Identifying an intolerance?

Hello! I have finally decided enough is enough and need to get to the bottom of my constant bowel problems. I suffer with cramping, diahorrea (sometimes rather aggressive) stomach pain, urgent visits etc. I can often feel food moving through my digestive tract and there seem to be sensitive spots sometimes. However, this is not constant. I seem too have had it on and off for years. Its only now, symptom logging for TTC I realise I put diahorrea in almost every day! (Though I do have bouts of constipation too.)

I have several friends with uc and I don't think I've got anything as bad as them... No mucus or blood etc.

I have previously found an intolerance to eggs but it comes and goes. Sometimes I'm fine with them, other times its best not to leave the house. In my family there is an allergy to the carrot/celery/parsley family, but nothing else.

My question is this... How can I go about identifying what it is? Has anyone got a meal plan or something which allows them to identify it, by elimination etc?

I do have some mebeverine but can't really use it as I never know what will set it off, and don't want to take it unecessarily.

Please help!

Oh, to avoid drip feeding, I had part I'd bowel removed as a baby as it was blocked.

I think that you should go and see your doctor and ask to be referred to a gastroenterologist, given your history of bowel blockage as a baby.

You should definitely have a coeliac test, for starters.

Oh dear. Sad Doctors it is then!

Thank you for your advice. Smile
