i know this was posted a while back, but i have been suffering from the exact same thing..its been going on for a year now and the doctors keep telling me its IBS and that there is nothing they can do and they guaged this from nothing more than a feel of of tummy once!
it is begining to be a real worry, the loose stool and stomach aches i can bear, but the shortness of breath and pounding heart is a serious concern....even though they only last a few hours at a time there now happening daily...
did you ever find out what it was.....if i can tell my doctor some things to check she might actually do it ou never know!
cheers

Hi Tom,
I've been researching my symptoms and found this thread. I recently went to 3 doctors (including and allergist and a GI specialist) and they were absolutely useless. Turns out I have candidiasis (intestinal yeast overgrowth) and many different symptoms come with it (oral thrush, etc.). It sounds a little scary but it can be cured naturally. Only a naturopath would be knowledgeable enough to help you get rid of it. Someone even suggested it in the replies to the original post. I've completely changed my diet (that's the annoying part) and am taking digestive enzymes/caprylic acid. I do feel better even though it's only been a couple of weeks. If you have candida and have noticed white specks in your stool, they're most likely dead candida cells, which means that at least your immune system is fighting the infection somehow. Here is a random website that lists a bunch of symptoms for yeast overgrowth : If you think you may have that, don't waste your time like I did with a "regular" doctor--naturopaths are a lot more aware of this modern, widespread issue. All three doctors I saw clearly knew nothing about it, and therefore didn't want to even consider it as a result. Do not make the mistake of taking antibiotics unless you're sure, it would make it worse. Good luck!

I would say to see a "Gastroenterologist" They specify in this kind of stuff and can do a series of tests to figure it out. You may just have a simple intestinal issue that can be corrected by changing your diet habits and taking medication, or you may have a more serious issue involving other organs that aren't working correctly.

Have you had antibiotics lately?
I have had the same problems for the past 5 or 6 years. I go for days with no symptoms then bang............ loose bowel movements, white spots in my stool, burning around the anus and a rash that gets so bad it will almost make me cry and horrid smelling flatulence. It lasts 4 or 5 days then is tolerable and finally subsides. Countless tests have come back with nothing.
It has flared up again and after looking up the symptoms again I may have found an answer. Clostridium diffcile colitis!!
Some antibiotics (new super antibiotics like clindamycin) disrupt dormant C-diff spores in the colon and cause the spores to transform into disease cauing toxins that inflame and damage the colon.
For some reason dentists are the worst for presribing the super antibiotics right off the bat.
Have your doctor check for C-diff colitis.
Hope this helps

Look, I think I suffer from something close. I find my mouth tastes of a irony taste.. Constantly dehydrated, I either never have hunger, or am extremely hungry, I Also find that I have a wierd yellowy color of liquid that smells horrible that I produce from my rectum, after I sweat or work to much. Now I've had white kind of fleeshy things no more then 5-10mm in my stole, I suspect a parasite of somesort, but my mother instead that it's just my diet. So Im booking a vist to a gi. But what does it sound like to you guys/girls? (I hadall but the liquid syntoms for over a year or so)

have you ever heard of candida? If not google it. That's what you symptoms sound like to me. It is a bacteria on your body that grows out of control based on your diet. The key is to keep a 70/30 ratio to alkaline foods and acidic foods. You can look up a list of foods online and evenmeal plans. Go to your doc and say give me a stool test for candida then tell him what's going on. I am like you and was just diagnosed with this. It's not very serious you just have to control you inner ph.

Marry,
I have taken a look at my stool, and it has white spots. Now for a possible solution to the "White spotted stools" around the world.
drugs delivered capsules will need added ingredients in a measured formulation to assure that the drug is delivered in the correct dosage.
HOW DO THEY DO THAT?
well they add inert ingredients. So the inert ingredients are just like little white specks or white spots. They are not digested but will exit "stage back" or through the main exit point for digestion residules.
That's my story and I am sticking to it!!!!

I would say... read a book called breaking the vicious cycle, have your doctors check you for C-diff, get off grain/starch/refined sugar as fast as possible (this includes not eating artificial sugars, as they feed the bad bacteria in your gut, pretty much only raw, non processed honey is allowed.... agave nectar is super processed, so also not allowed). If you cheat, even slip a little, all your symptoms will come back. It seems less likely that this would be a parasite, and more likely that this is celiac/c-diff/crohn's related. It's so common now and almost always doctors tell you you're fine/normal. You should have your thyroid hormone levels checked too, but don't just take their word for it. They will tell you you're normal even if you're 0.01 away from being in the "dangerously low/high" section. Get your results and research what good levels are on your own.

You do not have some mysterious disease, your body is just sending you signals that it is toxic & needs to be cleaned out. Fruit is nature's cleanser. Eat all fruit for 30 days & you will be amazed at how these complex disorders disappear. Do not take drugs as they only suppress your bodies ability to detoxify. If your car engine was making a loud hissing sound would you turn up the radio so you no longer heard the noise? No! Clean out the body with a 30 day fruit diet & you will start to feel like a kid again. I'm speaking from experience. I have helped many people & animals heal thru a whole food diet. Best wishes to all of you.

Get a full panel test for parasites... nutritionists and homeopaths seem to test for parasites FIRST (especially of you travel to less developed countries, have pets, work with wildlife, etc)... MDs have been treating/medicating me for a range of emotional and physical symptoms since 19 years old (now 46)... I am just finding out now that I have tapeworm, and possibly others. Symptoms of parasites can be depression, racing heart, hormone imbalances, sleeplessness, weight loss and lossof appetite, sugar cravings, early menopause for women, cycsts and acne, scaly dry skin, foggy vision, inability to concentrate, muscle weakness and stiffness, schizophrenia, slow reaction times... hoping I'm a new person with treatment... :-|
