Suffered 4 years Severely, Is it Really IBS?

Hi my name is Coryn and I am on my Wits end..

I am 18 and spent the last 4 and a half years In and out of hospitals, Doctors, Specialists and I can't handle it no more I NEED to know that someone out there has the same issue As me.

It all started at about 15, I woke up one morning And I felt like my Kidney or Appendix  was exploding Inside of me it was horrible. My nan rushed me to the GP where I was told I had indigestion and he gave me some gaviscon and told me to take it till I felt better. about 2-3 weeks later I was still In awful pain so again I went back to the doctor where I was then told that I was Consitpated, Again I got some medicine thrown at me and I walked away, I took this for 4 weeks (4 WEEKS!) and nothing happened. 

So again I went back this time a little more frustrated, This is when I was told I had IBS, I trusted the doctors and got given more medicine and went home I took this for 2 months, Again Nothing happened So this time I went back I was defo annoyed.

This is when they stopped helping me And Everything went downhill, For the next year I couldn't get off the sofa I spent my days watching Netflix, I changed my Diet, Ate more Fibre, Drank more water done everything I could yet still nothing!

I soon became bed ridden and at 16 I met a guy, I would stay at his place and I would be so Ill he would look after me the amount of A&E trips we did was unreal.

I now live with him and I am now 18, I am still going through these problems And I now go to the gym 3 times a week, Do yoga, Pilates Each majorly healthy, Good fibre amounts and drink the right amount of water I should, I Take two sennas at night, And do as much As I physically can.

But again still sick, I had a colonoscopy a few months ago they found nothing worrying I was also meant to have an Endoscopy but I had a major panic attack and couldn't do that! 

I am doing a stool sample soon But Its destroying me, I now have depression and I have anxiety and I know it is from this So that wont help either, The thing Is I am no longer constipated I am going tot hr toilet 2-4 times a day and it is not normal Either It is Very soft, watery stools, It has mucus sometimes and sometimes even has blood.

The worst of it is the fact that I constantly feel Nausea And that makes me feel so poop...

Anyone else like this, There is more to it but I dont want to bore you !
