How is the condition in Kenya now?

How close is medical science to finding the causes and new better treatment to IBD and IBS?

• okay so this time last year i ran into a 8 month scare, back in say June i went through this really painful event of burning, confusing and anxiety period, all in all it's one of those life scaring events that leave you scared for your life if it ever happens again and sends you into a depression so heavy your never be able to get over. last June i experienced this really bad burning in my intestinal area, that brought on many symptoms that i'de rather not talk about, worst of all, no doctor could tell me what was wrong, from doctors to the hosptial to a gastrologist, no one could find a cause, i went through cat scans, with that dye stuff, ultrasounds, x-rays, colonoscopys and endoscopys, at first cause they found inflammation in my lower bowels when i first went to the hospital they thought maybe crohn's or colitis which scared me thinking every new symptom was either one plus the internet doesn't help leading you into new things you think you have, then by my gastro i was told there was no evidence of either so he thinks maybe a stomach bug, but to be honest i've never heard of a stomach bug that lasts 8 month's or more, i was tested for E coli which was negative. my symptoms leaded me to believe maybe IBS, but then i discovered how bullshit of a diagnostic and mis-leading and misunderstood condition doctors push on us, they don't know what it is or what causes it (like most of every single Bowel disease there is out there, kinda sad) and even sadder is how IBS is now being related to silted pie, it seems every single dis-functional Lower bowel temporary or chronic condition ever talked about with your doctor is refereed to as IBS or some sort of IBS, but whats even sadder about these conditions (IBD-IBS) is knowing people in family's who have had these or one of for more then 67 years now,...with no known cause or treatment or cure found today....you have to think it's probably been around longer and i know technology sucked back then but god damn science....god damn, they say that science thinks that every disease that effects organs now a days began in the colon or lower bowel and IBS and IBD being the biggest common found a day,...nothing has been found, either it has or like many have stated, "they wouldn't give it out if they found anything cause money would be lost for those bullshit symptom relievers they have out" i personally don't know if that's true, it makes sense but who am i to judge, i only share my views with you cause like i said i ran into this scare, thinking for 8 month's i had IBS or IBD so i know the depression that comes about with this, hell i know for a fact i did more research on these conditions then i think my hospital doctors could even begin to know about but the anxiety that comes along with research like this ( when it's so confusion and mis-leading information) i can tell you i'll never be able to forget this, anxiety of this nearly costed my life, thank god for family. so my question is, has ANYONE found anything helpful on this topic, are we any closer to a brighter future with this monster of a bowel condition, something many of us take for granted. are we any closer to a step forward, is science any closer to stop saying "i think this is it" and start saying "this is it", i don't think many of you understand how this destroys life's, they say it's best to be a live even with the worst of conditions, but think about how it would be to live day to day just fighting to hold on till tomorrow where you;de have to do it all over again,...is life really that worth it, it's like dying everyday then having to come back the nest day and do it all over again, and i was lucky to escape this terrifying horror story so many have to live with, how many other's get that chance... but what if we all could with a step forward in science, my heart and soul goes out to people who have to lie and say "it's not so bad" and what upsets me more, is how science says" change your diet is the best the reduce symptoms" well i say " no how about you put effort into finding something that would get right to the source, you've had 67 or longer years do something" diet only reduces symptoms stalling them until the next time around, how about we kill the source so those who have lost so much cause of this terrible nightmare can live a life meant to be lived, so as i said im sorry to those of you who have to wear a mask and lie to fight for another day. but really how close are we to an end to this fight.

• Answer:

  So long man lives, he strives to find problem-------identify it and find a remedy for every health issue. But, who cares? I lost my mother and younger sister to cancer. It became a spring-board of inspiration for me to study acupressure techniques & natural remedies, since past 2 decades and treated several incurable cases. who cares?
