Hello thanks for the note. I am bloated and get stomach pains on both sides. I am also very tired and have a lot of wind. I have had headaches and back pain but my girlfriend has these also and we think we have a virus. I am worried about the mch and mchc markers as I did not know what they mean and are out of range? I have not had bad ibs for a long time. I have had a very healthy diet for the past year and have given it up a bit and also have a lot of stress right now? I wanted the blood tests to make sure it was not something more serious with my body. Also I looked on Google about the blood tests which has not helped my head and worried myself. I remember the stomach pins starting a few weeks ago when I ate out at a restaurant. Straight after I had terrible pain on my right side. I have had my appendix out already. I have had nothing like that since. I just went to bed and it went. But the discomfort has certainly been a bit worse on the right hand side

Thanks for the reply. Should I have bloods done again to check in the future or stop worrying? Also I have been taking acidophilus every day for about a year. I did this whilst doing the strict diet. Should I continue with this or stop?

Hello, many thanks for your help, my stomach is much better. It was ibs and brought on by a lot of stress recently. Now for the last week I have been messing up words and things when I am talking. I will say a wrong word or sentence occasionally. My family think this is stress related also but wanted to get a view. It is driving my nuts and very frustrating and now I am over thinking every thing. I have had some head aches but also more a sinus / cold issue. Is all this common with stress ?
