I need help

Hi my name is Shannon I will try to keep the story as brief as possible. In August 2014 while spending the day with my family I doubled over in so much pain I thought I was going to die. By the time my husband got me to the hospital I thought I was having a heart attack. They rushed me into emergency surgery they said I had a pocket attached to my small intestine that had gotten impacted and torn so it was leaking tocsin into my body. I had 4 inches of my small intestine removed. Since then I have been in the hospital Oct Nov Dec had 4 colonoscopy and 3 CT scans. Been rushed to the hospital every time of stomach pain starts just under my rib cage runs down right side 2 of the 4 times I had to be lifted off of the floor because I could not stand. Sorry if what I am about to say gets graphic I get out the hospital have a tore up belly for about a week then normal then I get excruciating pain from being constipated I know then when the diarrhea stars back within a week I will be back in the hospital. They find nothing all they say is irritable bowel. I can't wrap my brain around that please help with any input

That's awful im so sorry. 4 colonoscopies in such a short time seems completely unreasonable.

I highly recommend you get seen by a well known gastroenterologist. I don't know if it's IBD but something is wrong obviously. You may even want to fly out to mayo clinic for evaluation.
