Anyone heard of CFAP

[Monkeyboy1975]

Hi guys sorry about all the treads all over the place. I have asked the owners of this site to delete my account this is because i have been dx with IBS (even though i know i have not got IBS) and this would be the wrong forum for me and i would feel like i'm a fraud. You have all been fantastic and i really have took on board all the advice i have been given. I hope you all are well and get a diagnosis soon. I'm sorry to be leaving this forum. Anyway i have found this and this could be what i have due to no constipation or diarrhea. Dont let any doctor try to blame IBS if it could be this.

I hope this help's someone

I wish you all the luck in the world and send my prayers out to all of you.

Best wishes

As far as I'm aware we don't turn people away who have IBS or any other chronic gastro issue.

I have heard of antidepressants being used to help manage pain though. The problem I have with the link is it said there was no way to test for CFAP. Would be good if you continued to see your GI and make sure you get proper treatment even if finding the right diagnosis takes a long time.

Lol, half of us have been diagnosed with IBS. I am sure there exists not a single person in the undiagnosed club who hasn't been 'diagnosed' with IBS.

Keep fighting the good fight, if there's more wrong with you, you don't want to miss it. If you think there's more wrong with you, KEEP PUSHING.

Unless you've got diarreah, then you probably don't need to push very much... Wait, different push. My bad.

Hopefully that's all that's wrong with ya,
