I should have put symptoms in! Change of bowel habit from pretty much constipated all my life to a mix of that but now lots of loose stools. Wind wind wind, I'm full of gas, you can hear my stomach all night which is keeping me awake it's horrible. The wind is definitely the worse, I can feel it trapped trying to come up after I've eaten - indigestion and then it moves to the other end later on. Starting the tests today and terrified 

Hi everyone, I am really worried about my symptoms. I have lower left pain in my abdomen, for a few weeks now, comes and goes, feel pretty terrible at night , gassy and uncomfortable. I had FIT done witch was negative, abdomen and trans scan, both ok, blood tests ok, but calprotectin level at 87. Also confirmed helicobactor diagnosis. My worry is since having all there tests done and higher calprotectin my bowels have got worst, I am checking my symptoms all the time and every day I seem to get a new one. I can hardly sleep at night and get gassy as soon as I swallow my food. Would aprcieatw if anyone could give me some advice or had similar symptoms . 

Hi Ana

Have you had treatment for the helicobactor? You sound the same as me but further on with tests :(

I only started it recently, since you have to take 2 lots of antibiotics I was worried I was going to be sick while at work. I feel worse now then before I started the tests process, anxiety through the roof new symptoms etc.. not had a good night for ages, just gassy and in pain in lower left abdomen on and  off . Feels like being stuck in limbo at the moment, hope you are coping better Bubbles x 

I really hope the meds start working Ana, it's so stressful and I like you am not getting any sleep. I wonder if anxiety is making it worse for us both 

I have always been extremely anxious person, so I do hope thats the case in some way. X
