Brief Answer:
Think of IBS or specific colitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Male/50 - bloating - gets worse and worse as the day progresses - constant burning - severe reaction with cyclopam - sometimes the stomach seems to be in spasm - tried coolgut, cyclopam, superia dsr..- colonoscopy says mild colitis.
You can try Buscopan for pain in abdomen.
What sort of reaction do you get with cyclopam?
Since the symptoms are getting worse as the day progresses, it indicates role of stress and/or anxiety as major contributory factor.
Since your symptoms are of mild colitis you have to undergo or must have done with the tests of:
- Blood: CBC, sugar, thyroid and liver functions and others as may be necessary.
- Tests of urine.
-Tests of stool on 3 consecutive days- this will help to plan a proper treatment.
- Ultrasonography of the abdomen to start with an CT scan if needed.
If all the tests are negative (normal), this means that your may be suffering from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). Treatment accordingly will help you.
Proper treatment of the causative factors, of the disease will help you to get a cure.
I hope this answer helps you to get an early diagnosis and proper treatment.
Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
