6 weeks GI issues
Discussion
After some advice, NHS not being very good.
Mrs has had GI issues for the last 6-8 weeks. Gradual onset maybe 1-2 months before hard to tell, since maybe late summer August time.
Been to GP and got nowhere tbh. GP has sent for an appointment for camera in the you know where but so far no appointment 6-8 weeks apparently.
She cant sleep, appetite gone and is in a lot of pain and discomfort.
After reading the gall bladder thread could it be that?
Symptoms are regular diarrhoea 2-3 times a day, yellow and green in colour (sorry if you are eating your breakfast), appetite gone, bloated and painful stomach and generally feeling nauseous 24/7. Fatty foods / alcohol IMHO make it worse.
So far "Dr google" suggests IBS, IBD etc? Maybe the gall bladder?
The lack of sleep is starting to really have an impact. She never complains of being sick never gets flu or anything, is a very tough cookie but last week she mentioned maybe going to A&E which is a massive red light for me as she only done that 1 other time in her life (15 years ago) and ended up in hospital for over a week with a really bad infection.
Thoughts on a post card?

Just an update, finally had an appointment today with a consultant.
A couple of months ago she saw a doctor who prescribed some meds which calmed things down a lot and she been much better - but still not 100%.
Anyway consultant says he thinks its a combination of issues. She is booked in for more tests next week - at least they seem to be moving quickly now.
They don't think its anything too serious but want to rule out the usual nasty stuff.
