Hi jonpatgalla I have just been diagnosed with IBS at hospital. I was in hoslital for 15 days where they gave me a ct scan, endoscapy and an ultrasound. I was in so much pain they had to give me morphine to take the pain away. My symtoms are, extreme pain in my tummy at the top,both sides, lower abdominal pain and nausea, couldn't even drink water without being in pain. Swelling and hardness of the tummy, gas and diarrhea.They gave me imodium for the diarrhea. They sent me home in the same way i went in, in extreme pain saying it was IBS. I dont know if everyone has the same symtoms. They have given me an extra 5 tablets to take in the morning, 6 at lunch time and 5 at bedtime along with codine to take when the pain is severe which it is nearly all the time so thats another 4 a day. I am now taking a huge amount of tablets a day as I have other health problems which I dont like. The tablets are not making any difference apart from a pepermint oil one which helps a little bit and the codine which help ease the pain but does not take it away completely. I have now had this extreme pain for about 6 weeks, before I could cope with it but the pain has always been there for about 2 years. I have chronic pancreatitis and a psudo cyst on the end of my pancreas but the pain I originally went in with 2 years ago was the pain I have now. They found these other things when I went in. So I thought the pain I was getting was the pain from my pancreas which they are now saying is IBS but i do still have chr. panc. and cyst which I go for a scan every 3 months for. Im sorry i seem to have given u my life story of the past 2 years turned into a book. Sorry hope it helps though. I still have to go to bed when my pain is severe and dont get out at all just now.

Hi can u tell me what you did to be symptoms free please.

[moira22 in reply to moira22]

Thanks so much for replying. I have headaches, pain passing urine, muscle pain in my tummy, I can feel the muscles when i touch my tummy, Im lactose and glutten intolerant. Cant eat any dairy, pasta, brown/wholemeal bread, veg, apart from carrots, fruit, any kind of soup except home made but has to be clear. Gravey or any kind of sauce. So mice, stew things like that are out, fizzy or diluting juice. Even water. . Bought bottled water as suggested but didnt work. Taking my tablets is horrendous. Oh I cant think... i was thinking of going to Jan Dufries as he has a private practice in Glasgow now to fet tested for food alergies to see what I can eat apart from plain chicken, mash, plain roast beef. Thank you so much for listening to me i really appreciate if.

Hi Little toad thx so much for all the great information u gave me. I'm 62 years old and have no life whatsoever. This is the place i was going to go to. I am on 19 tablets in the morning, 6 in the afternoon and 13 at night. 4 Codine a day and Creon 40000 for digestive system as my pancreas donsn't produce them anymore. 3 before meals ( if i eat) and 1before a snack. I was given drinks called Fresubin home from hospital form the nutritionist who was very helpful. She said to take 3 a day if i don't eat and 2 a day if i have a meal. I can't take the milky ones as they kill my stomach but they are Fat and Fibre free. Clinically free from lactose and gluten. But the juicy ones aren't so bad. Still sore tummy when i drink them though but if I'm not eating i feel i need to try something. I didn't know lactose free milk was still cows milk. Someone suggested goats milk. I don't know. You have been so kind thank you. Could you please send me ur links. I would appreciate it very much xx
