Gastritis with reflux.

Hi all. Started with epigastric pain last week, so automatically related it to my IBS. On diagnosis of reflux (which I have realised I may have had for a lot longer than I realised!), the doctor says it's not related to my IBS. However, I have had type 5 stools from a couple of days before the epigastric pain started.

Any similar stories? It could just be being ill does affect my IBS sometimes.

Thank you.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I get type 5 also, but not for 2 weeks. But doesn't seem to be related to the reflux.Now had an ultrasound, awaiting bloods and a helicobacter pylori test.
