DP has been suffering with IBS symptoms for as long as I can remember. He’s tried everything and changed his diet but nothing has helped. He lives on immodiums like they’re going out of fashion. He spends half his life in the toilet as we can’t go out often as he worries about being caught short, especially as we live in a high traffic area.
He’s also permanently tired no matter how much he sleeps. He falls asleep briefly whenever he sits down which again means we can’t do much with the children as he’s either too tired to drive or doesn’t have the energy to play with them. He’s recently been waking all through the night unable to sleep, I wake up finding him crying because he’s so exhausted.
We haven’t had sex for over a year which I’ve gradually become resentful for as he knows it’s important to me. He just isn’t interested or we’ll attempt it and he’ll stop. It’s making me so unhappy I gave him an ultimatum to see a doctor or we’re over.
Hes has numerous blood tests recently and they have all come back clear for everything. No explanation for the tiredness or IBS at all. They have essentially washed their hands of him because it doesn’t show anything wrong.
Can anyone share their theories or any potential illnesses with these symptoms so we can arrange private testing elsewhere please?
