Hello,
I've stumbled upon this forum after trying to do some research.
I've had bowel troubles from ever since I can remember, I first went to see a go ten years ago when I was 16 about tummy pains and problems but they just misdiagnosed this as period pains.
Over the last ten years my gp just says this is IBS and there is nothing you can do. About 3 years ago my pains/cramps/diarrhoea were getting so bad it was basically ruining my life, after being told there was nothing wrong with me I kept going back and finally saw a specialist they ran multiple tests and I also had a colonoscopy last year.
After tests and the colonoscopy they found nothing and told me there was nothing wrong with me. Over the last couple of months my symptoms have got so bad I'm taking immodium everyday weather I have diarrhoea or not, I find this is the only thing that seems to help prevent cramps. The drs won't help me anymore but I'm still in agonising pain every day. I've accepted that this will probably be my quality of life from now on as drs won't/can't do anything to help.
I thought I'd join to see if anyone has experienced anything similar with doctors giving up on them.
I'm female, 26 and live in the uk.
Thanks guys!
