I saw my GI Dr. today and he has ordered some testing on me, he wants a CTA of my abdomen which will show the blood flow to my mesenteric and celiac arteries, but that isn't my confusion, everytime I have an attack, I always start out with a lot of unGodly pain, a normal BM followed by explosive D, he wants me to start Zelnorm. I told him I always have D and he asked me what my BM's would be like if I didn't eat fiber and I told him I probably wouldn't go, so that is what he's basing the trying the Zelnorm on?? Does this make sense to anyone? He also wants me to have a laporoscopy to check for endometrosis, I know what it is, but has anyone had that, endometrosis? I did a search and didn't find anything. He said since my pain is always prominent in the same area, he thinks I may have adhesions, due to my pregnancy, the IBS and just age??? I told him I have never been able to go past 27 days without having an attack. That was last month, this month I have already had 3.........Oh, well, any input would be greatly appreciated.
