hi guys - GI probs taking turn for the worse
Glad to see the boards back up  I haven't been around for a long time, but need some advice as my stomach probs are starting to worry me. I am seeing my doc but sort've "in between" visits at the moment.
To make a short story long  I was dxd IBS back when I was 18 or so (now 36) with predominantly lower right side pain and C. The pain would hit for maybe 3 days, then go. Well, it started back again about 4 weeks ago, and this time didn't go. It is lower right side, spreads across lower pelvic like menstrual ache, or sharp grab in the hip, and also spreads up into my back on the right. Yesterday I also had some pain in the left, and passed blood. (this has happened before).
I had an U/S last week that reported ovaries etc fine, and kidneys elongated but within normal parenchyma. No stones. About 2 years ago I had scopes both ways and a biopsy done which said very little (no coeliac, including the blood test) and a barium x-ray the same week showed nothing. My own experimentation says I am gluten intolerant so I stick to a low gluten diet (not totally gluten free).
So, could I have developed coeliac in the 2 years since that scope, (i've read where it can spontaneously emerge), what ideas do others have? the only other clue I have were enlarged blood vessels on the right reproductive organs. Just remembered that.
I am waiting to go back for another visit, but thought I'd trawl for any input, ideas etc. Many thanks.
