Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Help, I'm still confused

I too get pain in the lower right quadrant, and I have wondered if this was ovary-related. I am 32, and only was permitted to have a colonoscopy by my GI because I said I had blood in my stool. (Not sure if that's what I saw) He proceeded with the colonoscopy, and found nothing except "cryptitus" which is a medical term for inflammation. Of course (!) there was inflammation after the 24 hr violent cleaning out of my colon! He said "See you in 20 years" Didn't explain anything else, and was a little miffed I didn't want to take his prescription for D pills. I am going to my OB-GYN in July when I will ask her to do an ultrasound as my belly is always bloated, and I read that ovarian cysts/tumors can cause this symptom. I can look 9 months pg if I let it all hang out! You may want to do this same, and/or ask for the C 125 (?) test for elevated levels of white blood cells...I don't normally have much of an appetite either, do you become full very quickly? I'm not sure if I was any help....
