I've had intestine trouble my whole life, in my early 20s it became IBS, but didn't bother me too much.
After a series of disasters at airports (sunstroke-diarrhoea, winter vomiting virus-diarrhoea, SE Asia-diarrhoea and now terror of this happening again results in nervous diarrhoea) I'm terrified of going anywhere warm.
In the past 5 months my tummy has started bloating way worse than it does every single day, there seems to be no reason for it, I constantly feel ashamed, can't fit into my clothes, can't have a normal sex life and also get nauseous.
It stopped this and went back to it's normal bloatedness , being flat when I wake up, but now it's BACK, I look at least 6 months pregnant.
I'm 5"7 and about 8.5-9 stone, with a HUGE gut. Should I bother going to the doctors??
Will they just say some crap like 'eat more fibre' or 'it'll sort itself out'?
Can't live like this, I'm seriously considering telling them I'd rather just not have any intestines since they can't perform their sole function.
I'm not on any medication for IBS, I have antispasmodics and immodium which I only need on holiday
