The last 2-3 weeks have been absolute hell for me and I really don’t know what to do. I have endometriosis, Raynaud’s and lupus already so I don’t want another illness really to add to the mix but I can’t help think I could have some kind of bowel disease from my symptoms. I have food intolerances (dairy and egg) if I have them I either vomit or have diarrhoea but recently I became constipated for just over a week I had nothing come out and was even struggling to pass wind. My doctor prescribed me laxido and has put them on repeat for me I ended up with diarrhoea from them and I tried to use less but as soon as I use even one sachet less my constipation and struggling to pass wind comes back.
I have intense bloating as well as stomach pains it makes me feel sick and I got to the point where I was nearly passing out due to my symptoms. I went to A&E as told by 111 they gave me an enema, this was last week I’ve had diarrhoea again so tried 3 sachets and all the constipation etc came back this week I have become so much weaker and I’m struggling to stay awake and keep weight on me. I eat mainly a vegan diet sticking to plain foods to relieve my stomach issues I’ve been on soft food/soups mainly since this started but nothing helps me it’s either diarrhoea from laxido or nothing!
Does anyone have any advice I’m really struggling with what to do? I’m used to going every day due to my diet but now it’s like I can’t do anything it’s impacting on my work, studies and I can’t leave the house due to pain. I feel like I’m constantly on the phone to the doctors and getting nowhere!

I’m waiting for my consultation with the specialist since the referral in September a flare up of lupus and endo landed me in hospital but due to Covid it seems like the waiting list is just so long they can’t say when I’ll be seen. I was given the depro injection as an interim “fix” but it’s hardly done anything at the moment all I am able to do is call and check progress on my waiting time
No they didn’t do one when I went to the hospital last week just gave me an enema and sent me back out - do you think I should ask my GP to refer me for one?
I was sick for a couple of years and doctors had no clue after dozens of specialists. Diagnosed with an Autoimmune disease, had scans, MRI’s etc.... also food intolerances and gastritis, and just sick all the time. I lost a ton of weight and couldn’t eat most foods.
Had them removed just 2 weeks ago. Already noticed a difference!
You may not have them but just thought after reading all your symptoms it may be the cause and wanted to let you know. Doctors don’t recognize it but it’s real and hundreds of thousands of woman can testify to having it and feeling better after having explant surgery.
Thank you for all the information there I really appreciate it but unfortunately I don’t have implants I’ve had no surgery like this only medical stuff like removing endo, tonsils out and ear surgery as a kid for hearing issues
Hi leenie I have a rare autoimmune syndrome also I am gluten intolerant which I sorted out myself. I have regular colonoscopies and just becos my last one was ok they went by that when I saw gastric boss. I said I need one things are not right. Ok she said. They removed 13 polyps in one go and removed another 7 bit later. SO you just don’t know. I do hope you get sorted out very soon, wish I could help you even more, good luck x
Thank you so much for your info I will defo push the doctors to get some resolution to this as I know something isn’t right. I hope you’re doing okay now after they removed everything x
