"Hey IBD community, sorry I have been very quite , been really really struggling a lot with my health and I honestly want to throw my stomach away 👍🏻Had my appointment with the GI doctor and had tests done , and they said they can’t see anything and no need to do further tests , feel like im back at square one again , just need some encouragement to keep going as I don’t trust doctors anymore
Xx"

  1. I hear ya and totally get it. Doctors look at the test results and it can be frustrating. Have you requested a colonoscopy? I'm curious if they tested for inflammation or calprotectin? Do you keep a food diary? Maybe try eliminating certain foods then reintroduce them one at a time to see how you feel after each.
    The pain is real and not in your head.
    Let us know how you get on.

  2. it’s so annoying isn’t it , so That was the first test I had , then I had camera down my throat , then they said they were going to do a capsule endoscopy but never did , and now going to get a second opinion I think and try new doctors xx

  3. Unfortunately we need to find a doctor or doctors that will listen so getting a second opinion is a good idea sometimes, sad but true.
