Hi,Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.
Read and reviewed your query in context to your health concerns,despite USG,colonoscopy a year ago.Rule out Celiac Disease for Sure and also food intolerance to dairy products.
Dear as the tests don't show anything and still you suffer from pain in abdomen
under left ribs-it needs more Do's as follows-
Do's Suggested-
Consult Surgeon and get P/R anal examination to rule out causes of IBS-with GERD.
Consult Nutritionist if need be.
Plenty of fluids
High fibre diet with bland diet
Yoghurt helpings 2 times a day
Spinach soup-when in constipation
Sporlac- a probiotic to stabilize bacterial flora of colon
Tab Dicylcomine-1 x 2 times a day to control pains under ribs from Spastic Colon.
Continue with prilosec ,add domperidone-bowel prokinetic to keep the bowel moving with dicyclomine.
Prebiotic-apple cider vinegar spread on vegies use-to control gases and normalize bacterial flora.
Gradual change to solid loads,from BRAT And liquid rice Diet over initial 4 weeks followed with high fibre diet with spreads of vinegar, would give long remissions
Avoiding outside hotel spicy,non-veg, unhealthy food would give long controls and would prevent further treatment with antibiotics and other medicines.
Next appointment- for follow up-
Keep Me updated after 3 weeks or in case of emergency need.
