One thing after another!

[Gee]

So you're not getting any real life help at this time?

No I’m not 100% what else to try, I did think of starting hypnosis but it’s just expensive at about £80 an hour - I self help where I can, exercise a lot and read to try and relax etc
I could start the CBT again and try but there is a waiting list and last time the woman actually just kept giving me reassurance which is kind of not the point much as it helps a bit at the time I guess! X

You can certainly go for CBT again or try one on one therapy and while I understand your trepidation concerning meds, they've been a live saver for many so they shouldn't be discounted. There are no magic words and reassurance isn't a fix. There is the FREE CBT here but you have to be in the right place mentally to put in the work.

Ahh hun I’m right with you!! I was doing ok last 2 weeks but had constipation last few days, followed by diarrhea today, it’s really stressing me out. Going to try and see gp tomorrow and see if I can get a referral

I had:
*Diahrrea lasting weeks
* proper blood with stool a few occasions.
* loud stomach
* loose stools


Had a blood test which was normal...stool test which was normal...And eventually had a CT colonoscopy (colonography) which was normal and no polyp or lesions seen.


I still have some of these symptoms from time to time but I guess that's what IBS is.
