For one year and three months I have suffered from nausea,constipation,stomach pain every day. I also have headache at least four times a week. My doctor is telling me that I have Post Infectious IBS... It all started on a holiday were I started vomiting and I got constipated for 10 days:(. I also got rashes on my legs and around my thyroid gland every time I was out.So we got back home and went to the doctor who sad that I have Post Infectious IBS. I have had a problem with constipation before and stomach pain from time, to time, but it didn't bother me like it does today.. Every morning I wake up with my symptoms and I go to bed with them as well. I even wake up at night because of them I have done colposcopys,gastroscopy,several scans of my stomachs. Ultrasounds on my uterine and I have even done a lumbar puncture and I will soon do another one because my neurologists wants to know that I don't have a too high pressure in my head. I have also done a MRI on my head. We have not yet, excluded the women disease "endometriosis"... Please someone tell me you're thoughts of what I might have, my hole life has stopped I can't even be in the car without almost feel like I will vomit. I can't even go out because I am so I'll. Please i beg, anyone give me some tips or ideas of what I might have.🙏🏻 does this really sound like Post Infectious IBS to you, than please tell me.

Thank you for youre answer in advance

Yes, it sounds exactly like post infectious IBS... I'm so sorry you are going through this, but you must be a very brave and strong woman...because here you are! This may sound like 'old hat' to you... but surely they have given you food tolerance testing, and you are extremely careful what you eat, right?

Medicine is seldom enough, except for to relieve the symptoms (which is important!) ... but could you share, if you would like, your eating habits...any thing that you consume? Also are you on any medications? Are you drinking PLENTY of water...coffee, tea, soda...they do not count.

Some people takes many rounds of anti biotics, sometimes they help.

Have you been tested for Celiac disease... that could be a huge contributing factor.

Anyway, best wishes to you... maybe some who has gone (is going) through this same thing will have some good ideas for you. I hope so. Please stay in touch and let us know. I do so hope you have a good day.

There is a very excellent book out there called "Wheat Belly" (can't think of author's name) .... you can also Google a site for this... a lot of people who felt like totally giving up health wise found this to actually be a cure.

Hello, yes i have. They have Done an ultrasound on my appendix as well:/ I had never been in Egypt before and me and my dad thought that we should go there and see the pyramids. It was took 2 days and I went I'll... I asked my doctor if the countrie could be the "source" but he thinks that I got a virus maybe before we went. So I don't know...Thank you for you're answer

Ok, good to know what does "pm you x" mean?

[Illnessgoaway]

Hi bettyA! Thank you I eat almost everything, like meat and gluten but I only drink tea and water I have been tested for celiac disease and I don't have it. Thank you for you're kind words it means so much! I eat Zofran for my nausea and Diclofenacum for my headache. I take lots of different laxatives:/ that doesn't help... I had a round of antibiotics but it didn't help at all unfortently:/ But thank you so much for you're kindness and answer and I will google the book!

Dealing with your constipation would be a good start - that's what I did and it changed my life and i retrained as a nutritionist because I was helped by complementary medicine when my doctor didnt know how to help. If you want to pm me I am happy to give you some advice.
