IBS: Stomach pain, fatigue and joint pain won't go away, Thoughts?
Dx as IBS and have tried numerous Dr , dietician , therapist , the abdominal pain , body fatique and joint painful won’t go away. Have had a flair up for 3 years now.
Ibguard, probiotics , activia … nothing helps .
Dx years ago with peptic ulcers and cauterized and put on rx which made me very sick. I now am experiencing throat burning and wondering if ulcers are now acting up. Costly procedure and can’t take rx.
Anyone have suggestions for any of this? Ulcers or abdominal pain
Every test possible with labs all ok . Only thing is my lab shows inflammation increased.

1 ReactionThroat burning may indicate GERD. GERD has causes which can be tested for. Most doctors treat the symptoms, not the causes. That has now become my standard for any health issue I have. I want to know what is causing it. If only the symptoms are treated and treatment ceases, symptoms can return. Treat the cause and your probability of recovery is far, far greater. That has been my experience.
Best to you. Getting answers is not always easy.
I was the same way for many years. 5 in fact. Tried everything and all kinds of doctors. Finally, I experimented with foods and that did the trick. No caffeine for me. That seems to have done me in. Also, instead of 10 pills a day for stuff like b-12, folic acid, etc., I take one-a-day. Big difference.
The answer is simple.... FIND WHAT WORKS FOR YOU! EXPERIMENT.

3 ReactionsI am happy for you . Nice to hear !!!
I Have paid dearly for IBS registered dietician low fod mat diet & did nothing but lost 35 lbs only thing which we knew was dairy.
I can’t tolerate pork so I stay away from them can’t seem to find out other things I don’t drink caffeine
Any advice?
I truly believe it was my meds. I was taking like 20 pills a day. Noone could tell me what to take and when. Got rid of like 10 with one-a-day. Big difference. I would experiment with any meds i was tasking. change time of day you take em. good luck.
I had overall body pain and inflammation before I was diagnosed with a wheat allergy. 3 months after stopping consumption of wheat I had lost weight and no longer experiencing overall joint pain

2 ReactionsI have 7 diagnoses over 20 tests even Mayo Clinic. 6 Gastro Drs in 2 states . Going to 7 th soon .
1000’s of deep wet belching , non stop churning gut and intestines daily and nightly.
I’ve done every single thing, but nothing has helped . I’m chronic.
Ruined my life last 10 years.
I do know I have Gastritis, Esophagitis, GERD , small hiatal hernia, diverticulosis, small non cancerous polyps on stomach lining , IBS - D . I’ve done all the elimination diets , I eat small and healthy. No caffeine, low sugar , little red meat, low dairy . No milk at all . Not celiac… no SIBO , no h phylori …
The gas inside me is beyond . It’s so loud and it’s on empty or digesting food . I even saw FM Dr , did all the supplements , did keto , gluten free . I’m a medical mystery, and miserable.
I’m sorry you are suffering too .
