Hi, Starting in September 2012, I have experienced frequent abdominal cramps and bloating with bouts of diarrhea . The pain will shift from the left to the right side of the abdomen and will be accompanied by acid reflux . My GP has said that the intestines felt inflamed, however I have taken a number of blood tests that came up negative for Celiac s and Anemia. I m still waiting to see a Gastroenterologist . Is this just irritable bowel syndrome, or something else? Any input is greatly appreciated
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  Thanks for calling Chat Doctor. F.  As you describe you are having abdominal cramping, bloating, and diarrhea since September 2012. As it is a chronic disease, it appears to be irritable bowel syn Chat Doctor.  Other possibilities are amoebic dysentery, or bacterial infection of the gut, without proper treatment.  Of course as you have appointment to consult gastroenterologist, you will come to know the diagnosis of the condition. You may have to go for colonoscopy besides other routine tests for confirmation.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.  Best regards.
