Alex’s Personal Story: Chronic IBS and Functional GI Disorders
Hi, I’m Alex, Male 25 yrs. I would like my story about my sufferings from GI disorders.
I still remember the day when it all started, all of a sudden. It was a fine day in the year 2008 & I was in my high school then at that time. Everything was fine before the break. I had my snacks and after some 30 min I felt huge rumbling in my stomach. Within few minutes, I had developed a huge tummy and it felt very heavy. I had to use lavatory for 5 times that day. Since then my life got ruined as despite controlling my diet, I had diarroehaic tendency along with huge gas production along with flatulence. I developed phobia going outside and had to use toilet several times before going out of my home.
As years passed by, my disorders have worsened as STILL now, I suffer from repeated stomach upset, bloating, severe gastric pain in chest and back with dairrhoaic stools. I have consulted almost all renowned GI specialists throughout the country and undergone complete diagnostics, which indicated that I have IBS and GI functional disorders. All these have made me very depressed over the years as I am unable to regain a good health. I live alone and I guess all these nuisance gives me anxiety which aggravates the problem. In some instances, the gastric pain radiates in my chest and I feel I am doomed as I m having heart attack. However, my cardio reports are always normal & as per cardiologists, it is due to gas that I feel palpitations.
I am open to any suggestion help or sharing in this matter. I kindly request anyone to feel free to suggest me and help me.
