Weight loss and muscle wastage in limbs, but overall weight gain in gut which looks like fluid. Distended, bloated, painful when sitting or laying on back. Fatigue. Im forced to eat soft food or energy drink. Have seen red blood twice if not dark poo..cannot poop unless i take laxatives. Then its loose output. Now getting dehydrated.
It started 5 Years ago mildly then progressive pain came on after covid jab in March. Going downhill now.
calprotectin test was ok, fit negative then qfit = 3, abdominal CT okay, virtual CT ok, ultrasound ok, gastroscrope ok, small bowel camera ok., Sigmoidscope ok. Tests conducted over 5 Years.
ive seen so many gps and specialists.
i paid to see a private gastroenterologist but to be honest, he was simply looking at my previous results. I told him im no longer anemic because ive been taking iron pills. He simply said its IBS and doesnt recommend colonoscopy. NHS wont do colonoscopy either becuase qfit and ct is normal. or 18 Months to get referal.
Im left in this dilemma. I think ive gone under the cancer radar..
Anyone else like this,?
