Hi there,
I've only just joined. I'm 33 years old and as long as I can remember I've always had to go to the toilet after I eat something, but I've just lived with it, it wasn't that bad. But in the last year and a half, its gotten worse. In October 2011 I changed jobs and was a horrible stressful time as I got bullied by my manager, I started getting anxiety and panic attacks.
Since then, everytime I eat something, it goes right through me and I can be going to the toilet up to 15 times a day with diarrhea and I can't sit through a meal without having to excuse myself (its really embarrassing). I've lost about 2 stone in weight but not much compared to other stories I've read. I first went to my Doctor about this in June 2012 and I had various bloods, stool samples, and they came back showing that I had an inflammed blowel, so I had a colonoscopy on my large bowel and that came back fine, so they just assumed it was IBS. But then they took more blood tests and it showed that I had high bile acid levels so they have mentioned Bile Acid Malabsorption to me, but now I've had an GI check out my abdominal area and as soon as she touched my lower right side I was in pain, and been in pain ever since. I'm not sure if its always kinda been there without me paying attention to it or not. So I've now had an MRI scan on my small bowel last week and my Doctor seems to think everything is pointing to Crohns in my small bowel the terminal ileaum.
I should hopefully find out soon, as its like a dull ache on my lower right side and fed up going to the toilet ALL THE TIME, I should have shares in Andrex :ylol:
Every cloud, at least I'm gonna be a size 10 for my cousin's wedding next year at this rate :ylol:
Anyways I hope your all ok, its nice to know I'm not alone.
