IBS Comorbidities

I have quite a twisted pelvis. My right side is fairly straight, but the pelvic bone just out a lot on the left. One leg at least one inch longer than the other, and my spine where it enters the pelvic region is slightly twisted in a leftward curve. The muscle on the right side of my waist area is huge and the one on the left is shrunken, so on the left side my ribcage is very close to my pelvic bone.
When I wear winter clothes the misalignment is not too obvious, but is visible when I wear light clothing.
It does cause some discomfort and aches every day, but some days much less than others, and it doesn't stop me from exercising: walks, working on processing firewood, outdoor maintenance jobs, etc.

I was also diagnosed in 2018 by a neurologist with an atypical form of migraine which causes scintillating visual light displays, and some weird symptoms, but hardly anything in the way of a headache.


I guess both things could be connected with my IBS. The atypical migraine-thing comes and goes, and that might be why my IBS comes and goes and isn't a constant thing either.
The pelvic misalignment may irritate nerves possibly in the bowel area.

Other than that I am very healthy and don't have any other things wrong and I'm not on any medication for anything. BP ok, cholesterol ok, sugar levels fine...etc

I was diagnosed with haemochromatosis in 2023. GP told me this was the reason for my IBSd symptoms . However haematology consultant informed me it wasn't. I do feel that it is responsible for these symptoms.

I’ve also got Chronic kidney disease (CKD), brain cavernous haemangeomas (Cavernomas), migraine, depression, dairy/gluten/artificial sweetener intolerance, diarrhoea, GERD…
Cholesterol starting to climb but can’t take the meds as they contain sweetener! BP/sugar/electrolytes/etc all ok.

I tried the gluten/dairy free diet about 10/12 years ago on my own. Without a doctor’s help. It was hard at first, as I was in a foreign country and there were lots of hiccoughs due to not knowing what was on the label/the language barrier! But I felt much better. So I carried on and eventually got better.
The CKD I found out about 4 years ago when I went to hospital for a short time. The doctor there made a referral to it, though I had no clue what he meant. I’ve no idea why my kidneys have started to give up the ghost, but they’re over 50% good atm 🙂. I hope they stay healthy and I don’t end up on dialysis 😢
