Looking for people who have been through similar. I have had IBS since I was a teen, I'm 29, had a c-section 17 months ago, the surgeon said he may have damaged my bowel as he had to double fold it back during the op, I never got anything in writing, I had only just had surgery when he told me and was amped on painkillers so I didn't question as hard as I should have. Pals have done nothing so far on that front. It is worth noting I have a CPTSD diagnosis and I am aware that this condition can have gastrointestinal symptoms.
I've had bleeding whenever I take antibiotics, like oh god nope I'm going straight to A&E level bleeding 3 times now since Jan. A stomach dr in A&E back in Feb said she believes I possibly have IBD but.... I had a colonoscopy with biopsies, and it was all clear. The GI at the time said you probably have IBS.
My iron came in low as it has done for years but I cannot tolerate iron tablets as they make me bleed, I am anaemic at the moment, I'm also b12 deficient and on injections. I've got pain everytime I eat, upper right hand side and middle, the obvious IBS symptoms, fluctuating from constipated to loose all the time.
I've kept a food diary and so far diet seems to have little impact on my symptoms. I have also had a coeliac screen and it came back negative..
My calprotectin test came back positive for inflammation at 117 4 weeks ago and I just tested positive on a FIT test (bleeding in Gi tract) and got my GI referral fast tracked on the 2 week pathway, in anyone's previous experience, anyone got the faintest clue if what I'm experiencing is IBS? It seems worse than that. Just looking for reassurance I suppose.
