Since last Saturday, I have had bloating, gas, diarrhoea, not a big appetite, stomach pain etc.
Anyway, last week my symptoms were a lot worse, but over the last few days my symptoms have subsided a bit and they are not as bad. But I had a full count blood test which my Dr told me to have. The blood test came back fine apart from some dryness in the kidneys due to lack of fluids and eating.
My appetite has gotten a bit better, I am not feeling as nautious as I was last week, but I still have very mild nausia. I had diarrhoea in the morning yesterday, but today I haven't passed anything or even felt like going. The gas is still there and the stomach pain is not as bad either.
Anyway, I was just wondering why my doctor would be so reluctant to give me a scan. I have seen people on here who have had similar symptoms, but they say they have been for a scan or something similar.
I saw my doctor today as he told me last Friday to come back on Tuesday to see him again. I told him my symptoms had gotten a bit better and he told me he thought it was just a stomach bug I had picked up and told me to come back in a week or so if it doesn't get a lot better than it is.
I did not want to ask for a scan, but should he have at least mentioned it or would he only send me if it was a lot worse?
Thanks, and sorry guys I keep mentioning this, but It's bugging (no pun intended) me.
