Can someone please give me some advice?
I am living in the UK and I need some advice about what to do about my current health situation.
I have been ill for over a year now with stomach/digestive problems. I was told I had H pylori and that was treated but I was never re-tested for it.
My stomach problems remained after treatment and I was given various medications including lansoprazole and domperidone after the triple therapy for the h pylori seemed to fail.
My pain started as sharp pains that felt like really extreme hunger pains and got worse when i ate. I was also getting some bad lower ab discomfort which they put down to IBS but I am not 100% convinced it’s that. Since taking the domperidone the stomach pains that were sharp seemed to clear up but I am still getting lower discomfort. I was given blood tests and i tested positive on one thing for coeliac disease but the other thing they look for was negative so she pretty much dismissed that idea. The doctor did more blood tests but she seemed pretty much stumped and asked “so how much is this actually bothering you then?” and “what would you like me to do now?” If it wasn’t bothering me a great deal I wouldn’t have visited the doctor 10 times since september and paid for 9 different prescriptions!
Also last night i got a really bad pain in my stomach that is worse than ever. I hurt so much I couldn’t take deep breaths. It’s still a little sore this morning and hurting occasionally but I just don’t understand what it is. I am completely lost and don’t know what to do. My doctor doesn’t seem to be doing much to try and find out the cause except take blood samples and i’ve seen 7 or 8 different doctors about it so far because at my surgery you rarely get the same doctor unless you are willing to wait a while for appointments. Has anyone got any helpful advice on what I can do next because i feel like my doctor is giving up or even any ideas on what my illness could be due to past experience etc?
My symtoms are:
Lower ab discomfort, feels kinda sore
Sharp stabbing stomach pains (recentl started again after a few weeks break)
Loss of appetite
Irregular periods
Some days frequent use of the toilet but not diarrhea
Bloating
A horrible bile-like taste in the back of my throat
Did you not even read my question!!! Thats all i have been doing for gods sake! I was looking for peoples esperiences and advice not a diagnosis or a smart **** comment!
The doctor has done nothing except give me prescription after prescription for illnesses i dont even believe i have. I am so frsutrated. No one has even attemted to look at my actual stomach or anything to see what it looks like.
