Haemhorrhoid banding
Tc:
Jeeps. The endescopy was only a year ago and all was o.k. did you have upper tummy ultrasound?
don't panic that you are missing out on a diagnosis. I'm only saying about the upper scan as I think it will put your mind at rest. Try to remember that like me you've had a lot of scans and checks in the last year or so which is more than a lot of people know about their health.
I believe my IBS started after my wife died. And when it first started wind was one of the main features.
Bland diet. I havent done it yet. He said like the diet before colonoscopy. No wholegrains, spicy food etc. I need to look it up to see exactly how long to do it and exactly how to do it. I will let you know.
I have identified milk gives me diareah though. And weirdly I've been craving it so been having a big glass or a milkshake and gradually realised it.
.
I havent had good appetite on and off since my op. I never feel hungry in the evenings and have consistently not eaten dinner but since I've felt a bit better with anxiety and mood in the last week or so I actually felt hungry.
I hope the hypnotherapy helps calm your anxiety. Have you had it before?

Hi TC
No, I don''t think that I had an upper tummy ultrasound. I did have an abdo one, which scanned kidneys, pancreas, liver and gallbladder, which I'm pleased to say all looked fine (I remember the sonographer telling me I had a lovely looking gallbladder, as sometimes they are hard to see).
The wind always seems to start late afternoon.hmmm. But, thinking on it, it only got bad after the banding, so I don't know if that procedure has upset my guts further up.
I just read another thread where a lady is asking if utrogestan causes diarrhea, which made me start wondering if my looser bowels could be linked to that? I have been on a three day break and today, I had a really normal BM! I am so tempted to stay off it for a week, and see what happens, but I just don't know if that's a good idea (I didn't have a thickened endometrium when it was scanned, quite the opposite, so does that mean I have some wriggle room?)
The upper gastric burning and pain could just be anxiety, my first episode of gastritis kicked in big time following a massive anxiety attack.
Its hard to know what to think.
I have a follow up to the banding at the end of July, so perhaps I should just try to put everything all out of my mind until then (Easier said than done)
No, never tried hypnotherapy before, but TBH, I'm willing to try anything, as I don't feel like I'm living at all most of the time
Love to you
Jeeps :-)

Jeeps. The upper scan I mentioned is the one you have had my doc sent me b4 my colonoscopy/endoscopy as it looks at all the things you mentioned including the stomach. So you've had it. They told me I had fatty liver but all else was clear including stomach and it sounds Like the same can. So yours waaxclear too
Between us weve had every scan going!!!!
Much love xxx

Hi TC
Oh, I do hope so. I just feel so "not right". I know it might seem funny, but the wind is really getting me down. Its not painful, but there is so much of it. I was awake at 4.30 am with it. I read online that normal is passing about 20 times a day. For me its got to be at least 10 times that!
I do get some respite in the mornings after I go to the toilet, but then it builds back up again. Just gurgling at the moment. ( and pleased that my BMs seem normal at the moment... funny what makes us happy these days ;D)
And my appetite is just completely AWOL.
I try to imagine telling my 20 year old self about the woman she is to become, posting her bowel habits online for everyone to see.. you have to laugh sometimes !
Hypnotherapy today, hoping it will help
With love
Jeepers
