Sorry your your in so much distress Most GI Doctor do an incredible job but ours is a disease of exclusion and there isn't a whole lot of time in an appointment to get things done. So it is on us to participate. For me "food is medicine" check out this brilliant blog https://www.ibsfree.net/news Also check out the work at Hopkins being done by Dr Jay Pasricha

I don’t know what Nessin? is. I’ve been seeing gastros, for years. The only diagnosis I get is: IBS C, diverticulitis, gastritis and the usual small polyps diverticular nothing that stands out up until October 2020..

Now, the pain I have is UNBEARABLE at times. My stomach can bloat so that I must “prop” it just to walk...& apparently my bowels are dead. No BM w/out linzess, amitiza or Trulance, and then it’s just explosive air and water

Erythromycin, a low dose, will stimulate bowel activity. I still have to use laxatives. Sorry, I sympathize!

Any one with helpful treatment/ suggestions.??

No diarrhea or constipation.
Brain fog, extreme fatique, stomach left sided pain, headaches .

Recurring SiBO … increased water & excersise
Wondering if motility issue???no past surgeries , no adhesions …
Thank you!!
