My symptoms:
abdominal pain
alternating bowel movements
2 periods a month...completely sporadic
lower abdominal pain
mucus from rectum
fissures
a very large papillae
fatigue
nausea
random sleepiness
dizziness
pain under left rib
pain under right rib
pain in my left side(sigmoid colon)
bloating in my lower abdomen
ovarian cysts
sweat spells
I am only 29. I am a mother of three. I have been in and out of the hospital(not admitted), for almost 2 years now. I have all of these symptoms though some are not constant and some are. I am scared because I am now on my 4th round of "Hey try these pills and we will see if that works, in two more weeks". I am at a loss. I'm tired of being in pain and not able to live a normal life with my kids. I am currently working with a GI to try and figure things out but I feel like we are not getting anywhere. I have completely changed my diet. I now only eat organic and I am on a high fiber diet. I was taking 2 stool softeners a day, fiber supplement, a pill designed to regulate your digestive system, and a pill that creates bacteria in your colon that it may not be creating itself. I am now only taking one stool softener, wiping with cottonelle's and taking a pill for acid reflux. I have no pain above my lower rib cage. I am so lost and frustrated.If anyone has any suggestions or answers they would greatly be appreciated.
