Hello, I just wanted to get a second opinion from this subreddit if possible after my diagnosis of IBS from a doctor who doesnt really listen to me.
Ive been struggling with severe pain off and on for years and the doctor Im seeing doesnt seem to want to fully listen to me and diagnosed me with IBS but I feel like it could be more than that. I was originally diagnosed with gastritis when my issues first started but they never went away so they changed my diagnosis, but I really dont think its IBS. I get these flare ups in cycles usually every month to every few months where Im only able to get it to stop with Sucralfate or a GI cocktail at the hospital will sometimes help get it start to calm down. Its one of the worst pains I've ever felt in my life and Dr's keep acting like im overexaggerating but it genuinely is like a 10/10 on the pain scale. The pain feels like im being sliced in half horizontally across my abdomen and then someone poured alcohol on the open wounds and everything is burning and on fire. Almost always it comes with terrible cramps that have me twisting myself in knots to feel some sort of relief. I start struggling with appetite and libido goes away fully, I start cyclic vomiting up what I believe is more bile than vomit. Even though I don't usually see signs of blood, my stools turn yellow and are full of pus and mucus. It usually comes with burping excessively and lightheadedness sometimes fainting and I cant sleep at all at night, waking up multiple times an hour. Can IBS be this bad?? Or is it probably something else? I feel like IBS isnt episodic like this.
