My story so far...
Since birth I have been intolerant to diary. I'm now 30. I avoid it but know if I eat it I'll get D
The last few years I have been convinced I have more intolerances. I was thinking gluten. Sometimes I would eat food and become bloated with really bad tummy pains. It was live withable.
Fast forward... the last two months I have been experiencing my bloated tummy cramps more and more frequesntly. I am so tired all of the time for no reason. I thought it was time to go and see my GP.
I went and she was great. Pressed on my tummy which was very tender. Send me for lots of blood tests to rule everything out and a stool sample.
2 days ago I got the results.. I am slightly anemic, my stool sample came back with calprotectin at 274. She said it was an indication of IBD. She's sending me to a gastroenterologist.
Has anyone had similar experiences? What was the outcome. I'm really scared and worried. I genuinely didn't expect that result.
