Hi, was diagnosed with bile acid malabsorption currently taking questran which has stopped the 12 toilet trips a day and poop is now brown not yellow ! I had my gallbladder removed prior to diagnosis so was told my right hand side pain is PROBABLY adhesions.
I am getting absoloutely unbearable pain in my stomach I can only describe it as like a hunger mixed in with someone squishing all my stomach downwards. I can't stand up straight when this happens.
I was told due to diagnosis of bile acid malabsorption you always have ibs aswell due to stress and anxiety (haven't left house in 4 years except hospital appointments so anxiety is bad) but buscopan doesn't really do a lot for the pain,
Was diagnosed with angiodema and uticaria from possibly food allergy but they refused food allergy tests.
Had colonoscopies reveal adenomas and abnormalities not abnormal enough to say chrons.
Blood when I'm going to the toilet followed sometimes by an intense burning like a knife has gone up my bowel and stabbed me in the stomach.
When I'm going to the toilet I have huge yellow balls of mucus and I mean huge as in 5-6cm large at least.
Asking due to my chrons testing (apart from calprotectin, needing to do a sample) and the GI said chrons if I have it is blatantly in my stomach or small bowel and a diagnosis of BAM is hand in hand with chrons AND ibs.
I also create no vitamin D so take monthly pills, not sure if relevant but periods for me are HELL completely unbearable leave me bedridden until it's stopped. They are more painful than my gallbladder removal.
Thanks for any advice,

The only thing I can relate to that I do suffer with my IBS is stomach pain, or course intestinal pain and urgency and lots of mucous. I even get dry heaves with clear mucous when I am in the constipation mode. Interestingly, you mentioned the stomach hunger thing with the grinding feeling of pushing down. I get that sometimes and wonder what the heck it is, it's not just normal feeling hungry. I have been woken up at night by those feelings and then have to eat something to quiet it down. I do have a vitamin D deficiency in that my numbers are right on the borderline. I take one a day but at small doses because high doses give me terrible stomach aches. I often wonder if I have a gall bladder issue and will be addressing that soon with my gastroenterologist. I don't know anything about Chrons.
