@jlharsh my husband's doctor Who is a gastroenterologist specialist told him to just treat it as IBS and eat small meals and gave him laxatives and said that's all they can do for him and didn't even make a follow-up appointment. His colon is so painful and tight that he can barely eat or drink anything and he's rapidly dropping weight, we're both scared. I'm trying to get him into a doctor that's a MD that has 55 years of experience and also uses natural medicine. I would like to have suggestions as to what he can do and take to help his situation, I thought about an Osteopath but there seems to be very few and they say they just help the body overall and will not tell me if they've helped this stomach problem before. I'm open to suggestions and would love to hear other people's experiences that have dealt with this. It seems to be getting worse daily. We are living a nightmare, especially my husband. Today I saw him eat a tiny tangerine and a small handful of blueberries, he says it's getting worse daily and very painful so he avoids eating and drinking and he can't sleep good at night due to the pain. I'm scared and desperate. I'm trying different homeopathies. I'm sure this must stem from his moped accident when he was 20 years old and it crushed his chest and he has a hard tumor in the center of his chest and a fatty tumor that's quite large on his side .
