Can anyone relate? If so, have you found a solution?

Here's a QUICK overview of my symptoms. I've had IBS (or rather have been labeled as having IBS) for years.  Three months ago, I start with nausea ALL the time.  I was on a new med which nausea was a big side affect. BUt it got so bad that I wasn't eating at all. SO I finally was prescribed zofran which didn't help. I moved up to phenargran (sp?) which helped but made me a zombie all the time.  I went off the medicine that we thought was attributing to the nausea. It wasn't. Nausea got worse. A month in, I started "dumping" the fattier meals. 2.5 months in I started vomiting. Usually once a day and usually in the mornings. Had an AB CT and HIDA scan. The HIDA scan showed a 29% EF which is abnormal and an ultrasound (done 1+ years ago) showed I had polyps. But because I don't have stones, the GI and surgeon said it wasn't my gallbladder. Ummmm...ok. They told me I have IBS. Yes, I know I have IBS. I've had IBS for years. I've never known IBS to cause nausea and vomiting. At least for me. Anywho, the surgeon puts me on bentyl, acting like it's going to be my miracle cure. Well, I am 2.5 days into the bentyl and all I can say about it is, I am nauseated all over again and now I can't sleep. I still have the cramping that often lands in the area as if it was menstrual cramps (hence the almost hysterectomy).  Can anyone relate to pain in that particular area? I saw someone post that they actually had a hysterectomy and their pain remained which is exactly what I suspect will happen. This is just annoying and frustrating. I am to stay on the bentyl for 2 weeks (I guess the good college try?) then follow-up with a different GI??

Sorry that you are suffering. What about your stomach? Do you have GERD? When I started my symptoms 14 years ago, I used to vomit incessantly. Reflux was the cause. I take Zofran and Nexium. The pain could be caused by IBS but there are other important annoying symptoms that define Crohn's in addition to biopsies. Have you got nonstop diarrhea, fever, severe abdominal cramps and drastic weight loss?
Hope you feel better soon :)

What I have right now is a lot of anxiety in the mornings. Intermittent cramping. Nausea. Whatever is going on cycles in and out. When it's going full force, I'll have dumping diarrhea, vomiting, terrible nausea, horrible cramps. That can last 3 months. I'll usually lose 10lbs or so. What I've been doing the last several days is eating HIGH fiber meals. I made a 15 bean soup. It has 18 grams of fiber per cup. I've eaten it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Veggies and fruit too. It's been a couple days since I've had pain. I stopped the Bentyl. It didn't help. It made me a lot worse cuz it was making me terribly nauseated. Since the "bean diet" I've had normal bowel movements every morning. Nearly no nausea. cramping almost gone. Just left with a LOT of anxiety in the mornings. I had a normal abdominal CT. With contrast. Could this still be crohns? Sorry if I repeat myself. I usually check this on my phone. It's hard for me to go back and read !

By the way, just wanted to let you know that you don't HAVE to have the normal Crohn's symptoms in order to have Crohn's. In fact, you don't have to have ANY of the normal symptoms. You don't have to have stomach pains, nausea, anxiety, diarreha or anything like that. It comes in all shapes and sizes. For example, my Crohn's was found by my annual-GYN appointment via skin tags.

I really think you should see a GI and get a colonoscopy. To me, it sounds like you have a lot more going on than just IBS. I almost think you think that, too!

We're here for you! Good luck!
