For the past two days I've been having mild nausea. I've never experienced nausea without other symptoms before (ie. when I've had food poisoning, or tummy bug etc). The nausea comes and goes, my appetite is fine.
I am also definitely not pregnant as I'm towards the end of my period now and have not had intercourse.
What else can cause mild nausea besides pregnancy?
Any suggestions? Thanks!View Thread
After I eat a meal within 30-45 minutes after I eat I get diarhea with bad cramping. If it is IBS is there certain things that I should be eating or taking to help releive this?View Thread
Another thing that i've noticed that is strange is that often times my body doesn't fully digest the foods i eat, for example i notice bits of salad or seeds or chives in my stool. Also whenever i drink things that contain red food coloring, my stool is red. Hawaiian punch does it and sometimes daiquiris do as well.
I've always had these problems for the most part and i'm just a little concerned. Should i talk to my doctor about this? I'm afraid he is just going to tell me to stop eating the foods that i love and i am willing to put up with the constant upset stomach if that is the case.View Thread
I should be standing up for 20-30 min so the food will go down and it annoys really.
can anybody tell me why this happens?View Thread
I've been dealing with this issue off and on the past six weeks. I've been getting heartburn, often w/o eating. This leads to hic-ups, which can be painful. I address the problem by drinking water, but the problem will re-emerge maybe an hour later.
Any thoughts out there?

My husband and I went out to eat at a local Chinese buffet right before Christmas and as we were leaving I had a loud huge growl from my stomach which promptly brought about watery diarrhea, so my assumption was food poisoning. The only problem is that my issues haven't gone away.
My Doctor did all the stool tests and deducted that I had temporary lactose intolerance and told me to stay away from diary or take lactaid, which seemed to help but still not normal.
We tried a cycle of Cipro and I started to take probiatics which seemed to help the loose stools but now every thing I eat starts extremely loud rumblings from my stomach and intestines and the gas is terrible plus least to say embarrassing.
I also take Crestor 10mg a day and Avapro 75mg a day and fr herbal supplements I take 2000mg of cinnamon and chromium to regulate my blood sugar which runs a tad high.
I am going to schedule a colonoscopy since colon cancer runs in my family, but in the mean time does anyone have any idea on what could be going on or what I can do to stop me from going crazy?View Thread
All my life, I have constipation. I admit this is due to my unhealthy eating pattern with lots of meat, and no vegetables. I have diagnosed with anal fissures before by family doctor. My bowel movement is like once every three day. And when I pass stool, I strain and push a lot, and it cause bleeding, and extreme anus pain.
Lately for the past one month, it is getting bad, very painful when passing stool, and I can feel it tearing, and saw bright red blood drops in the toilet bowl.
No other pain or discomfort when eating or digestion, so I am sure that my anal fissures is coming back to haunt me, lol.
So my a few questions I want to ask. Can I just try a healthy diet and let the fissures heal? I know it will take weeks.
If I don't get this treated, it is possible to died from loosing blood? Can anal fissures itself cause anemia?
Any input is greatly appreciated, and thank you for reading.View Thread
But some times I have to sit for long periods of time in other offices, or meetings, etc. In such situations I am at a real disadvantage. I have to be there for 2 to 3 hours at a time. When that happens, I'm in trouble. What can I do to help stop the bleeding? I figure that taking aspirin isn't a good idea, so what else can I do?View Thread

I had a colonoscopy yesterday and didn't seem to have much discomfort from gas right after it but suffered the horrible trapped gas pain of SFS last night and all day today as well.
Does anyone know how long after a colonoscopy the gas and bloating will last?
ThanksView Thread
On March 23rd, I got the stomach virus, which consisted of throwing up and having diarrhea with everything I ate or drank. That lasted until March 27th (5 days). By the end my system was completely empty. The next day I was eating and drinking normal so I didn't think anything about being dehydrated. A week later I realized I had not had a bowel movement since I had been so sick with the stomach bug. So I started on the Miralax and did a Fleet enema. Then I realized I was possibly compacted somewhere because it was like the enema hit a brick wall and it came right back out, so I figured I would just let things runs its course. A day or two went by and I started hurting in my lower stomach and lower back and I had made the decision to go to the ER. Where I live I had the option of going to 2 different hospitals and I just chose the one where I knew they would work with me on paying my bill, considering I don't have insurance. They took a 3 way xray of my chest and belly. It had come back showing I was completely full but not compacted anywhere. So they had me do another Fleet enema in the hospital. Again the enema hit the same blockage and came right back out but this time was different because the only thing that came out was mucus and blood. I told this to the doctor and she acted like it was totally normal. She then gave me a bottle of magnesium citrate and told me to drink it at home. When I got home I did as the doctor said and I drank the magnesium citrate and laid down for a nap. This was about 4 in the afternoon. Around 11 pm that night my mother ended up waking me up to check my blood pressure because of how tired I was. Blood pressure was normal. I still had not had a bowel movement and she was getting concerned because the magnesium citrate was still in my system just sitting there. Then we made the decision to go to the other hospital's ER. There I got better treatment. The doctor did a magnesium citrate mixture enema and gave me a bag of fluids due to the fact I was dehydrated. I felt so much better after the 2nd trip to the ER. He also gave me a dose of Lactulose to take when I got home and a prescription for it. Then next day I got it filled and I was having results finally. But it was not soft stools it was like anything I ate or drank was going straight thru me and getting liquified coming out. I called the ER the next day and they told me to stop taking the Lactulose. The last dose I had taken of the Lactulose was Saturday the 6th at 2 pm. I still have not had any type of bowel movement since I stopped taking the Lactulose. I took a dose of the Lactulose at 4 pm today hoping I would have a bowel movement but so far nothing. Just a bunch of gas bubbles and gurgling.
Now I am wondering if there is something more severe going on than IBS, like maybe something wrong with my colon or gallbladder. I can not afford to go see a gastroenterologist. I have a follow-up appointment with my doctor on the 15th (which is the soonest she could get me in). Is there any testing I should suggest? Or a specific organ I should have her check? Would a colonoscopy be any help in helping pin point whats wrong? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated? Im kind of lost here.View Thread
