I had lots of problems following an infection in January and February which I posted about here. Went through tons of tests and the only thing that was found was an elevated liver function test, but it since went back to normal. I had a CT scan that was normal. After that I seemed to improve for a few weeks. But in the last few days all the symptoms started coming back! Diarrhea every morning, indigestion, and my guts constantly bubbling and making popping and groaning sounds.

I called the doctor and she suggested I might have a form of “post infectious” IBS. She prescribed an antibiotic called rifaxamin. I hope it helps but I’m still worried. I’m back to googling and stressing about my symptoms! The doctor wants me to do a colonoscopy when the office is open again “just in case” so that made me stress more.

I hate the thought that I might have to live with this for the rest of my life. I know the anxiety makes it worse too. I’m not sure what to do. I just want to be normal.
