I am sorry to hear of your many health challenges.

Certainly, psychiatric illnesses can have a profound effects on GI function. It is also true that many psychiatric medications can also directly affect GI function, as well.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to make a diagnosis over the Internet, and so I cannot say whether or not your GI complaints are a result of your psychiatric illness, your medications, or due to some other cause altogether.

I hope that you will be able to find a physician who can identify the reasons for your symptoms, and that they will be able to provide you with some relief.

Sincerely/ Robert A. Wascher, MD, FACS

hi thanks the person who visited did a colonoscopy and ultrasound of liver, pancreas, kidneys, (and had a gynecologist with him to make the u/sound of pelvis and i did also smear becauase gync abnormalities can cause gi symptoms too) i did ca 125 and all came out normal, cbc was normal, esr too, and cpk and crp normal (They were done because i had muscle pain ) i was diagnosed with ibs and fibromyalgia. gastroscopy was cancelled because he is sure i have ibs, i met him for another physical exam and put me on movicol, i can go although i get bloated when i eat too much but i cannot control my stomach the hunger i got is not normal, i'm getting hungry all the time, i think i should visit my gi doctor and ask him about my sudden gain in apetite, btw i had loss of apetite due to depression, it lasted months..now i gained more aptetite which is not normal, i am afraid to become fat so do you think i must visit my gi doctor or a nutritionist? my gi system feels wacky.
