I went to the gastro dr. about a week ago for a consultation due to IBS-like symptoms that I've be having. I then asked him around a big concern... (first off, I'm a fairly spare person and over the past 2 months I've lost going on for 7 pounds) ...my upper stomach (or rather, abdomen) protrudes out over my flat, lower abdomen. It's the nouns right above the belly button. He said that wasn't abnormal and I shouldn't be concerned because the colon *blah blah blah* ...he went into some explanation something like the colon that I can't remember! It seems to stick out more some days that others.

Does anyone understand where on earth he was going? I'd love a full understanding!! :(

Answers:    It doesn't nouns like IBS because with IBS you usually experience agony in the lower abdomen. Do you enjoy that? The diarrhea will cause you to loose weight. Did the doc do other question paper to rule out things like dysentery, lactose intolerance or inflammatory bowel disease? These are more serious conditions and they should be ruled out first. Many people next to IBS suffer from stress, which is one of the main causes. Has he checked the spleen? it's located surrounded by the upper area of the abdomen and can swell if in attendance is an excess of gas. I would suggest that if you are not happy with this doc. desire out another one and get another opinion. It's your right. Otherwise, I don't know what he may be chitchat about. good luck and have a feeling better
