Will keep it brief as I'm sure you all know about the abdominal distension the first investigation shortly after the collapse in 93 was a sigmoid scope which hit a blockage that's when the investigating gastro decided there and then that i had irritable bowel syndrome had a lot of different medication but unfortunately nothing has ever really elevated the distension/bloating at all is it possible to have a blockage for the amount of time i have had the problems with the distension?

I too think it best to contact your doctor. Being 20 years, they may ask for a colonoscopy. But, if you have gotten blockage or scarring, I would think they would want to at least take a look at you. Please keep us updated.
I've previously had a colonoscopy along with the other things i mentioned
Got doc phoning this afternoon

Good to hear! I hope they can provide some ideas/answers for you...
Fobbed off or at least that's how it felt gp doesn't want to refer me to a gastro keep hearing the term functional bloating what ever that means best she's come up with is to book me in for an appointment with a gp at the same practice will go to the appointment but most likely register at a new gp after that
Has anyone heard of gi stasis

Just wondering why my abdomen has been so rigid and distended for such a long time and just about given up with my current gp
Gonna register at another surgery not so far from here do have an appointment at my current gp at end of the week but my gp point blank refuses to refer me to a gi doubt very much any of the doc's where I'm at now will
That doesn't make sense.
My current gp won't refer me to a gi or send me to a different surgery for a 2nd opinion best she's come up with is to book me an appointment with a different gp within the same surgery
