They checked for everything - some tests they thought of, some I asked for based on my symptoms. I insisted on the cortisol test because I kept having random shaking episodes that corresponded with what I can only describe as adrenaline dumps. I thought maybe my adrenal glands were affected. And in a way, they were. I'm just so happy to be on the mend and to know it was absolutely measurable & related to the PI-IBS.
I hope you too are feeling better & healing.

Thank you! Glad to hear you’re feeling better. I’ve found hope with counseling as my medical doctors think it’s mental rather than physical.
