Hi Nicky, Welcome to the forum! * hug * :) Take care!!

Hi RTM, * hug * I'm sort of in the same boat as you but you're further ahead than I am. I'm 30, have been diagnosed with IBS for years, but had severe symptoms for 2 weeks. Doctors seem completely clueless as to what it is and keep sending me home telling me to 'wait and see'. Anyway, I hope...

Hi guys, :) I've noticed a lot of people talking about eating slices of toast instead of bread. I've had these severe problems for 2 weeks now (I've had IBS in general for years) and yesterday I decided to up my calorie intake by adding bread to the basic soups I've been having, but this...

Thanks so much guys! I'll see if I can find a b-complex one and look for some curcumin too. :)

Clash - ah okay great point and thanks so much! :) Thank you MotherOfTwins! :)

Thanks Clash! I'll try to mention this but the particular doctor I'm seeing seems to be a little sensitive about other doctors giving me recommendations so she might get upset if I start questioning what she's going to discover in this blood test that will definitively indicate Crohn's. :D...

So sorry to hear that Astra. * warm hug * I hope they can help you!!!

Thanks so much Farmwife. * hug * I really do appreciate everyone taking the time to respond! I'm preparing myself for things like that to happen as thus far they've basically discovered absolutely nothing. My palpitations drive me crazy, yet the the many many ECGs they've done show my heart is...

Thanks again so much Astra! * hug * :) I've been looking at prices online which range wildly from £500 to £2200 (I'm not joking!). If I can find one for £400, I'll definitely take it up as I don't know how long I can go on feeling this lethargic. I know I'm throwing out hugs and smilies...

Thanks so much Clash!!! * hug * And Hi Astra - thank you too! It's wonderful to know someone close by who has experience with the NHS! The doctor I spoke to today suggested going private, but she said I'd need to do one thing that would cost £250 and then the scope would cost £500. Out of...

Hi guys, :) I'm new to the forum and was recently told that I could have a mild developing form of Crohn's disease but would have to wait 7 weeks or longer for a colonoscopy. I've been reading a lot of comments and you guys seem to encourage using the Curcumin tablets and multivitamins as...

Thanks again Earnellzwifey & especially Clash. * big hug * You guys have already been wonderfully helpful. From what I've been reading Crohn's genuinely seems like something doctor's remain pretty clueless about and find it even harder to diagnose. Clash - there's no doubt healthcare here in...

Thanks again Clash!!! :) I'm not sure what exactly they were testing for in my stool sample. They seemed to be under the impression I had food poisoning from the hotdog in the cinema so they were testing for bacteria to see if they were going to put me on antibiotics, but that came back showing...

Thanks again Clash! What is DX? :) As I just looked it up - diagnosis? :D

Thank you so much Clash. * hug * I was so exhausted with this yesterday that I burst into tears for the first time in a decade. My girlfriend was so shocked she cried too because she's seen me ill before and I'm just quiet and get on with things so she knew something was really wrong. I'm just...

Hi guys, :) I hope you're all well and I apologise in advance for the wall of text! Since I was twelve I had a grumbling appendix once a year. At 17 I finally had appendicitis and had it removed. Since then I developed different problems with various pains in my bowels, but during one...
