Good morning to all,
I have been dealing with unknown intestinal ailments for almost 30 years. I am currently 45 and it has not been getting any better. I have spent countless days in hospitals, 100's of visits to DRs and yet they all come up with same anser. "You have 90% of symptoms for everything but not 100% for anything."
I wake up every morning in pain. It usually starts in my chest area and hurts when I breathe. During my morning constitutional the pain makes it way down my left side along my ribs down to my belt line. There is swelling at that point and it just continues to hurt, in fact the more I go the more it hurts. ( all bm )At that point the pain becomes so bad I usually have to head for 30 minute hot shower to settle down the muscles. It very rarely ever goes away and usually lasts most of the day. It is very difficult to eat and I have found I do not fair well with veggies, fruit, red meat, soda, and honestly the list goes on. I have been living on popsicles. I have an 18 year old son and now a 10 month old baby girl. I have tried almost everything under the sun and nothing seems to work. Prescriptions, Peppermint capsules, OTC meds, even diet control doesn't seem to work. I even ordered the Dual Cleanser but it warns do not use if stomach discomfort or diarehha. Again every medical test comes out empty. If anyone has any suggestions please do not hesitate. I am a strong Christian at 6' 188lbs but this is one battle I am not winning. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
Take care and God Bless,
Bob Reinecke
