Stomach disorder

Blue angel 3

I have the most wonderful adult  son kind generous and beautiful.  He was diagnosed with Aspergers as a child   Alll his life he has suffered server stomach pains as a baby it was colic as a child it was anxiety now it’s IBS  he has no life we, e had test after test and yet still he goes through this almost daily my GP now tells him it’s his brain telling his gut  he can’t go out because he never knows when he’s going to get a flare up I think we have tried every pill and potion the NHS has to offer  I can’t watch him suffer like this having constant pain and no life  I’m thinking of trying to get him a private capsule endoscopy. I’m just wondering if any one suffers this way too

  • My General Practitioner used those exact words for years. It all in your head he kept saying and i had to fight to see a gastrologist who later diagnosed me with a rare autoimmune disease as well as Chronic Bile acid Malabsorption, Crohn's Disease in my small intestine and Gastroesophageal reflux disease. I have dad an endoscopy twice and they didn't go further into my intestines to find what was wrong. regular Stool samples came back negative until they performed other irregular test on my stool, in the end they had to me take some awful taking fluid and scanned me entire stomach where they found the problems. 

    What medication has he tried, Has the doctor prescribed Cholestyramine it might be Bile Acid Malabsorption if so its really difficult to get diagnosed the only way to get it diagnosed it to go through the same scan i had to go through.
