Advice..

I've been getting stomach cramps, fatigue and sickness for the past year, doctors have said ibs but I don't feel these symptoms match up, anyone got anyother suggestions? Thanks in advance?

Hi Jessicca,

These may well be IBS symptoms and/or signs of food intolerance.

Welcome to the club. From my experience, doctors aren't that interested in IBS as there are no drugs that can "cure" it as the symptoms and remedies are so varied. Drug companies can't really make a one size fits all cure as IBS has symptoms ranging from constipation to diarrhoea. Thats why IBS is a one size fits all diagnosis. Its more of a range of symptoms rather than an illness. So we're left to diagnose and treat ourselves which seems daunting but eventually the fog will lift and you'll start realising where the issues lie wether its diet, lifestyle or both. Theres no harm in pestering your doctor if you're really feeling ill and actually being sick. I think they get so many people with variable symptoms its easier to diagnose IBS and see if they come back. Best of luck with everything

Hi Jessica

For the stomach cramp have you tried busapan you can buy them from any chemist the paramedics gave them to me when I was having a flare and within minutes it took the cramping pain away. I have ulcerative colitis and suffer from bouts of diverticulitis. I hope they help if you decide to try them. They worked amazingly for me took the pain away in minutes. Take good care of yourself.
