abdominal pain and constant diarrhea

I am not a doctor, nor a medical professional. I am 25 and I feel bad for all the stories. I use natural remedies for myself, my family and my pets. Maybe you or anyone reading could do some research on digestive herbs and talk to your doctors about this. Just a suggestion. I wish you all the best of luck.

Hey I am a guy and I have has problems now for 9 years....I am only 20 years old. It started one day with a feelig of I had to go but couldnt...the years went on and the symptoms got persistant. Dhr in the morning just about every morning. I get bad pains in my abdomen. Sometimes unbarable. I can't eat in the morning. I have noticed lactose sets it off along with beer. I am a smoker but only recently. I have had endoscapys colenoscapys and everything just about you could think of...still waiting on my bravo breath test. The doctors are all stumped. One believes its ibs but I feel that's just a way to give me a name when its not it. Recently he said he thinks I have reynauds because as of 6 months ago I have unbelievable pain in my legs and lower back. Anyone else have anything similar?? After so many years of this its getting old i cant go anywhere can't keep a job.

The same thing has been happening to me for 3 months. I don't know what to do. I can't do anything without worrying about a bathroom being nearby. I'm 15, so I'm in school, and I feel like I am trapped. I can't just get up and go to the bathroom during class. I have 1 hour classes, so I definately can't go twice in one period, everyday. This literally is taking over my life. I can't do anything or act like a normal teenager. I'm going to the doctors on Thursday, so hopefully they can perscribe me something. I just hope that it isn't bad. And if it is, I hope I can fix it without any problems. I'm just so concerned. I want this to go away so I can get back to my life and not cry everyday about it.

I have all these same symptoms... Reading stuff on Gluten allergies... Think I will start there.

You need a HIDA scan this will determine if your gallbladder is functioning properly. Find a good general surgeon who will listen to you and more importantly believes in gallbladder disease.In the meantime avoid fatty foods and red sauces. Good luck.

Hi Sarah, I'd definitely try cutting out the dairy products, I had luck with doing that. All that saturated fat can't be good for us.

I would suggest trying a gluten-free diet. Me and my sister have always had this probelm and were diagnosed with IBS at a young age...we were put on medication and i did help but we still had episodes every once in awhile and could never narrow it down to certain foods. We decided to try a lactose free diet for awhile but didn't have alot of success with it. We then were advised by a family member to try a gluten free diet and have never felt better!!

I did try eating gluten again just to assure myself, and felt crappy after so i know its working.

I am now off my meds and feeling fantastic. I have also lost over 20 pounds by doing this, if you dont want to lose weight you can try all the gluten free breads and baking as they contain quite a bit of fats and carbs but you won't feel crappy after eating them as you would with normal baking.

I have this exact thing but the doctor will not give me anything he dose not really care and its embarrasing. i also have a bad family history :/ any tips on... Foods medicins ??

One of my relatives had these symptoms, too. She had cramps and explosive diarrhea within minutes of eating anything.  She also had dark brown urine. She lost about 30 pounds in 6 months and her doctor couldn't figure it out.  It turns out she had Habba Syndrome, which not many doctors know about.  It's a gallbladder problem. google "habba syndrome" to find out more about it.

We found by doing a google search that cholestyramine taken before eating can alleviate the problem.  This drug also goes by the brand name Questran. Apparently, this drug is also given to those who have had their gallbladders removed but still have similar symptoms.

After convincing her doctor to let her try it for a few days, she found that the very first dose stopped the diarrhea and cramping.

I'm not saying that all of you have it, but it might be worth looking into.

I've had liquid stool multiple times a day for almost a month:( ct scan, blood work, X-rays all normal but I'm losing weight and so tired:( I literally go over 10 times a day if not more. Dr said stress?!?!! I'm freaking out, does anybody else suffer that many times a day and for this long??? Help:(

Hi, I get this too, ao I went hospital and it turned out it was constipation as of a lack of water. The stool absorbed the moisture and the force of the bowels squisged it up and made it sloppy. I took laxitives on prescription and drank plenty of water. The pain is agonizing and I was dropping to the floor when it happened. I got it very frequent and now I don't get it as much. Hope this helps

Hi Sarah! This is happening to me now, I just want to roll up in a ball and cry. I honestly can't stand it any longer, I got blood tests the other day, and have to do a poo sample but I can't wait. It hasn't stopped for about a month. My tummy hurts so much i get hot flushes. How did you go with it all ? Xo

It seems a lot of people run into this issue before and after gallbladder surgery but I have several therories.
I have been sick on and off now for the past 6 years and have had like most a lot of up and downs. It's stated with gallstones and liver issues and turned into to me getting it removed.(FYI I wish I would have never let the doctor take out my gallbladder and I would highly discourage anyone that "needs" to have it removed.The reason I say this is 95% of the time it does not really need to come out but doctors do it anyways because it's easy pocket money. I am highly ashamed and saddened by our Society's ancient thought process that our doctors care about us as individuals. The fact is most of the time we again are just a number and not a human. They prescribe bandaids to fix other bandaids without every addressing the problem.)
Diet is everything, I say this because most of us have a hard time hearing what we put in our body truly effects our overall way of life. If you put junk in your body, then you will see junk output. Meaning you will feel sick and things will never improve. If you feed your body with healthy/nutritious food then your output will be healthy.
This is not an easy lifestyle change as we all battle with food addiction and it a lot larger epidemic then all drugs in the US. Our bodies are addicted to fake food, sugar, carbs and processed food.
Based off experience if you go true Paleo and start reading about vitamins/supplements where you personally are lacking take action, you will start to see change in ways you would never expect. A lot of you reading this will become discouraged because your entire life you/we have been lied to and facing the facts will be too hard. If you are truly tired of vomiting, rushing to the bathroom, being sick almost everyday, constant DHR and are ready to make the lifestyle changes, get ready for this. In 2-4 weeks time you should see a major difference in DHR and vomiting. This should be minimal to gone, I say minimal because some of us may need more time to recover depending on many factors such as when we strarted to feel this way. Our bodies are all different and need time to heal. In 3-6 months you will see major differences with bowel movements, blood work, no vomiting, no DHR, little to no pain and significant weightloss to those that need it and weight gain to those that need it.
This road to a healthy lifestyle is not easy and will require a support system and encouragement. We do have the power to dictate how we feel, the question remains, are you willing to do anything it takes to feel better? If yes, then it's time to make a change. If no, just remember it this is hear when you need it.


Best of luck to all and we can do this together. Head up, and stay strong.

I have had a constant stomach sickness for the past month or so. Like nauseated really bad. Have to go to the bathroom a lot and it is like diarrhea almost all of the time. What would you suggest?
