Is it IBS?
I have been going around my Gastroenterologist for a month now. I have been having problems with my stomach since a month. I was really fine before. For the first week, I had some minor stomach issues. Then, I had stomach pain which made me go and visit my doctor. I had my Endoscopy and Ultrasound and the results were normal. After that I got my blood work up and stool test, then the results turned out to be fine. I had the same problem for a few weeks. After I wake up, I feel that my stomach is messed up and I go to the restroom. After that, I feel normal all day except a few mins when I feel pain in the stomach. I also got my colonoscopy which had a normal study except that it mentioned that I had internal haemmorhoids. The doctor finally concluded that I have IBS. Do you think I should worry about something if I get minor stomach pain before going to the restroom when I wake up? If I eat outside food, my stomach is getting messed up.. i.e. more weird feeling in the stomach.
I have IBS & that's exactly what it sounds like. It's good that you had all of the necessary testing to rule out any potentially serious issue. It's sad to say, but unfortunately us people w/IBS are not going to have the best experience after eating out in a restaurant. We have to be more conscious of what we put in our mouths...because people w/IBS are more sensitive to certain types of foods. I would keep a log of what you eat for a few weeks. When you get a stomach ache, you can look back to your log to pinpoint what foods made you sick.
