Hi,
5 years I’ve had terrible bloating and lower abdominal pain to the point where I can’t function many days. I’m a 27 yo guy and look like I’m nine months pregnant. It all started with intense pain in my lower left abdomen and heartburn in 2017. Then in 2018 it was suddenly bloating and dull lower abdominal pain. I do not have diarrhea or constipation, so most doctors have ruled out IBS. I’ve had positive breath tests but have lowered those with supplements and diet. Diverticulitis has been ruled out, as well as MCAS. I’ve had 9 endoscopies, 1 colonoscopy, and 1 ct- scan. I’ve only been diagnosed with esophigitis (EOE).
What tests should I ask for? I feel like I haven’t had much beside the endoscopy because of covid.
Do people have IBS without diarrhea or constipation?
