Sick of being tired, tired of being sick

I've been on 1 Lansoprazole a day for 10 months for reflux and had Peptac 4 times a day for 2 months early on. I called my GP today to ask for Peptac again and he asked lots of questions before agreeing to me taking it.

In recent months I've had increasingly bad diarrhoea and nausea, occasionally with vomiting. GP has arranged blood and stool tests. This evening after dinner I'm getting sharp pains around the left side of my stomach area, even though I have taken Gaviscon.

Some mornings I cough so hard its difficult to take a breath. I get a lot of mucus coming up too.

Im 57 now and in my mid 20s I was diagnosed with IBS after investigation and wonder if some of this is down to that.

I work from home and in an online meeting yesterday I almost had to leave due to nausea. I'm exhausted all the time and so fed up of this now.

How do you keep going?
