For almost two years now I've had stomach problems. I was diagnosed with ibs - pain is around ribs so epigastric always. Had bowel issues with the pain aswell so did fit into ibs, had a ultrasound which showed the slightest inflammation in bile duct and doctors said probably my body was doing its job and ridding bad bacteria. They said the inflammation was so minimal. Everything else on the scan was normal. Bloods and stool tests have always been normal however since November I have battled nausea which I thought was anxiety induced, boy was I wrong. I've now developed the pain again (which always lasts about a month) but no bowel issues and this time nausea and vomiting. I'm sure the whole time I was experiencing 'anxiety induced nausea' was my stomach issues. Everytime I eat, I immediately get full and pain, with burping and bad nausea. I've vomited a few times during this flare but because I haven't been eating much it's coming out as basically bile. I am so incredibly scared that I have the dreaded C word. I feel so tired and weak, I have also lost weight but this has been ongoing since last summer and I thought it was because I started gym again, but friends and family have said it's drastic, which wouldn't make sense as I don't have the best diet and do love a good takeaway once or twice at most a week. Doctors have agreed to refer me to a gastroenterologist (FINALLY after begging for over a year) but once I do a pylori test - last years was negative but they said it's procedure that they get a negative before referring. Then that in itself is going to be a long wait. As I mentioned I am genuinely terrified I have stomach cancer as the pain and nausea is so so immense after food and doesn't actually get better until I'm hungry again, I feel normal when I have an empty stomach ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ I can never catch a break.
