This is my first post...I'm a healthy,
active 19 year old college student. But
for years I have dealt with chronic
stomach aches. Nearly every day when I
wake up in the morning I have 3 bowel
movements, often diahrrea-like. I also
have a lot of gas, despite what I eat for
dinner the evening before. Even after
all this in the morning I still feel like
my stomach is upset and sometimes I have
to go back to the bathroom again. On top
of this, after I eat anything, I feel like
I have stomach cramps and often have to go
to the bathroom to have a bowel movement
soon after (or sometimes during) a meal.
If I can't get to a bathroom right away,
the stomach cramps feel so terrible that I
get hot and clammy, feel like I might pass
out or soil myself. Usually after having
a bowel movement I feel better. I might
also add that I swell up like a balloon
after a meal, and once I have a bm i'm
flat again. Does anyone have any clue
what this could be? Could this be ibs?
I would love any input. I'm too young
and outgoing for this; i'm sick and tired
of it and this frustrates me greatly.

I am no Dr., but it sounds like there is
a problem, it could be i.B.S., galbladder,
are you nervous or stressed! If I were
you I would go to a Dr., he may want to do
a colonoscopy, if you cannot afford a Dr.,
check with a pharmacist, but your best bet
is to go to a Dr., and let him or her
check you out, this could be serious and
then again it could be something minor as
I said earlier, I am no Dr., keep us
posted on what you find out as this is
what helps others.
Sincerely,
sandy

Thanks for your reply, I think my mom is
making me an appointment. It is
definitely not stress! I am very laid
back and it is rare that I get stressed
out or nervy. Thanks for your advice.
