I’m very concerned that they’re going to come back and say I’m fine.. I have severe anxiety regarding health as I have family members close to me who are riddled with chronic illnesses, but I think my biggest worry is they’re going to say I’m okay? I’ve had a good week where I’ve just had a bit of nausea and nothing else so I’m worked up that they will say I’m fine and then I’ll be stuck if I start feeling sick again. I know they wouldn’t order tests if they weren’t concerned but has anyone else felt like this?

Boy I am struggling with this diet! I knew it was going to suck and ofc I’ll do it because I really need these tests doing but how do you get through it??!
I work in a restaurant and the smell of all the food is killing me!

Under investigation, trying to find out what tracks and what’s best to hand over to my dr…
I’m experiencing both weight loss and weight gain, typically over a week, it’s mostly 7-8kg, one week I’m less one week I’m more, I think it’s lining up with my on and off constipation then diarrhoea /vomiting but I’m so foggy atm I can’t tell. Is this normal?

Hi guys! Anyone have experience having a colonoscopy with gas and air? Not sure what to think of it tbh I’m just nervous

Hi guys, quick query, does any form of IBD cause extreme pain in the lower back? It kills, when I walk or stand up or the motion to sit down really hurts. Feels like my muscles are completely tightened. Wondering if I should bring things up with my gastero team??

Hi guys, I’ve never really used Reddit before, nor have I ever made a post, but I feel like I have no where to turn.
I have a colonoscopy and mri booked for next week, I’m worried my tests are going to come back normal when I know in myself something isn’t right.
This all started around the beginning of June, I was having dreadful pains in my right side, originally assumed it was my appendix and my work sent me to a&e. I got there, they assumed my galbladder so I was checked for galstones, I didn’t have any. I spent 3 nights sleeping on a&e chairs with insane vommiting and dihaorea, I was eventually diagnosed with gastrointestionitis or however you spell it. (I apologise I’m not good with spelling) they said I had an infection that caused inflammation so I was sent home with antibiotics, I didn’t feel any better. I later find out from my gp (whom I’ve been in with about 15 times since) that I had severe food poisoning which led to the infection. However, my Calprotectin levels were a concern, and some other things they didn’t disclose so I was reffered to the gastero team to see about ibd. Since then I’ve developed various symptoms, abdominal pain, not in a set location it does vary, I can go days with constipation or days with the opposite, I have had blood, like turning the whole toilet bowl bright red blood, a lot of mucus (never had this before) different stool consistency/colours etc, nausea, vomiting, mouth ulcers, I drop weight quickly and then gain it back, feeling like I haven’t fully emptied my bowls, night sweats and constant discomfort. I’ve been on countless medications from the gp, but I did a FIT test and it came back normal, so were my bloods. I am so worried that my tests next week will come back normal and I will be left with no answers, my day to day life, my work, my sleep is all affected, I feel like my body is failing and I’m not sure what to do. Any advice would be very appreciated thank you :)))

I have mine next Saturday, my prep starts on Tuesday, what can I eat?! I’m terrified I’ll do this all wrong and have to go again but I’ve waited weeks for this appointment I don’t want to mess it up😭I’m also in work the day before when I have to drink all the stuff.. will I survive ?!
