After having Pancreatitis a few times a year at the age of 21 until 23 the hospital told me it left me with IBS and stomach ulcers. I am now 26 and had nothing but problems since with my stomach!
Symptom incudes diarrhoea, stomach pains, urgency to go, bloating so bad I look 9 months pregnant, tiredness, headaches, weight gain (thats an odd one I know) feeling like I haven't fully gone, loose stools...need I go on!
I am now back to square one have both a endoscopy and colonoscopy tests, stool tests, blood tests and all the rest. I have tried charcoal and peppermint capsules,neither of them worked. I have tried avoiding gluten, wheat and dairy and nothing!
Any help and advice would be welcomed as I just don't know what to do for the next few months until I get the test results. Thats if anything even comes back!
Thanks

I have been put on Questran Lite for this and have a huge improvement, maybe ask your doctor what he thinks. wishing you well.
