Hi, I am going through the same thing. Also had a colonoscopy. My gastro is useless. He dismisses me. All he said was "IBS" "fiber, water" which he knows I already do, but does not work. If he did his reaearch, he would know that a high fiber diet does not work for alot of people with IBS, or Severe constipation. Just makes things worse. There is a good article on this on gutsense. Org. Or "The Fiber Menace" on Google. Fiber just aggravates things. General practioners just refer you you to more tests and imaging, which too, don't do much and they dismiss you. My last option is a colon and rectal specialist. I'm going to make sure I schedule I office visits with him, and get tests done for pelvic floor dysfunction, weak anal sphincter, inflamatory rectum/Anal fissure. Spastic colon. Possible hernia, maybe two. There has to be more that can be done. I don't know if you have lost weight, but I am suffering and over the year have gone from a healthy weight, to skin and bones, but Doctor's don't care. Just tired of it all. 😞. I am on Bentyl to help with intestinal cramping and spasming. Have you tried that? Your Doctor or Gastro, etc can write you a prescription for it. It can be taken up to 4 times a day 30 minutes before meals and at bedtime. It has helped the contact "stitch" pain under my left rib cage as well. Some people I know who are in it, say they can even eat pizza and ice cream that they couldn't before. Just keep being persistent and find a good gastro or colon doctor who is right for you. Keep us posted.
