Hi there I have had ibs for many years. I now have fibromyalgia too. Usually my ibs will affect me for the odd day here and there,usually with severe diarrhoea.I changed my diet quite a bit last July and lost 3 stone with slimming world and the ibs improved even more,I was so pleased.
Ten days ago I got a terrible heavy bloating feeling in my lower abdomen and found it hard to walk. Since then I've seen my doc 3 times and spent a night in hospital. The pain has been so bad and has been unrelenting especially after eating. I now don't want to eat because it makes things worse but I know that's not an option. I've had urine tests which came back with blood in it so I've been put on antibiotics for a water infection.ive had X-rays with the dye to show up my kidney and bladder. All looked normal.
I've got to go for an ultrasound and maybe a colonoscopy. Have been given mebeverine as well. I'm so worried I case there's something nasty going on. My blood tests came back normal.
I just want to get back to how I was before I was doing so well now I can barely look after my kids and my poor dogs are in kennels as I can't look after them. I'm a single parent,luckily the kids dad has had them while I was in hospital.
