I don't think it is IBS. Four years ago I was working in the summer heat (Always had a feeling the heat started it) and had symptoms like your son's. It took doctors 3 years to even think to look at...
about 4 years ago I started expeirincing constipation, diahrea, abdominal pain, nuasea, vomiting, and dry heaves. I was diagnosed with IBS. At least 1 if not more of the symptoms I experienced on a...
yeah i would be constipated for a few days and then I would have a mass dumping at the toilet. I do have to go to the bathroom within a half hour of eating now, but it is pretty regular now. And the...
My pain is in my lower left, so maybe we don't have the exact same thing, but pretty similar. 26 year old male, in Washington state. Sounds like if they found inflamation in your stomach then you...
Thanks guys, just needed to vent. Dealing with insurance companies can really make everything feel like it just piles up on you. Knew I could say what I wanted to on here and people would understand....
If the nausea was every day, and the pain went away, I would say you have the exact same thing as I have. My HIDA showed a lazy gallbladder, got it removed, gallbladder showed mild chronic...
In a month and a half I will have been suffereing for 4 years from IBS-like symptoms. I probably have it wosre than most, as my symptoms ranged from constipation, diahrea, pain, cramping, stabbing...
After almost four years of being diagnosed with IBS, I am finally getting results. Gallbladder was removed because it was lazy and had mild chronic inflamation. Nausea has been better, only have it...
i just had my gallbladder removed, it had an ejection fraction of 28% and was chronically inflamed. all my test came back negative before as well. The next test they were coing to give me was a scan...
I had nausea and vomiting for 3.5 years, diagnosed as IBS and nothing worked. Last Dr. ordered a HIDA scan for may gallbladder, which showed I had a lazy gallbladder. Had it removed on the 11th. Upon...
Very true, and IBS is such a wierd disease. Most of the time patients want normal lab results. And everytime I was hoping for something to be wrong, that way there may be a course of treatment for a...
Read my post about the missed gallbladder problem, that is the area that me referred pain was located, always on the lower turn. But it sounds like diverticulitis, i would have the Dr. check it. o...
Tori, until you find out if it's your gallbladder or not, lower the temperature of your house. I found that keeping the temperature around 60 degrees helped a little. Which is more than what any...
I had nausea everyday as well. For me it was every morning for about 3 to 5 hours on the average. But I would also have good days were it was only for an hour and bad days were it would never go...
The bile salt malabsorption test is a different test. However, if your test comes back negative and your doctors are already looking at your gallbladder they may do a HIDA scan next. If they don't...
My new GI doctor order a HIDA scan for me. At the end of the test an enzyme is given that makes your gallbladder eject its stored bile. A healthy gallbladder should eject at least 60% of its bile. My...
I haven't been throwing up for 20 years, but have been for 3.5 years. Every day, trust me I know how you feel and how miserable it can be. Which gallbladder test did you have? My new GI dr. ran a...
My story is pretty simular, only I was a basketball coach this year. Nausea and vomiting done around 1:00 practice at 3:00. That is one thing I've noticed as well, schools don't have many bathrooms...

Some of you may be familiar with my story, but for those that don't....3 three years ago i was diagnosed with IBS after having constipation, diahrea, non-stop pain, nausea, and vomiting. No...
what methods did you use for your pain? It doesn't sound like my pain is as intense as yours, but I have had pain that hasn't gone away once for over 2 years now. It usually isn't too bad but I would...
yep, nausea and vomiting diffenately can happen, i have had flare ups where i have had nausea every day for over 3 months at a time. I usually just dry heave (17 times in one day is my record) but...
I tried Aloe vera juice, didn't really do much for me. Then again the only thing that has worked for me was accupuncture, and that only helped for about 2 months. I have heard of the oil in coconuts...
Thanks, debbikay. You are correct, the problem with IBS is there is no deffenative test that shows or proves a patient has IBS. But in crohn's a colonoscopy usually will show if a patient has crohn's...
While watching an episode of house, i noticed that symptoms for addison's disease are similar to symptoms of IBS. Wikipedia says the most common symptoms for addison's is: fatigue, lightheadedness...
Just wanted to give a story of inspiration for you all, as many stories here have helped me in the past. After struggling to get medical insurance and help for the last 1+ years, I got full...
Hang in there, and don't give up. I would let the Dr. do an endoscopy because if you are having nuasea and "V'ing" problems it could be an issue with your stomach. Just becuase there is a good...
Would you laugh or make fun of someone becuase they are blind, autistic, or if they have cancer?? Of course your wouldn't, becuase you know what it is like to suffer from a medical condition that you...

No i don't have any parasites, I looked into when i was first being diagnosed 2 years ago, and the symptoms never matched with me so a really haven't investigated it. I had a bad day yesterday and...
k thanks, I looked over the forum rules and it said we weren't supposed to talk about clinical trials. Do I need to edit the opening thread?? Sorry. CT scan came back and showed I have fat in my...
I had about 15 to 20 different tests ran on me. Everytime they were not looking fro IBS. The were looking for a different disease, and were able to exclude those diseases. Then when my GI Dr. wanted...
you are wrong about one thing, ibs IS a diagnosis of exclusion!...
IBS is not a disease, it is a diagnoses of exclusion. Which really means there are hundreds of things that it could be and a good Dr. is just going to test for about 20 different things and if...
no anxiety, but know how feeling trapped is. My experience tells me that if your Dr. isn't doing anything new as far as your treatment, then demand a new treatment or get a different Dr. Accupuncture...

yes officially diagnosed, but I think it is wrong. Severe nausea everyday for over a month now and pain at least the size of a baseball non-stop for over a year. I think IBS is making me crazy. I can...
When I first starting having IBS symptoms My best friend and his girlfreind (also a good friend), claimed my IBS was in my head or that it was simply my diet. Of course their words hurt extremely...
the Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome doesn't quite fit as the article says it is more episodic then what I am experiencing. I might get 1 to 3 days without nausea and then it is back to nausea for the next 5...
Have consulted two general MD's and I see a GI specialist in Olympia, WA and had a 2nd and 3rd opinion from GI specialist at OHSU in Portland and the University of Washington in Seattle. The vomiting...
