I suffered from stomach pain and dirrhea for four years due to diruitics, the gastrointeroligist diagnosed my problem as ibs and would not look for anything else, since he was supposed to be the expert my primary physicians would not listen to me, I discovered the culprit when one Dr. retired and another took his place, by that time I was having severe leg swelling and varicose veins plus hundreds of spider veins I am worried about my inabiity to digest a lot of foods now, the pain and dirrhea are a lot better the leg swelling is gone, but I lost 70 lbs. and cannot seem to gain it back. any suggestions?
