Misdiagnosis.... what can we do?
User Rating: / 0
My wife is 37 years old. She gave birth two sons and she has been diagnosed with IBS. She was told her condition is severe. In the last 9 years no medicine helped her situation, no improvement at all. She has severe inflammation in her large bowel with colitis. There is also moderate swelling with narrowing and scar tissue in the large bowel. The doctors we visited so far believes she has IBS and it can not be inflammatory bowel disease. Her family has record of inflammatory bowel disease with colon cancer. We do not know what she can do to get better. If she can not get proper treatment for what she has I am scared that it may turn into colon cancer. We do not think she has IBS after we made a research on different types of bowel disorders. Is it possible to have her examined?

I've been living with IBS since I was in my late 30's and now I am 44. My IBS symptoms are triggered by heavy work, food and personal matters. I've noticed IBS symptoms when I eat fast food, greasy and bready food. In 10 minutes, I start to feel unbearable pains in my stomach, and I feel running to the restroom. It happens so absurdly and frequently; I fee to excused when I live the table to go to the restroom to feel better. I figured out if I drin orang juice or eat slower I do not have that much pain so I am more careful about what I heat and how fast I eat.

I have learned to live with this illness and have been keeping notes on the foods that has an impact on my stomach and bladder. Hope this helps.
