rapid onset diarrhea and vomiting Posted: 07-05-08 22:04pm
Does anyone else suffer from severe rapid
onset diarrhea, vomitting, and severe pain
in the left lower bowel/pelvic area right
before or during monthly period? It
usually happens the day before or the day
after I start my period. I suddenly get
violently sick to my stomach and violent
diarrhea, so dizzy and weak that I can't
get up and the pain is like severe labor
pains! It's a horrible thing to go through
every month and the docs don't seem to
have a clue. It started at exactly the
same time as my thyroid problem. Please
help!
Taking Acidophilus may help. Your
symptoms could be caused by excessive
estrogen levels, and acidophilus
supposedly breaks down metabolites of
estrogen, which would lessen the symptoms.
Extra calcium and magnesium may help with
the pain.
Food allergy testing and gastrointestinal
function tests are very helpful in finding
hidden problems. A nutritionist can do
these tests, and also help with thyroid
problems.
A digestive enzyme supplement could help a
lot. This, along with the acidophilus is
where I would start.
