As you may know I had the same and ended up being diagnosed with Crohn's disease.

I would push the doc for some more tests as they fobbed me off for 2 years saying it was anxiety etc

[amandaj]

i will do thank you nicola , did you have any other other symptoms

[nomorepanic]

The main issue was constant diarrohea which led to piles that bled.

I was also permanently bloated.

The other thing you could try is a low fibre diet - they put me on that and I am currently on a no-fibre diet!

[amandaj]

i know you been really ill with it also ,hope your feeling a bit better

[amandaj]

hi nicola did you have a shilling test to see what it was

[nomorepanic]

I went to see a consultant to look at the piles cos they were causing me grief. He took one look up my behind and said it was very very imflammed and did a biopsy.

I was then referred for a sigmoidoscopy and the rest is history as they say.

I am not so good at the moment but thanks for asking.

[amandaj]

thank you all who replied on this last night think a definate trip to the drs is in order
