    Your thin stools will probably be caused by your gallbladder removal. It is a know side effect of the removal. You need to eat less fatty foods and more fibres. Be careful with your ibs as too much fibre can agitate it.

    Stress has a huge effect on your body. It will cause your heart to race, your stomach to be worse and so much more. You need to find a way to relax. I crochet.

    There is no point worrying about possibilities. You have all the tests so you can relax about the fact they haven't found anything.

    Enjoy your life as worrying about your health won't make it a happy one.

    Hope this helps.

    You symptoms sounds very much like acid reflux or indegestion, on top of IBS. Do you take anything for it such as omemprazole? It might be worth asking your Dr to advice you on these conditions, if it is this, they are very easy to treat.

    I agree with Susan, loose stools are a common side effect from gall bladder removal, medication like loperamide and codine based tablets would help to solidify bowel movements, again ask your doctor to provide you with further advice to see if they'd think this would be suitable.

    Again, going back to the acid reflux side of things, if you're eating fatty foods these can massively aggrivate your symptoms, so I'd keep a food diary for a while noting everything you've ate and how it made you feel afterwards, hopefully that way you'll be able to eliminate certain foods that cause you problems.

    As for your Nephew, I wouldn't worry about him. Your blood would have been fully tested for all types of diseases and infections until they could deem it completely safe to use.

    I also would try avoid googling anything, you could type in that your big toe hurts and the most common condition would probably be cancer! Just trust in your Dr's, although it may not feel like it sometimes, but they really do have your best interests at heart.

    Hope you get better, let us all know.
