Hi there.

I previously posted on the forum, as I was having regular flair ups since late last year every couple of months. My diet wasn't great, however I never had problems until last year. The flair ups would start with bad indigestion, constipation but wanting to empty bowels, then going to toilet a few times until the indigestion went. It would then be like a release and I felt better once I was sick, and had got the stools out. I felt sick, bit shivery and weak, and at the end it would turn into diarreah. These flair ups would last a day at atime, but the last flair up was around 4 days long and really bad in May time. Generally after the flair ups I'd go back to normal, but since the last flair up I have been pretty bad. I've had a sharp pain on the right side above my navel, and sharp pains on the right abdomen, it started like a nigglling pain but they're so much worse now, it's really sharp at times and more dull at other times. I've also been having terrible acid refluxindigestion last couple of months, andwith a sore tummy when I need to emply bowels, it'susually in the morning time.last couple of months, so I'm on Lansoprazole for that but last week I'm getting it much worse. It seems to be worse, in the morning when I need to go toilet but then I go, the indigestion and tummy gradually gets a bit better. I already have IBS, had it for a few yearsbut never expreinced this. It'shorrible when it comes on. The sharp pains are worrting me too, I only get them on the right handside and it's so sharp and noticable, I can't get on with my day without feeling them. It starts on bottom right hand side of navel, and goes all up my right abdomen, to under my breast bone. It's so hard to explain, and no one I've seen has these types of symptoms. I've also since april, been getting the smallest bit of blood in stool on approx, 5 occasions. It's barely noticble but I have been looking. The first time was in April, and I was so scared - it was like a maroon red color, but so small. Last time Inoticed was about a week ago, and again was tiny. I had bloods done a couple of months ago, and my CA125 was raised to 45, so I went for ultrasound and all came back normal, so I was so happy about that. Had another blood done a couple of weeks after and it went down to 41, so it's still over the threshold but the Dr is not concerned nowin that area. Idid have high placelets on my first FBC test -after my last flair up, but then they went back down to normal, so they weren't worried in the end aboutthat either. The Dr is saying it's now my gut/stomach so I'm having endescopy/colonoscopy 11th Sept. I feel like I've been waiting for so long to get to this point. I just want to know if anyone else had experienced what I've expereinced, or even a little of it. Or if any one has any ideas of what it could be? I find it so hard to explain my symptoms but it's affecting my daily life. I've changed al my diet, and I've eaten healthy for last three months. I am overweight, so it's good to lose the weight but I even worry that I'm losing weight quickly, even though my diets so much healthier now than it was. I don't eat fatty foods, drink alchohol etc.
