Want to give up

[Readmeastory]

I so tired of the pain and discomfort . No matter what I try nothing helps . Ended up inA&E 3weeks ago with severe pain . But no infection only concern they had was I had lost a lot of weight . But had all the tests and no cancer . Just slow. Track bowel diverticulitis . Sent home with buscopan and I’m on constella 290 . And laxido if I need it . . Just feel I’m fighting a losing battle. Pressure in my back passage and stomach bloated buscopan no help .just feel like giving up as can’t see it getting better . Got dietian tomorrow hope that helps but won’t hold my breath . Sorry for the long rant .

Sorry you are having such a hard time. Glad

Emergency didn’t find anything very serious, but I know the pain can be terrible.

Maybe try IBGard and experiment with what you are eating. Drink more water if you aren’t already doing that.

What is IBgard. Been seen by dietian and waiting for diet sheet and supplements as I've lost so much weight . I drink plenty of water . Thanks for you help. I just feel enough is enough . But try my best to carry on .

Going for a camera in my stomach on Monday maybe will get some answers . But I'm struggling and just had enough . But will try my best thanks for your concern 👍

Seen dietian she is giving me supplements for weight loss and diet sheet for low fibre . But suggest to go back to doctor and see if he can help . But fed up going to doctors. Thank you 😊

I'm so sorry for your pain and fully understand. I believe greatly in 'we are what we eat' so I feel this is down to not only diet but also our mental health. I'm just about to make my first appointment with a Dietician and I have every faith. Don't give up.

I've had the the camera into my bowel ,but they couldn't get very far up . Found I had loopy bowel and divertiulites. Had X-Ray and that came up slow track bowel . Going for camera into stomach on Monday . But on constellation 290 . But still very constipated . Doctors just blame stress seen dietian and to go on low fibre diet . But to be honest I've just had enough . Pain and feeling rotten . I don't no how people cope with this without screaming . As seems no matter what I do nothing works . Went from nomal person ,to a totally different one . Thanks for your concern .

I don’t know if you are in UK or US. In the US, there’s an over the counter medication calledIBGard. It’s Peppermint oil

Capsules. They say it can help. I haven’t tried it yet, but I should because I’m in pain

too. I also have slow transit and a redundant loopy colon. I hope the camera helps. I have pain a lot too. IBS is horrible. Good luck. Try relaxation and finding some small pleasures.

Thank you I live in Scotland . Been trying stomach massage . Will try peppermint oil as well . I can't believe how much people suffer with this . It's hard to cope sometimes . But saying how you feel on here helps . Reading other people's struggles make you feel at least someone understands. 😊
