Anyone Else Have This? Talk to Me Please! Posted: 06-03-05 20:52pm
When you have a bowel movement does it
sometimes look flat like it was smashed
inside you? I know that is a symptom of
ibs. I was diagnosed with ibs years ago,
because they couldn't find anything else.
I had colic alot as a baby also. I do
have a nervous stomach but no real
problems. I never get nauseated or have
to vomit (thank goodness) but here
recently for a little over 3 weeks now I
have felt slightly nauseated on 2 or 3
occaisions, it passed. I have alot of gas
and bloating. And some stomach pain and
cramping after I eat, then I usually have
to go to the bathroom. Then when I do
have a bm I have to go back about 5 or 10
minutes later to have what seems to me
like the other half of it. And I usually
have loose stools. Usually, not always.
Pepto doesn't really help, nothing does.
Pepcid ac tablets a little, but
still....Gas gas gas. I do have
gallstones, but never any pain from that.
I have made a Dr.'s appointment with an
internist (my regular doc). But I am
worried and thinking the worst now. I am
44 and overweight. Any opinions or
similar diagnosed illness? Would love to
hear from you asap. Thanks.

Hi, I had something similar to that months
ago. Whenever I would be eating my
stomach would hurt in the middle of it no
matter what I ate, even salads, and I
would have to go to the restroom in the
restaurant and it was also loose and then
when I got to the house same thing. This
went on for about two weeks straight, but
always seem to come on as I was eating and
my stomach would hurt really bad. But I
think I found my problem. At night I was
also having my food come up when I laid
back so I went to a general doc and she
prescribed me pills for acid reflex.
They start with a "p" but I don't have
them on me. They're like the second
strongest. Anyway, since then I haven't
had that problem. I've always had a bit
of problem with acidreflex and ignored it
becaue I didn't want to be on med, but
this was the last straw because I was so
uncomfortable and it was real wierd. She
said it could be from the acid reflex but
wasn't to sure. But like I said, it
stopped after that after being like two
weeks straight of it and it just like all
of a sudden came on.
