### input:
My husband has had stomach issues for 2 years now. When it first happened he complained of severe stomach pain in his upper middle to left abdomen. He also had a fever. We took him to the E.R. and he was diagnosed with Diverticulitis after a CT scan with contrast. Due to not having insurance at the time, we never followed up until this past month. He had a colonoscopy done and they found nothing to even suggest he has diverticulitis. They also eliminated Crohn s and Celiac disease. The only thing we have noticed that aggravates the pain is steak so he avoids it but still has the pain. He describes it as a bruised feeling. It s a dull pain unless he eats something that aggravates it or if the area is touched then it is a sharp pain, and he says it s not a cramping pain at all, just a very bad bruised feeling. It also causes him weird bowel movements that range from diarrhea one day to close to constipation the next. His doctor is treating him for Irritable Bowel but the medicine hasn t helped at all.

### output:

Hi. Thanks for your query. Read the history and understood the problems of your husband. The diarrhea, constipation sometimes, pain in abdomen, CT scan which showed diverticula in the past, but the recent colonoscopy is absolutely normal. Yes, he is suffering from the Irritable Bowel Syn Chat Doctor. If the medicines are not helping, the probable causes and the treatment area as follows:-Notice more than the steaks, which food stuffs and beverages cause / increase his problems. -Increase the dose of the medicines o give more effect or may be change over to another medicines. -Stress and anxiety are the biggest contributory factors, and he has to keep them under control at any cost, with yoga, meditation and / or medicines.
