Hi.
Thanks for your query.
You are suffering from lower abdominal pressure and
bloating for 5 years and investigations are within normal limits.
This could be IBS. IBS comes in many forms.
For us to say this as a IBS i.e.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome, all the investigations should be normal.
I would advise the following investigations and treatment in a such a case:
Investigations:
*Routine blood investigations like Complete blood picture, blood sugar, urea,
creatinine,
liver function tests,
thyroid function tests.
*Urine -routine and microscopy
*Stool: routine, microscopy, occult blood, culture and sensitivity.
*
Ultrasonography of abdomen,
*
Colonoscopy All these investigations should be within normal limits for one to say you have IBS.
Treatment:
''STRESS'' = stress is the most important cause of IBS. Please remember and you must have observed that when you do not have stress your problem with IBS is reduced
Change of lifestyle.
I think 'may be' you are not coping with something.
Vacation outside of your area, mobiles phones to be off.
You must have noticed already that these changes help a lot.
Try to avoid anything which you are / have to do against your will and wish. Get into the hobbies which make you forget the world around you. Life comes only once, boss.
Medicines ::
You need to have a prescription of a Doctor, please discuss this with a Gastroenterologist to get a prescription. I would like to know which medicines have you taken in the past and in which dosage
Vit A and Vit D in therapeutic doses,
Multiviatamins ,
probiotics,
anxiolytics help a lot.
