This is a very common condition. I was getting this long before i started cycling , for me they said it was the result of scar tissue formed from a vesectomy a few years earlier. I was told to wear underwear that was more supportive . Also the position of the seat on your bike could be causing...

Hi There Ive had three colonoscopies and never had any issues afterwards . The first time i was flaring badly so it was not pleasant but bearable. If it means getting to the source of your problem i would think it would be worth it. The prep is not that bad and If your having D all the time...

Yeah that would be the same for me, I wouldn't worry it will soon stop. Im doin mine tomorrow as Im goin in on friday morning, not looking forward to it but i can only hope they find the cause.

That's amazing news , just love it when some actually gets relief from this. Good luck and long may it last .

Thanks 2thfairy I have been told that i will get relief from this even if it is not inflamed. That would be so good. My own doctor told me some time ago that they would not take it out in case of adhesions but what is the choice I asked him ,to have pain everyday or have a chance of some relief...

So i got a letter the other day to say i was going in to hospital on friday for some investigative surgery plus a colonoscopy .Needless to say i was both excited and a bit concerned since my doctor hasnt spoken to me about this . So i phoned the hospital this morning and was put to the...

Fried food is a trigger for me, so chips are out Im afraid. I hate food diaries !

At this stage I would nearly do the surgery my self ! I think i will ring and ask then again can be any worse. My doctor will only prescribe over the counter mere, it's like putting a band aid on a gun shot. What do they think we do I the months between appointments. Personally I am amazed at...

Thanks sarah, I don't know what to think about it all . I've had the run around now for three years. I think there grasping at straws as they never do anything consistantly so I don't honestly believe them . I think if they haven't got rid of you in a fixed time period then they do this. So...

Ok folks Got a letter yesterday to tell me Im going into hospital on Friday for investigative surgery. What is investigative surgery ? has anybody had thuis and if so what is the general out come ? I had a whole barrage of tests done about 8 weeks ago and have only been told they are waiting...

You know your farts are bad ; When you start to put Odour Eaters in your pants not your shoes !

Im sorry your having such a rotten time. Its very frustrating being in this situation. Ive been undiagnosed for three years , I gave up my musical career and took a job in a factory. I lost all commuinication with my long term musical friends and frankly gave up ever having a normal life again...

Hi Mandy I too have Crohns of the Ileum with inflammation in the LRQ. The meds for me took a few weeks to really have effect. This only slowed dowwn the bowel movements and less D. The pain never stops down there for me and I now take Amitriptyline for that. The exhaustion is perfectly normal...

Working long shifts will not help as i do them too . But working on a food diary can help get you some control and recognition of what will set you off. Not having the things we like is a real trade off for trying to feel normal but we get used to it. It does take some getting used too but...

Hi Cat It not nice to be diagnosed with anything but it will give you peace of mind and at least a direction to focus on. You will find loads of help and support on this forum as i have. Hope you get some relief soon. Peter

I totally understand. I got so fed up last week taking stopped taking my meds. Crazy I know but i needed a touch of reality or just how i got to this place. Well its been a few days now and i have chronic back pain and various areas of abdominal pain, constant headache and BM are up to 10 - 15...

Hi Mia yes we are from the same part of the world and yes we have seen the same GI. I sent you a PM. Ye i have been passed around a bit and im still getting the run around from the national health. Ithink im now just accepting that im going to feel like this everyday and until it gets much...

Sorry to hear you are having such a rough time, its not nice and very frustrating when they give no sure diagnosis. I too get sick when i eat , get real bad headaches and neck pain with bad abdominal pain. the fact is when we eat something goes wrong so should we be taken into hospital and...

Whoops its not very good is it.
