I've had all the tests, colonscopy (2x), MRI's, catscans, endoscopy, small bowel series, xrays, etc. Nothing was found but a small case of gastritis. Yet I continue to swell and bloat and it's become VERY painful.
I recently went to an Osteopathic doctor who ran numerous tests. Allergy tests, took stool samples, etc. She's found that I'm allergic to numerous foods and have a raging yeast infection in my intestines.
I'm now on a very restricted diet and am taking some different supplements to try and kill the yeast off.
It's helped some and I've lost 6 lbs. I do still have pains from what I suspect is adhesions, but unfortunately can't find a doc who is willing to listen or check it out.
I'm very small framed but look like I'm 6 months pregnant.
Oh, doc also found that my immune system and adrenals are all out of whack. She said probably from the trauma of what I've been thru these last 3 years trying to find answers to my pain.
Good luck. Tummy problems on top of the adhesions are horrible.
