While I was pregnant with DD I developed lots of food intolerances and a very sensitive gut. This was 2 years ago and I still can't eat wheat, dairy, soya or yeast without awful cramps, wind, bloating, alternating diarrhoea/constipation etc etc.
Recently I've had pains in my lower left abdomen which are much worse after eating and keep me awake at night sometimes.
I've just seen the doctor and he's prescribed Merbentyl and said I've got IBS.
That's fine if that is the case but I was kind of expecting something else, maybe a colonoscopy perhaps? There is a history of colon problems in the family including colon cancer. I'm not suggesting this is anything as serious as that but shouldn't it be ruled out?
Am I being overconcerned?
