Thank you for your response, I greatly appreciate your time! My colonoscopy has been delayed due to insurance issues, but getting it straightened out & will post once I find out the results. The small meals definitely helps! It seems my stomach bloats more with more movement?

Hi there!
Well, without a detailed clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of your symptoms. Possibilities that may need to be considered include GI/ GU infections, inflammations, motility issues, medication side effect, growths/ masses etc. Crohn’s/ UC are likely to show up on colonoscopy. Meanwhile you could try using some OTC antacids and taking small frequent meals and see if these seem to help.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
Hi there,
A complete evaluation and work up is essential for correct diagnosis and management. The few possibilities in your case are irritable bowel syndrome; Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis which have several symptoms and signs in common. The common symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease are diarrhea, weight loss, pain in abdomen, bleeding from the rectum, fever etc.A colonoscopy will be useful and your doctor will be able to see any inflammation, bleeding, or ulcers. During the exam, the doctor may do a biopsy if needed. Do keep me posted.
Best wishes and regards!
