Any thoughts on what this could be?

I’m going to try and make a gp appointment tomorrow as I’ve really been suffering this weekend. These symptoms have been worsening over the past year. Started with just the first one or two symptoms very infrequently to bone all of the symptoms flaring up almost weekly. I’ve not been able to eat anything at all this weekend without it going straight through me and causing cramps.

so the symptoms are:
abdo pain
cramps
bloating
feeling full
diarrhoea that comes on suddenly after eating (but normal stools in between bouts of whatever’s going on)
dry patchy skin on my face and red, swelling, itchy eyes that coincides with a flare up of whatever this is and takes a good few days to settle but hasn’t fully dissapeared in weeks

any ideas? I’ve had a ct with contrast previously (abdo and pelvis) and all was fine. I’ve had bloods done many months ago and all were fine. No idea what they checked.

it now seems to be happening more and more regularly and I’m sick of the pain, cramps and diarrhoea.

Could it be IBS

Coeliac? It’s possible to have a false negative blood test. You may need an endoscopy and biopsy to diagnose.

Could well be to do with food.

Start keeping a food diary, or even an in and out diary. See if the symptoms follow a pattern.

Lactose intolerance is quite common. Try buying a carton of lactose free milk and avoiding cheese etc for a week. No change, go back to normal food.
