Back pain along with stomach bloating and bowel problems

102 answers - active on Jun 17th 2021
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?

Sounds more like you have vertigo. You need to see your doc.
If you have mold you need to move.
Hello. I am not sure but sounds alot like what was happening to myself and myself four years ago. We finally tested positive for H pylori. A bacterial infection caused by water or food.or an infected person. But also i was sick with repeating kidney infections oddly enough due to mice dipping allergies and urine possibally in my utensils. I was sick on and off throughout the year. I hope you guys have figured out why you are so sick by now.
Myself and my husband lol.
YES ! I am a former college Football (American Football) player and was also in a bad car accident many years ago. I still lift regularly but have had to go to light weights because of sever lower back issues. And they have gotten worse the lats few years as I sit more at my computer. Even walking is uncomfortable. After reading this I'm going to try and take walking breaks every 30 minutes for at least 5 minutes each. Hopefully getting away from the desk will help
This is the worst part of IBS. It is almost like a cannon getting loaded and ready to fire. Start taking viberzi at the first sign of the bloating and terrible back pain... You probably won't become constipated... but when the diarrhea hits it hits me hard and if I've taken either hydrocodone and Imodium or viberzi ahead of time I can ease the suffering and it seems to pass less painfully or dramatic
DR's are a bunch of overpaid assholes, that really don't know what's wrong with you, and to top it all off they give you meds that they aren't 100% sure what they do anyways on their own let alone mixing one with the other. I have been going through the exact same thing for years. Its tedious and the DR's will make you feel like its all in your head. BUT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG!!! Keep fighting for a diagnosis, but please try to stay off meds. Drink more water, and some teas are fascinating, and NO MORE SODA OR FAST FOOD.... That food is just that was invented to destroy your body. BTW Fennel Seeds are an amazing mention and they also freshen your breath when done eating.
I can't believe how many people are experiencing the same thing I have been recently. I've NEVER had issues with gas or anything of the sort until recently. About 2 months ago, my Mom was diagnosed with cancer on her pancreas (NET cancer). Around the same time, I started having pains under my ribs on the left side. The pains would come and go. Then I'd end up with intermittent gas that would come and go. The pain worried me more than the gas after I read that your pancreas is on your left side. A few weeks later, the pain started going to my back. I went to the doctor who prescribed me a medication to keep acid in my stomach down. It didn't make any difference. I noticed that my symptoms started changing to where the pain was located in my left shoulder. That happened for about a week. The week after that, the pain radiated to the center of my upper back/neck area. It would be gone in the mornings, worsen as the day went on, and of course, burping and flatulence constantly no matter WHAT I ate. I tried green shakes with chia seeds, pears, bananas, and kale and would feel great after eating them but bowel movements started becoming strange about the 2nd month in. Like LOTS of gas and softer than usual. This wasn't anything like I've ever experienced. I'm in my early 40s and like I said, never had any issues. I've started working out hard with cardio in the evenings since all of this started and working out actually helps me feel better in the evenings when the burping, gas and bloating is the worst but I'm a constant worrying mess right now. I have appointments with a GI doctor set up and am hoping for some sort of diagnosis but hoping it isn't anything life threatening. I'm so tired of this pain in my upper back and feeling like I can't eat anything at all. I'm also extremely worried about cancer now that I know it runs in my family, because the symptoms of pancreatic cancer can be very vague and intermittent and excessive burping and pains in the upper abdomen under the ribs is one of the signs unfortunately. Hopefully will get some positive answers soon.
I know this post was over a year ago, but I hope you found an answer. I’ve been having a lot of your symptoms except for the last couple about waxy skin etc. l have the same gi issues and horrible back pain. It’s upper back and wraps around my ribs and chest..the only relief I get from it is to lay down. I’ve gone paleo for the past couple of months to try to help the gi issues... but I still have the issues and I’ve just realized that’s it’s coming from my spine. The thoracic spinal control the gi organs that are giving me so many problems. I did have a ct scan to rule out anything and they found nothing. I’ve lost so much weight from the cramping and nausea..and my bowels just don’t move anymore at all without taking something. The pain in my ribs and just makes it hard to breath, but again I just realized that the spinal nerves control this as well. My neck is also effected and I have horrible headaches every day for weeks at a time. Hips have gotten very sore and inflamed to the point I can no longer walk for exercise as I used to love to do. Im having an mri on my spine this week. I’m really hoping for an answer.
Can I recommend looking into fasting.. If you are strong willed enough it will do the trick..I am struggling with similar on and off pains but haven't been able to completely stop eating because I love it and I'm a glutton for punishment!
Regular practioners have little training on parasite activity in the body. If you want to do something natural it will take commitment, but you wont end up on a surgeons table. Cut out coffee while you heal. Take guggulu and something like “total restore” to make the dwelling place of parasites uncomfortable. Walk or exercize. You may get headaches and backaches. You may get thirsty and sleepy. It is worth it. I learned this from a parasitologist and have gained a new level of health.
Please, please, please! This sounds exactly what I had for three years. I was treated for chronic constipation, IBS (which i did not have), IT's everthing but what I, MYSELF, finally discovered. I had Ovarian Cancer!! My ovaries were 14.5 and 12.5 pounds. full of cancer. This cancer called all the other issues. Never was I given an exam. No CT. No MRI. Anyhow..please DEMAND this. You all have many of the same symptoms. Or look up O.C. I was two weeks from having the cancer spread o/side my Ovaries. It is sneaky and it is fast moving. Please do not hesitate.
Hey guys, seems like you guys have been dealing with a case of acid reflux or in my country we say “ kabag or panuhot” in Filipino. Things I do to prevent myself from getting sick. Stay away from veggie seeds, eat the flesh and throw the seeds away. For example: tomatoes and cucumber. Slow down on broccoli and beans, it can make you gassy. Slow down on alcohol. Over eating can give you acid reflux. Eating foods that are hard for your tummy to digest can make you sick too like beef so make sure you cook it soft. Do not sleep right after you eat, and try to drink some hot tea after dinner, it’ll help you digest your food better. What if you already feel sick? What to do? You can try to drink a bubbly soda to help digest your food, but I usually just drink hot water and take sodium barcarbonate or omeprazol which works like magic. If you don’t want to take pills, you can rub some menthol meds on your stomach and take a heat pack and place it in your tummy. Hope this helps
