Undiagnosed pain, bowel obstruction, IBS-C, heartburn, upset stomach

Posted by elfergin @elfergin, Apr 11 12:15pm

I'm waiting for an appointment with Mayo (by the way, how long did it take you to get an appointment offer?) and these are my symptoms:

Bowel Obstruction when I was 4 years old

IBS-C (I take Linzess for this, max dose, and Miralax)

Heartburn, constantly, no matter if I eat or if I don't, no matter what I eat.. doesn't matter, everything gives me heartburn that radiates to my back. (I'm on a PPI for this supplemented with Pepcid/Prilosec)

Upset stomach - cramping, bloating

Has anyone had the same and gotten a diagnosis? I was checked for ulcers and gallbladder, both negative. I have gastritis.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Digestive Health Support Group.

Have you been checked for H-pylori or C-Diff? Has your doctor considered an antibiotic trial to see if it has any effect? Here is an article from Mayo that may help you get man answer.
