Hi, I am 70 years old grandmother. Something is very very wrong but I can't get appointment with GP.
In December I was having awful wind and constipation. By January changed to no wind and diarrhoea. Low abdominal pain just before pooing.
I put myself on Immodium on advice of daughter who has Ulcerative colitis. She also recommended eating eggs.
This helped somewhat. Not entirely. Then a few days ago my oesophagus problem flared up. I have had GERD for years. I have omeprazole for it. I also have difficulty swallowing at times.
The flare up was awful. I had a bowl of tomato soup for tea. Something I've eaten all my life. On this occasion it was like I had eaten fire. I can't describe the pain in my whole oesophagus, which continued for about 5 hours. I tried to ease it with cold water.
I feel like my whole digestive system has gone mad.
Then I read that Ovarian Cancer can cause nearly all my symptoms! Still can't get a dr in the flesh or on phone! I don't want to go to A & E but I need help.
I stopped the immodium for one day, now the diarrhoea is back. What shall I do?
