Back pain along with stomach bloating and bowel problems

For about a week and a half now I have been suffering from constant back pain that seems to move around my back and seems to be intense at night. Along with this is stomach bloating and bowel problems, some days I can't stay out of the restroom and other days nothing or very little. I have a lot of gas, yet it seems hard to expel. Not sure if I should call my doctor or is this something that will pass. I do have IBS so not sure if it is just a matter of time and it will go away?

Then it won't digest quickly and my stomach feels full and heavy. .Like carrying a backpack inside of you. Now, im only 5'4 and have never weighed more than 112 for five years and all of a sudden, this. lol I have no idea why this is happening. Ne one kno ne thing bout this?

PEACE!

Hi guys, I have the same symptoms as you guys!!!

I talked to a gastroenterologist and he told me it sounds like a classic case of IBS - but he said you need to have it on and off for AT LEAST ONE YEAR to be diagnosed for IBS. I am 24 and he said this is just about the age when people start having issues...

Another problem in MY case thugh is that I have occasionally blood in stool - I'm having a colonoscopy AND an endoscopy in early May to rule out serious stuff. Smile

I wake up with extreme pain in my kidney ( I only have one) and it is not infected, tested several times. I am beginning to believe it is trapped gas so I spend at least 5 minutes massaging my stomach and lower intestines and burp until it feels better. The pain does not stop completely, but it helps. I had giardia years ago and I think it must have something to do with that. Might sound stupid, but if I take a couple of penicillen at the onset it gets better. I can't twist or bend over that my side and back feel like I lifted cement sacks all day.

Hi guys, Your stomach problems seems similar to mine. I used to feel gas after my evening meals everyday and it would hurt inside the stomach. Then someone suggested me a medicine that they used as well to relief the gas. Actually it is not a medicine, it is a kind of traditional thing that people used to do in old times. So here is the recipe:

1 spoon of fennel seeds
1 spoon of dry pomgernate seeds
1 spoon of sugar

All mixed together and chew them well while eating. Take it when you feel the gas. you can take half spoon of each and then can take this medicine twice a day. These are all natural food spices and should not have any side effects. But if you have serious ulcer or any other serious stomach problem then consult with your doctor before taking it.

I hope this would help. I just started taking this and so far i am feeling much better with less gas and easily releaved. Good luck.

Uhg! these symptoms def sound similar to mine, i had an iud and just got over my period, i am 24 yrs old and have one child thats three. Here's my story, last week i was driving home with my daughter about 30 min away, when out of no where my head got wicked dizzy and felt like my eyes just wanted to roll back into my head, i had to keep shaking my head and batting my eyes till it stopped. Slowly during this i was pulling over to the shoulder cause i couldnt see straight, then like nothing it was gone. Felt a little hazy, but didnt think much of it. Now for the past week, i feel like I've been drained, i fight to have energy from the time i wake up till the time i go to bed. This happend last saturday, it is now 9 days later and other symptoms have started, i get weird pains in my chest and enormous bloating in my stomach(under my ribs), have felt to have a fever on and off and my period lasted a little longer than normal, with major cramps all the way to the end. I have had problems in the past with bowel movements and still do i a eat too much dairy products. What else can i tell ya, i seems to have a lot of gas but cant seem to get it out, I'm afraid to do to the emergency room and have them tell me nothing is wrong with me. Sounds stupid i know. If i stand up for too long i get all fuzzy again, oh and especially after i eat i feel like i'm carrying around a ton of bricks, I have back pain from my lower back to my middle and somtimes it feels like it shifts, anone think this sounds normal or can give me an idea, thanxs for listening.
