terrible stomach pain, constpitation, and diarrhea Posted: 03-16-08 22:44pm
Ever since I was a child, I've had A LOT
of stomach problems. A few years ago, I
was diagnosed with acid reflux, and I
continue to suffer with frequent
heartburn. I also get horrible stomach
aches and my entire stomach bloats up and
I get sharp pain under my rib cage all the
way down to my lower abdomen. I also
frequently have problems with constipation
and sometimes go 3-4 days without having a
BM. For about a month now, I go through
periods where I am constipated and have
horrible stomach pain and then have severe
diarrhea for days (not laxative induced).
I'm either constipated, or I can't stop
having BMs, with crippling stomach cramps
either way.
I have considered the possibilty of having
IBS, but is there a chance it could be
something more serious like Chron's
disease?
Anyone else have experiences like this?
Any suggestions?

To me this sounds a lot like some of the
symptoms associated with Celiac Disease.
