being diagnosed with ibs, as it mimics the symptoms of several bowel conditions.  xx
