He was very good Laura I hafta say. He did say u cant b tested for ibs. It's more a case of ruling everything else out n being left with only that as an answer. So he wants me to go n talk to the professor before being tested so he can do a series of tests including a colonoscopy and biopsy n bloods to find what's causing my problems.

Yea I just need to get it diagnosed n a prescription for when it's triggered n causing pain.
I also spoke to him about my weight n how iv been stumped at 2stone gone since 6 months ago n while he said the only real way to lose weight is eat less, obviously, he is sending me for bloods to check my thyroid, my female hormone levels, my glucose levels n something else that I can't remember n can't read
So I'm glad I went n annoyed I left it so long....

Thanks girls. Well he's sending to James fir bloods. To mount Carmel for consultation n biopsy n colonoscopy. N to a fertility clinic for more tests.... Hopefully will get answers soon
Hey hon. Glad you got great results.
Im out the other end of the "ruling out everything so you prob definately have IBS". Done the colonoscophy, endoscopy, small bowel follow thru (yuck), different xray type things, various blood tests and thats it im done... IBS.... Probably definately!
So its great you're on that track.....And fertility clinic is great news-no harm to get these things checked out.....
And great about thyroid etc... He sounds great... It makes such a difference. My doctor is brilliant aswel and even though he's a man i feel so at ease with him...
Fingers crossed it all goes well for you hon...
Also not sure if he explained to you or if you know already... If your constipated (which you clearly are if you havn't gone in 3.5 weeks), this is what's called overflow.... So its not that you've swing necessarily to the other extreme (diarrohea). Infact your prob still 'backed up' (for the want of a better term) its just your bodies way of coping..... Sorry if its TMI but sometimes i think it helps to know whats going on.....

Yea been constipated for weeks.. Its awful.. Then the white pasta last week near killed me!!! Been taking Colpermine the last few days and it is working.. Slowly.. Very slowly.. But it is getting things moving.. But if I miss a day of taking it the pain n bloating starts again.. Which clearly isn't right!!Hey hon. Glad you got great results.

Then today at about 3ish I had to RUN to the loo and the diarrohea started... It was AWFUL.. Especially since I was in work!! Luckily there's the empty floors otherwise I'd have left the office n gone home..
Such a relief just knowing i'm going to get answers now, finally!!
He's a great doc.. He's not my own doctor.. My doctor doesn't sit tonight but that's why I went.. I knew he wouldn't be there.. He puts EVERYTHING down to diet!! I cud go in with my leg hanging off and he'd tell me it was coz my "plates not colourful enough"
I mean I know diet has allot to do how we feel and how our bodies function.. But its not the be all and end all... And last time I went to him about my bloating n loo issues that's ALL he went on about.. Which I suppose is half the reason I left it so long...

I'm not surprised. Do not doctors not realise that if you have a bad visit it will stop you from going back. Which is not a good thing! I agree that everyone should try and be healthy but ya there's alot more going on in our bodies....
Glad you got a good guy then. It'll be great to start getting something done about it all....

Yea he was really good.. It was him I wanted as my doc surgery but his patient list was full.. So I registered with the other bloke coz they see each others patients as they work consecutive days
Cheeky I know but good doctors are hard to come by!! Our family doctor misdiagnosed so many people she shud b struck off!!

I know im actually registered with the other doc in surgery but always go to Adrian and my friend is registered with Adrian but prefers the other guy. We always said if they ever split thatn we'd just swap doctors!! My doctor is the doctor for my service users at work aswel so when i was bad withmy back he knew exactly what i was dealing with cos he knows my service users where as trying to explain the day-in-day-out stuff in my job can be difficult sometimes and why it causes pain....
Fingers crossed anyway hon. x

I got quite hungry come bed time and it was quite late so didn't want to eat then but this morning I am LEPPING with hunger.. So have had my brekkie already.. Yum And have fruit to have during the morning so hopefully will be another 100% day today

Oh I always usually have a snack before bed hon - never does me any harm and it definitely helps keep the hunger off in the morning (considering I'm usaully up at half 6 or 7 and have to drive an hour to work LOL). Lot of the time my brekkie is at around 10am at my desk. What did ya have hon? I'm working from home and still deciding what to eat... hmm...

I never usually have anything after dinner.. But not coz I think it'll harm my losses or anything.. Because usually after i've had a good dinner I don't be hungry til morning..
Last night I had a yummy dinner but it was carb free and I s'pose that's probably why I was hungry later on.. If it hadn't been so late I'd have had something small but it was after 10:30pm and it'd have just lay in my stomach and made me feel bla this morning..
I was going to have porridge.. but I couldn't open the container I keep it in!!! Its stuck!! ha ha.. So I had weetabix instead..
I have fresh strawberries, mandarins, an orange and a banana for snacking on during the day so should be OK
And I'll keep the coffee flowing lol

Ah for a minute I thought you were gonna be one of those "I don't eat after 6" people. Which is madness because I don't get home till half 6 from work - I'd end up with no dinner LOL.
Oh yeah carb free dinner sounds healthy - if it hadn't been so late a piece of wholemeal bread or toast would've been good eh!? Mmm...
Hahaha!! The porridge is stuck oh noes! Weetabix... maybe I'll have that. Ooooh or maybe I'll make eggs or something warm?! I'm getting hungry thinking about it hehe.
There's like one black banana and a mouldy looking apple here - send me some of your yummy fruit

Ha no.. As soon as I made the conscious decision to not eat after a certain time I'd be starving as soon as it hit that time.. I'd never make that kind of decision.. If you're hungry, you're hungry. Eat!...
Its like every Monday I was coming to working thinking "I'm not having any crisps with my lunch this week. I don't need them to fill me, i'm just being greedy having them" Then come lunch time ALL I want is crisps...
This week I never made that decision and never even thought about it... And I haven't had crisps at all this week.. I even have some Walkers Lights in my drawer so I dont have full fat King.. I just don't want them.
Just got the following from the guy that owns the house:-
"Letter arrived all ok from the council. Our solicitor is back from holidays Monday. Council says the search register will be clear for the sale to continue in about 10 days. I will call you when its done"
