I am hoping someone can help me figure out
what is wrong...
I have been having this issue with my
stomach. It started after a stomache
virus I had.....I was having stomache
issues after. I would go to sleep and
wake up with a feeling of constipation and
gas. I would get to work and drink some
coffee and i would have a bowel movement.
Afterwards I would feel fine up until
lunch. i would eat a normal meal and i
would feel my stomach start bubbling and
gas would come back. throughout the day i
would have a bowel movement 4 or 5 more
times, never quite relieved. I would even
get the sweats and feel very light headed
at times before going to the
bathroom.....Anyway, I would get home and
eat normally and feel kinda constipated
and go to bed and start the cycle all over
again. this has been going on for almost
2 weeks.
What could be happening here...I am
starting to get really frustrated with it.
Thanks!

Hi Posted: 05-25-07 16:44pm
Can you not go to your physican and ask
for a test for Helicobacter Pylori? If you
aren't willing to go this route, try to
eat Activia yoghart or store equavialnt
everyday for 2 weeks. This really got my
stomache back into gear. Had some of the
same symptoms you are describing, I was
diagnosed as having HPylori and had to go
2 weeks round of antibiotocs to rid this.
Hope yo ufind an answer!

Thanks I can go to the doctor but I
thought it was just something that would
go away. You think Activia would do it?
What would cause such a thing?

Hi,
Thank you for your help. I will run out
and get some of this Activia, go to my
doctor.....
When you had this problem, what was the
ultimate solution? Did you have medicine,
just eat this activia or were there other
measures?
Thanks

You said that you did have a stomach virus
and that stays in your system for a couple
weeks until it is fully gone. I think this
is signs of you getting fully over the
virus. Wait another week until you see a
doctor

I felt as though it weresome type of virus
to begin wiht.This was back last Nov. 06.
Started out as diarreah then cramping.
THen costipation, with the gas and air. I
also fel hungry, but felt if i ate
anything I'd cramp up and have the
stabbling pains in my stomach (different
areas). Thsi was caused by an infalmmation
form gastritis. I'd try to activia for one
week, the if things are NOT better, go on
to a physican, it takes forever to get na
appointment is why I said go ahread and
make on.e If you are better you can always
cancel it. I also was put ona GERD diet.
No fired stuff or fatts foods. Have given
up coffee and certain chocolates, tuna,
things i really know will kick my ass with
indigestion. HAve ben on prevacid,
protonic, prilosec and Zantac and numerous
generic things to no avail. Have a presc.
for the NExium in hte mail on its way.
Sure hope this fixes the problem! LIke I
stated, you could have somehting entirely
different, but i would not wait too long,
mine has been ongoing back and forth to
same gastro, endoscopy and colonoscopy
since last Nov!

tell them in particular in order to avoid
wasted time in diagnosis and tryig things

them do their job.....

Hi Posted: 05-26-07 18:43pm
Make a list of the symptoms you have had
or are experienceing now. Those same ones
may not be present by the time you see
your Dr. Are you see a regualr physican or
Gastro Dr? Tell you doctor you had a virus
and when but also ask if these are
possible signs of Helicobactor pylori.
Wish you all the luck in the wrold!

No Scope or anything yet, they took blood
Wednesday and have not gotten back to me
yet...It seems to have relapsed to
something a few days ago, the problem
picked up in intensity somewhat and last
night I had a really bad stomache cramp
which kept me on the toilet for over an
hour. Strong gas pressure and
cramping....was painful...felt like I was
going to burst..... I really dont know
what to do....my friends dad is a retired
gastro doctor and told me to toss the
prilosec type drug i was prescribed. he
said it was for heartburn not stomache
intestinal issues like this. Said it
could be a blockage and the doctor said
they were testing for salmonella........So
I don't know what is going on right now...

I would also ask them to test for
parasites. Although this may not show up
on an initial test. I would think by your
symptoms you picked up a parasite and it
is wrecking havoc on your body. I would
also seek out a naturopath and perhaps go
a my natural route. It worked for me and
so it is just another option. A good
cleanse is also another option. Colonix by
DrNatura really worked for me. But I am
sure you will find the solution that works
for you. Let us know what you decided to
do and how it is helping you. Good Luck!!
