Just wondering if any of yous have had a PH study Test'. where the tube goes through the nose into the esophagus and into the stomach. its a 24 Hour Study Test'. Like a Acid Reflux Test. If any of yous have had this test could you please let me know and where to from that test'. Im still waiting for a follow up. which means an appointment or something along the lines of that'.Which could mean waiting for months (Again). Last time I had to wait for a consultation and that took 4 months just for an appointment' and only to be seen for 10 minutes'. After waiting for four months' whilst still in Pain'. I Took a visit to my GP And wanted a Ultra Sound'. My Stomach always feels sore after I eat'. and it could be something small. Almost like it feels bloated to the point where its too sore to move'. I literally have to wait for my stomach to calm calm down. almost take over an hour and a half'. Sometimes on the rare occasion it takes longer for it to settle'. So much Gas, too the Point where I feel Like I cant breathe'. Constanting Burping'. . When I had done the PH Study Test I had to record the amount of times I burped'. And it was overwhelming'. to say the least'. Iv had these symptoms for over a year now'. the Nauseated feeling'. the Constant Burping'. and Im still waiting from "Specialists" to properly Diagnose Me'. They havent given at least a name for what I have'. or anything of the sort'. Its almost like They cant figure it out' and are confused.Oh and Yes my symptoms are real not Made up. I need answers'. ;Legit Answers. Someone out there must know what I have and what I could take to get rid of these Symptoms'. Its horrible'. living with this'.

    Could u have a motility issue? I had similar symptoms and turned out I had gastroparesis. Effects the whole digestive system. To determine that you would need a stomach study done.

      Im not sure . Though the only tests Iv had done is an endoscopy, A barium Swallow test. and a PH Study test'. I did have the celiac test done and it came back negative apparently.Does the stomach study test cause any pain while they are doing the test'Everything I have had in regards to tests have all come back negative.

    I would change your GP and ask for someone with an interest in IBS.  Ask for a stool test, celiac test, colonoscopy, endoscopy and food allergy testing, Did you have the ultrasound and if so, what were the results?  If all these tests are negative IBS can be confirmed.   I had an ultrasound, celiac test, urine test and stool samples taken.  All were clear.  Keep a food diary to see if you have any triggers.  Have you eaten anything you wouldn't normally eat?

    Have you had any stressful events recently?  IBS and stress are linked.  I have constipation and stomach pain. I also have had nausea and loose stools.  It took me eight doctors and three and a half months to be diagnosed with IBS.  One recognised my symptoms.

      8 Doctors? That is a lot.Majority of the doctors I have been through havent found a thing as yet. I have had an endoscopy which was last year in December. and also a test done for a Barium Swallow test'. I do have a white coating on my tongue which havent as yet gone away . has been there since last year April or June. so I have had all these symptoms for over a Year now. I have had a celiac test which was basically a blood test'. and it came back negative. I dont think Iv had a stool test. I do find myself feeling constipated'.and it does take me a while to actually go to the toilet'. like 4 days. I actually dont know what a Colonoscopy test is. I havent had a urine test as yet. and I was declined an Ultrasound also just recently from my GP

      I saw so many doctors because I go to a walk in centre where you can see who you want.  There is only one good doctor there and he diagnosed me

      Over a year is too long; tell your doctor you will go private if you get no help. Insist on the ultrasound.  A colonoscopy is a camera that is put up your backside to examine your bowel.
