What's your symptoms at the moment?

I have had scopes and mri scans and they found it was colitis.

It's hard but try not to worry as it's all fixable .

Main thing is hellish bloating followed by a release of lots of gas . Dr reckons something could be blocking the bowel.

I had this last year and after a colonoscopy diagnosed with Diverticulosis. No help from the Hospital or GP though. Went privately to a food allergist, and excluded yeast and dairy. I am on FODMAP (for 3 years), and my symptoms have much improved. At least nothing sinister was found, although suggested by GP and Hospital!
