Will keep this as brief as possible.
Any feedback is very much greatly received.
DH has been having problems with his stomach area for apx 2 years now.
Rewind 2 years....he was getting bloating, feeling full, pain in abdomen, loss of appetite and nausea (nausea mainly in the morning).
Went to the GP several times, was given several different types of medication but nothing helped. After 6 months, he was finally given a blood test and he tested positive to H pylori, which was then treated.
The H Pylori symptoms mainly cleared but the fullness feeling and pain continued.
The last 18 months he's visited the GP so many times (14+). He's been prescribed so many different types of medication (including medication for IBS), but nothing has improved.
Last month he was given an endoscopy (after pushing himself for a referral) which showed up nothing. His stomach all looked normal.
Bowl wise, all is normal. No diarrhea, no constipation, no blood/mucous etc.
He passes stools regularly, however, he does feel an urgency to go. Once he feels the "urge" to poo, he has to go swiftly iyswim.
He also finds is hard to pass wind. He's always been able to pass wind fine but the last 2 years he just can't pass wind very well at all. I think as a result, he has trapped wind pain, fullness, bloating etc.
After a full meal, it seems to take him a very, very long time to feel normal again. For example, if he has a large, cooked dinner at 3pm, by 6-7pm he'll still feel very, very "full."
He's generally tired and exhausted (but works long hours so understandable).
There's no pattern to the pain. It comes and goes through out the day. It doesn't ease or get worse after/before food. It's very much random.
Yesterday was a particularly bad day where as today, he feels it's much better.
He's a lovely husband and a wonderful father, our DC absolutely dote on him but this ongoing problem is making him utterly miserable. He's irritable, cross and fed up. He's been suffering every single day for 2 years now.
I suffer terribly with anxiety and I'm worried it's something awful
Please can someone help. I feel desperate.
