i've been scouring the Internet for answers and have come across none. Two days ago I had the most painful feeling in my lower left abdomen. Worse than a period cramp. I tried and succeeded at going to the bathroom several times, and I also drank plenty of water. It took me 9 hours to feel good enough to eat just a piece of two of watermelon, and even then felt sick. The next day the pain had not gone away, and my stool had turned a very pale color. Well... At least, SOME of it was pale. Two chunks were pale, others were normal stool. My appetite hasn't been too good, but I can pass gas, I can hear my bowel movements, and I do get hungry. Could this be something more serious than a normal stomach ache?
