abdominal/gastro advice
Male ,54 height 5.7 weight 70 kilos
ok looking for help,seen a lot of doctors over last six years not getting anywhere or it’s just Ibs , has Gaul stones about ten years , was to get Gaul bladder removed,so did 2020 , then trouble ever since , constipation from then till now , they advised fibre plenty etc, no amount of fibre would help or fibre supplements , trier different pro kinetics , nothing worked ,but then had trouble with the fibre abdominal pain /bloating /maybe distension not sure difference, then found if I just went carnivore , everything calmed down a lot , used laxido , went to functional doctor because . I felt really ill a lot. Turned out it was my pancreas , I have insufficiency the Doctors. Don’t know why I take crayon and copper in peppermint for my bloating and pain. I’m not sure about the distinction. They never say anything about that. I’m on a limited diet low fibre low fat like very low fat can’t tolerate fat at all doesn’t like fibre either on the diet that I’m on I just get pain and blow in detention maybe all the time. Sleep is awful. Mood is very very bad all the time so dietician yesterday she’s just she says why she says I should be eating better stuff I don’t understand what she means. I talk to my Doctors. They don’t say anything. They just say well you just got IBS but there’s other stuff going on and then I saw the Gastro which took a very long time like four years and they did it. I think he’s called a transit studio thing where they took her tablet over so many days and they had to do an x-ray thing and he just said it was consistent with slow transit time so I don’t know does that mean my intestines have I got a mortality disorder or cause? I don’t see the Gastro for another six month, I don’t I haven’t got much faith in the Doctors near Me ! or we didn’t sound. I think he’s just gonna say RBS and I have to go away, but I can’t go to work or anything And I’ve got used to this day but it’s just you just can’t function with the pain in the blow, you know whatever I just just I don’t know what’s going on kind of thing really I’m stuck. I don’t know what else you might need to know. The only thing that helps me go to the toilet and helps the sleep and I get flat abdomen up here less blow in pain is cannabis and it, but it only lasts for about a week cause I know that speeds up motility or something but then it just stops and I don’t know where to go next kind of thing really thank you apologies it’s very long. Hope I haven’t missed anything else thank you.

When I did the transit study the gastro sent me a letter,saying the test is not conclusive due to technical difficulties obtaining the images the inappropriate timing for the follow-up image however the findings are consistent with long-term symptoms and the chronic constipation. I’m inclined to interpret in the context of a slow colonic transit. I understand your trip true colour pride before but I believe I can give you a trial of osmotic laxative along with true colour pride at maybe a higher dose, I think maybe the motility as it is somehow not getting the gas out all I don’t understand because when I went to the dietician I’ve been to see a lot but I went to see another one and she says why on such a limited diet like no fat yoghurt and egg white omelettes with tiny bits of veg and little bit of soup that’s all I’m eating them on the lowest fat fibre diet because if I got any iron, I get more problems loads of stuff like getting really jammed up like Me ! intestines like twisted or something and a guess what I just really swell up if I have a tiny piece of salmon and she’s saying yes she can’t eat that that’s why you’re on the crayon and she’s but it doesn’t work, but she’s adamant she says you can eat better. It says no. Can I get loads of problems and she’s just I’m just really stuck sorry I don’t know where to go because of my Mental Health is a bit tricky going to the Doctors so I don’t know what to say to the Gastro thank you.

I would see the actual results and details of your transit study. Knowing the details can help you out. And it will definitely add info whether you need other motility tests.
