Posted , 3 users are following.
4 weeks ago l had a pain in my back and belly, i ignored it until the pain was so bad i was rushed into hospital. I apparently had this but was unaware. One of the pouches got infected fell of the wall and turned into an abscess which exploded. cause a small hole in my colon . if l had waited 2 more hrs l would of been dead. My body was in septic stage. i threw up poision for two days. They had me on 5 different antibiotics through IV ports in multiple places to try and get on top of the infection it took 10 days before l started yo fell well again. Then then l had 2 top surgeons who repaired my colon removed a lot of my intestines to remove the damage parts. im two weeks after surgery and home. scared of all of it. I'm going to meet with a nutritionist next week to advice me on the best way to deal with it. So don't dismiss your pain. It nearly cost me my life.

Biofeed clinic but they keep cancelling. All these consultants say is take immodium up to 8 a day. Doesn't .after what I eat or care full with. I have diarrhoea and often really bad. lower backache. Im never offered antibiotics when have had a flare up. In end few months ago ended up in hospital. severe backache stomach problems.had to have morphine ridiculous. 3 days in hospital. Few weeks ago had abcess in my groin . as run down health wise I have seen celiac disease is assoiatef with back pain but they said I havnt got that or gluten intolerance I now thinking Imi allergic to some foods and wondering where I Can get tested for food allergys privatly as given up with doctors. Had seven years of being scared going out because I have sometimes no warning going to poo myself. I just dose myself up with immodium as doctor says. Not resolving anything. Really cant believe IBS just associated with stress. They saying my consultant that bile going into my stomach is cause since I had . my gallbladder removed in 1992.

Don't give up! Keep consulting with Dr's and if you don't trust the answers your getting keep looking. Do you have any trusted friends or collegues who can recommend a specialist they have seen?
I hope you get a resolution soon!
