Thank You Matt for a very informative reply. I actually said to the Doctor during my appointment, why is it that when I come into the surgery alone, you appear to speak to me as though I have mental health related symptoms yet when my wife attends also, I'm treated totally different. I even asked if there was some kind of alert marker on my file...

Thank you for taking the time to reply Cycling lady. I can only sit back and wait now as I had the blood taken this morning, I'm sorry to hear your daughter is now suffering too, which reminds me that both my daughters now in their 20's have both been reporting digestive issues. One has even had to go Vegan, avoiding all gluten and dairy too to...

Hi Kareng Thank you for your reply, no I haven't been on a gluten free diet as such. I can only seem to tolerate two meals a day. I have porridge oats every morning followed by one 'normal meal' of an evening. I've been eating just a very basic chicken casserole for the best part of the week since the home test as it doesn't appear to upset my tummy...

Thank you for your advice Ravenwoodglass I shall pop over to the threads mentioned and have a good read this morning. I'm so glad that you have recovered to a degree of at least feeling better than did. I do love the sound of being able to heal as the thought of just a little respite at this moment seems so very far away. I shall try to remain...

Thanks you for your reply and support Awol, I now have a little more time to reply individually..... I think many practitioners hugely underestimate the effect and impact that a digestive condition can have on an individual. I was employed as a serving Police officer here in the UK for 15yrs before being retired against my will on medical grounds...

Thank you both for such a warm and understanding welcome. Sadly I visited my GP on friday armed with the test results of my home test kit which I was assured was 90+ percent reliable, but my GP replied that I'd had a test in the past which was negative. I explained that every time I ate something with wheat in it, my stomach would distend massively...

Hello everyone My story is pretty simple. I've had massive digestive issues since I was 16. I'm now 52. My late Mother and her Mother had both also suffered their entire lives, yet the condition was never diagnosed in either of them. Perhaps the worst symptom for me initially was huge distension (Bloating) which would often strike late evening,...
