soystud, thanks for your response. In fact, I did try Atkins diet for about 10 days, but it was too much work for me and I lost way too much weight. I can't really tell if it helped...Can you please...
A lot of you have been asking how I was doing and found my case to be very interesting, so I tought to write you a new post just to summarize my condition. *Note: I'm 24 year old female from Europe...
Unfortunately I don't have much to share with you. Candida stool test came back negative. I am currently waiting for celiac disease testing... My problems are still the same, but now I even get a lot...
Jfer, what's your diagnosis? Well, my plan is to go and do a Candida stool test on Monday, then I'll call the hospital to make an appointment for celiac disease test. I'll let you know how I'm doing....
Elle, don't worry, it's very common to get constipation after colonoscopy. My doctor warned me about that. ;o)...
I did iron levels and occult blood stool test, everything was fine. Thanks for your suggestions, you're very helpful and sorry for all this nagging. It's just that I'm even more confused with these...
kazbern, I agree with you. I would rather take any medication right now and be done with this, the only problem is that I don't even know if this condition is supposed to be treated or not. I'll do...
But the doctor checked terminal ileum via colonoscopy and took biopsy samples and nothing was found there. I was only in my sigmoid colon. This is an article I found:...
In distal sigmoid colon. I've just been reading some articles online and it looks like a lot of people with IBS have mild non-specific inflammation in the colon. Not really sure what to make of it......
I guess it's not UC, it only says "non-specific inflammation". She said to do a stool test for Candida and then call her back with the results ASAP....
It's me again. Just got a call from my doctor. So they found signs of non specific inflammation in my colon. She suggested I should do a test for celiac disease and Candida. I guess this is not IBS...
Maybe try eating smaller meals every 2-3 hours?...
I also have pain which starts on the right side, but then moves to the left. Don't really know how to explain it properly. But I think there are no rules regarding IBS pain, it could be...
I am truly sorry to hear about your condition. It must be devastating. I am also 24 and been suffering from chronic gastritis and IBS. What are your symptoms regarding IBS? Does low carb diet help?...
It could be, but then again, losing 10 kg in 9 weeks is way too much. What do you mean by unpredictable stools in the morning? First of all, you should pay a visit to your doctor and do some stool...
rufous57, still no biopsy results. :cry: I hope my GI calls me on Monday! Bettsann, thank you so much, you are too kind! :blush: I'm convinced that my IBS condition has something to do with...
No problem, unfortunately I know exactly how you feel. Just a tip, I found that black and green tea have a lot of caffeine, so maybe try something more mild like mint or camomile. I really hope...
I suggest you try FODMAP. And if it doesn't work than try going gluten free. High fiber also triggers me. I've tried going gluten free and it didn't help. I'm trying a low carb diet right now (3d day...
Similar thing happens to me, altough the coffee is not a problem (for me). I do avoid it however since I have gastritis. I'm now trying to go low carb and then introduce some of the food again to see...
Hi Jfer, sorry to hear that. I don't have diarrhea, but I do get cramps and multiple stools in the morning. It's too bad that you've been suffering for such a long time! Did you see your doctor? I...
It doesn't sound like IBS. This may be something more serious. I'm sorry I can't help you further with this problem, but try to find a good doctor that will help you. Wish you all the best....
I'm not an expert, but you should do a C. Diff test. It can be done via stool test. And I think it's treated with Vancomycin if you can't tolerate Flagyl or your first therapy fails to work. You...
I'm so sorry you have to go through all of that crap. Did you ever test for H. Pylori? I had the bug and it can cause diarrhea as well as abdominal pain and burping. What about your thyroid gland?...
Antibiotics affect our gut by causing SIBO or Candida overgrowth (or both). SIBO is treated with certain kind of antibiotic (Rifaximin) that only affects your bowels, and for Candida you usually take...
I was diagnosed with H. Pylori gastritis, shortly after that I got a UTI. And finally I had a wisdom tooth extraction. Nasty, I know....
Have you considered a possibility that you maybe have a false feeling of trapped gas when in fact your rectum is irritated and sends wrong signals to your brain? Or it could be that your anal...
The doctor said that it might me a mild inflammation. She told me to wait for the biopsy results just to be on the safe side. So I'm waiting...But I really think this could be Candida. I did take 4...
kazbern, she didn't find inflammation just a small area that looks a bit suspicious so she took samples for biposy. I'm still waiting for the results....
Ruth, first of all thanks for all the great advice. I'll try getting up earlier and doing this massage. Maybe it helps. Yes, I did take probiotics while taking antibiotics but then again I got a...
Unfortunately colonoscopy is essential to rule out cancer at older age and it's the only way to distinguish IBD (inflammation) from IBS (no inflammation). But you should definitely discuss this with...
rufous57, thanks. I will sure try not to sit on the loo to much. As a matter of fact, I tried high fiber diet and it only made things worse for me. I decided to try a low carb diet now because I...
Hello everyone. :-) I'm 24 year old female, a student of veterinary medicine and have been diagnosed with IBS a month ago. Last week I had a colonoscopy that only showed what could be a mild...
Thank you for your fast response and support. It might be bacterial, since all the antbiotics I took probably killed all the good bacteria and let the bad ones go wild. But I guess I would be at...
Hello everyone, I am a 23 year old female. I afraid that I also might be suffering from this condition. My troubles started in May when I was diagnosed with Helicobacter gastritis, took triple...
