I have diverticulosis, IBS-D , Hiatal Hernia, Gastritis, Esophagitis, GERD, small polyps non cancerous on stomach lining , 1000’s deep wet belching daily , non stop churning gut .
10 long years, tried everything under the sun . On 5 th Gastro Dr .
Going to get my 4 th colonoscopy & endoscopy next week .
Ugh every day is a horrible struggle .
Nothing helps me . I live on Ultra Pepto . Nothing else works . That doesn’t even work much anymore.
It’s definitely depressing.
I hope you get some answers.

please @rozy288, after your colonoscopy & endoscopy next week tell us what was found out if you a willing. interested with what is found & what doctor is going to do for you. d

Reading your words I thought it was me. I have everything you mentioned except the polyps. I have something called crushed glass polyps in my lungs. Twenty-one of them. I am 82 years young and have been suffering with IBS-D since my thirties. I do take Dicyclomine (Bentyl) for the pain. Had colonoscopies every five years since age 33. Nothing ever found. Many biopsies during endoscopies for Celiac, also negative. Although I have been gluten free for 12 years. I do get horrible diarrhea if I eat wheat. I also have a rare condition called CVID. (boy in the bubble, but not as bad). We have very low IgG, IgA, and IgM. I do blood plasma infusions to get other people's antiobodies. I wasn't diagnosed until age 65. A lot of people with low IgA, have gastric issues but gastro's very seldom think of testing for low gamma globulin. I even have an app on my phone called We Can't Wait, it finds bathrooms in the area where you are. For those of you that have IBS-D, not fun on long drives.
