ibs ???
Posted , 6 users are following.
Had my symptoms for around 2 years. Chronic fatiuge constant left sideded abomanial pain palpations and loose stools and undigested food.
My doc says it is ibs without any proper tests. Had a sigmoidoscopy all clear. I know th worry can make the symptoms worse but the left sided pain and the fatige can be quiet debilitating at times i seem to get breathless doing the slightest thing.

Have you had a recent full blood count and c reactive protein test? Could indicate possible infection and high inflammatory markers.. If tests indicate so. You could go direct to the lab and request to pay and get the tests done then take them to your dr if any of the wbcs are elevated or the crp too

If it was me I would certainly go back to doctor. Discuss your concerns that nothing was picked up after sigmoidoscopy. That you are still suffering with debititating fatigue and pain. Explain to your GP that this pain and fatigue is really affecting the quality of your life.The next step is a colonoscopy which will show a much clearer picture of what is happening in your bowel.
As you said the worry of why you feel like this is making your symptoms worse - please make an appointment to see your GP.
Keep in touch.
Best wishes.

We all have periods when we don't digest food properly.
My friend had ibs for years when she was running a post office and a shop. As soon as she retired the symptoms disappeared. So stress and worry is certainly a factor.
But if you are not happy then go back maybe to another GP in the same practice and voice your concerns.
Take care and keep in touch

I have right sided cramps and severe cramps. I do not mind pain and once had a sharp object next to my eye which bled profusely and I walked 3 miles to hospital but these cramps are incredible. If I am sat down I writhe and knock things off so I tend to stand and my body forces me into these weird Igor poses as I can not control it.
Tests for me all clear too and I have posted on fatigue a few times and fallen asleep on my bathroom floor so I am in complete agreement.
