I was told years ago that I have IBS.. had an episode of an infection in my small intestine once (that I was diagnosed at er with) now it s gotten to where any time I eat no matter what or how much I get diarrhea, cramps, nausea, weak, all of my joints ache and I run a low grade fever (fever is recent) it s like my insides are fighting ANYTHING I eat or drink! I have been taking omeprazole daily so I don t get heartburn anymore....but this is driving me nuts! Afraid to eat don t want to get sick afraid not to eat/ drink for fear of getting dehydrated? ... any ideas.....am waiting on insurance so I can go see my dr but would like any suggestions!

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read your history related to abdominal cramps, loose stools, nausea, joint pains and low grade fever.
I would advise you the following.
Stool tests for 3 consecutive days.
Tests of blood: CBC, thyroid function tests, liver functions
Ultrasonography of abdomen.
Colonoscopy
CT scan abdomen.
Get treated after correlation between clinical evaluation, reports of the investigations.
If all the reports are negative then get treated as a case of IBS.
Make a list of foods, beverages and factors like that increase your stress and anxiety and symptoms and stop or avoid them strictly.
This will give you long lasting results.
