Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Need advice. Am really lost.

wow Elorra.. your case sounds exactly like mine :S

Mine started oct. 2005 with some white blood cells in my urine..me being a guy it puzzled the doctors and the culture came out negative (and I had pain below the belly button)

So they gave me flagyl which after the 2nd pill I've been nauseated 24/7 like you said. I had a HIDA scan as well, and they removed it (I thought everything was solved there) but of course like you I'm still screwed.

I was convinced it had to be something kidney related or SOMETHING that was causing constant nausea and pain on my left side and the colonoscopy/endoscope was negative..even had a systoscope.

Last week I went to the ER room and the 3rd ct scan was negative so they're thinkings it's plain old IBS. I've been trying to work through this but the last week I missed two days of work and I'm worried I won't be able to continue to work :S

The ONLY time I feel semi-decent with minimal nausea is when I do magnesium citrate/ducolax and completely clean out, I know this isn't healthy and i've only done it a few times for procedures but they say nausea is common with spastic colon (where the colon just sucks water from the stool) so i'm doing fiber right now praying it works, I guess I responded to tell you you're not alone i'm suffering big time.. no social life no nothing for 3 years now - just fight the fight, hit water and fiber hard and try some magnesium citrate one weekend with a ducolax and then nothing but fiber and healthy foods I guess. Maybe ask your doctor for some anti-nausea pills/spastic colon pills. Even a hint of spastic colon when mine started causes major nausea, we just have to train our systems to work normally again somehow.

hang in there :S
