digestive system discomfort or disease.?Hey guys, do you know what this disease is called. I don't know what it is but my friend said that she've been having discomfort in her digestive system for over ten years now. She said that it hurts a lot. The doctor told her to not eat anything besides noodles, and bread. She's been doing this for about 6 months now and i'm worried because she's getting skinnier. They also mentioned something about inflammation.

I have irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, but that doesn't hurt me unless I eat something I should and get a stomach, but that as far as it goes. What she has doesn't sound like IBS, but that's the only thing I can think of, (I'm not an expert at diseases).
Edit: I agree with Doctor J, eating only noddles and bread does sound like a very stupid order. Is that all the doctor is doing is saying, eat noddles and bread?

NO competent doctor would recommend eating only noodles and bread for any condition. And, doing so for 6 moths can be a serious problem for people with a HEALTHY digestive system. For someone with a problematic gut and/or inflammation, this "diet" can be precisely the WRONG thing to do. For example, if your friend has Celiac Disease, this diet would be the WORST thing to do.
There is no way of determining what is what is wrong with your friend via the Internet. He/she needs to find COMPETENT medical guidance.
Best wishes and good luck.

I don't know what kind of dr your friend is seeing, but she needs to seek a second opinion. And she most definitely needs to be seeing a gastroenterolgist. She needs to have some major testing done. (ei. blood tests, colonoscopy, endoscopy.... there are other tests also based upon what the dr says about the results)

I honestly do not know, maybe IBS, but if the doctor told her to do this and she is getting worse, skinnier and definitely not good...I would definitely tell her to check with a different doctor.
