I went through something like that for 8 years before a GI doctor finally took a microscopic sample and discovered my lymphocytic (microscopic) colitis...it cannot be seen in a normal colonoscopy. It's not fun to have, but it turned out to be none of the food allergies, etc., that I thought I might have. Now, at least, I know it's not dairy products or celiac disease. I encourage you to make sure the doctor looks at a sample under a microscope if you haven't already.

Hi , Thanks .. I’ve had two colonoscopies in 8 years most recently last June w/ another endoscopy. They took a sample at the time which didn’t turn out to be anything. I’m diagnosed with all the things I listed above . Doesn’t change the fact no one can help me . I have extreme chronic violent loud churning along with over 3000-4000 deep wet belches day and night . As I said I’ve tried it all . If they do another endoscopy or colonoscopy, I’ll make sure they look under microscope 🔬 though . What is your treatment for that may I ask ? I’m desperately seeking help . I hope I get to Mayo Clinic Jacksonville soon . Thanks for responding . Rosemary
