Recurring and continuous abdominal pain, and other symptoms :(

[Hoppi2]

For the last 15 months -ish, I have been getting lots of weird digestive problems, starting suddenly last year. It all started with diarrhoea and excrutiating pain which came out of the blue, fainting, a feeling of fever. This then recurred periodically, and after some time I discovered it was caused by mayonnaise. However by then (around 12-13 months I had had skin thinning, body hair increase and male pattern hair loss :(

I have discovered that cooked eggs also trigger diarrhoea, and I also think I have an increase of general abdominal discomfort and pain, particularly after fatty food I think. Lots of wind, bloating, general discomfort. Thinking about it, I used to get these things more than most people even years ago (at only 16) but now it's suddenly become much worse, and back then I never established a dietary connection.

Anything else to mention.. erm.. oh, the pain is just abdominal, often in the lower left but it can spread all throughout the abdominal area after eating raw egg such as in mayonnaise.

I am already seeing my doctor but am very worried and confused - any help would be very much appreciated :)

Mike!

Thing is erm, I am never too keen on diagnoses such as IBS as all they are really doing is describing the symptoms, you know? I really want to know what's gone wrong ._.

Morning :)

I'm sorry for the pain your feeling it does sound very soar and I'm glad your going to doctor about it now for it hopefully to all be sorted.I think it actually sounds like
IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) IBS is one of the most common problems of the digestive system. It typically causes pain in the abdomen, bloating or an altered bowel habit. About one in six people in the UK have occasional symptoms. The symptoms basically are what you described so when you go to the doctor say to him you think it could be possible IBS and see what they can do to help you.

Good Luck.X
