Everytime I eat I get bad stomach bloating, indigestion so bad that I feel like I am going to throw up, headaches and I sometimes have to go #2 really bad about 30 mins after eating and all I want to do is get in bed. Well all I ever want to do is sleep. I usually go to bed at 10 every night, and get up at 7:30. I stay so tired all the time. And I cry alot. Everyone says that I am very sensitive, sometimes just talking to my boss will make me cry. I get really irratated really fast too. Its really becoming a problem because it usually happens with my daughter. Oh and sometimes I feel constapated so I have taken exlax pills and nothing happens. I have told my doctor most of these things and he has given me an ultrasound to check my gallbladder and everything was fine, except I had a cyst on my ovaries, but they said that was nothing to worry about. I just recently started my period two weeks early which is very unusal for me. I asked him about Celiac and he said he doesn't think it could be because I don't have diarria but he drew some blood to check anyways. Does this sound like celiac disease to anyone?

I couldn't tell you whether or not it's celiac - but your symptoms sound identical to mine (besides the ovaries part, being a guy an all).

I went through blood, stool, urine, & breath tests, upper & lower scope, & biopsy. They told me that I had a bacteria overgrowth & gave me an antibiotic and sent me on my way. Now after being on the meds for 45 days - my symptoms have pretty much all came back - tells me that it wasn't a bacteria overgrowth (my prescription doesn't run out until tomorrow evening).

After my test, before my results came back, I went gluten free & started to feel much much better. The antibiotic made me feel a little better yet. Went into gluten again, no immediate problems, but sure enough, a month or so later, I'm almost back to square one - so I restarted my gluten free diet yesterday.

Hopefully you'll have better luck than I did. Find yourself a good doctor (sounds like you need a new one for this problem) with an open mind and an open ear.

Best of Luck to You - please keep me informed

      For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer drill would not have required this level of stress, nor the time it took). Bad idea--learn from my mistake in being "lazy" and not renting (or buying) the proper tool for the job. My umbilical hernia was around for many years, and I didn't feel that one at all, so never worried about it. My doctor basically recommended doing both in one surgery, which seemed like wise move.  As far as the possible IBS connection to either, it was definitely apparent after getting the Inguinal hernia, which is why I asked my doctor about that, but after getting both fixed I realize that the umbilical hernia likely also had mild IBS effects over the years.

      @Scott Adams  Strange question but can you actually feel your hernia?  I have so many abdominal lumps and bumps of longstanding (my GP said it's fat!) that I sometimes wonder if an inguinal hernia could be missed.  I am quite sure some of my pain is from my umbilical hernia but that first came about courtesy of my second pregnancy.

      Thanks for sharing this! I've always wanted to go to Ireland, and we did include Ireland in a recent top travel destinations article, so it's nice to know that we got that right:

      That's too bad--this recent topic might be helpful:

      I had double hernia laparoscopic surgery two months go to repair both an Inguinal hernia (a recent home project injury) and an umbilical hernia (which I had for many years, but fixing it at the same time made sense), and am now more or less fully recovered. Recently on the forum someone mentioned the idea of hernia induced IBS, which I now believe was a real for me, but was a fairly minor issue overall, which got worse after getting the more recent Inguinal hernia. My doctor never mentioned this as a possibility, even though I directly asked him about it during my office visit: Me "can my hernias cause any digestive issues?" My doctor: "No, I doubt that." I still need to learn more about hernia induced IBS, but I realize now that I might have been affected by this to some degree in for a while.
