I have always had a history of stomach pain/problems as a child I took pills to relax my colon since they said I had a spastic colon/IBS. It seemed to work and I went years without major problems. Some years ago now I started having issues but nothing to bad or serious in terms of pain. But anymore I get such pain and I am nauseous and gasey everyday and some days I actually have to stay home from work since moving makes it worse. I have learned to deal with it and I can tell whether I need to stay home or if I can move around I make it to work. I have tried cutting typical triggers from my diet and it helped a little but not near enough, I have gotten to the point now that I don t plan anything major away from home or a bathroom as I never know when I will feel ill and I can t exercise properly anymore as running or harsh activity (such as going up large hills or lifting weights) makes me feel ill. I take ranitadine (150mg 2x a day) and that seems to help with the acid/heartburn but not always the pain nausea or loose stool/constipation. I have never gotten a doctor to do any procedure such as colonoscopy or anything as I am always told its just acid reflux and IBS. Is there anything else I could do??!!
