Hello, Has anyone hear ever had diverticulitis? I was diagnosed with diverticulosis in my sigmoid colon in 2006. Earlier this week I started having sharp pains on the lower left side of my abdomen, and last night the pain got a LOT worse. This morning I can barely even walk, I have to be curled up in my bed. I don't have a fever. I have had many problems with my ovaries, including a recent ...

Hi, I am 56 in great shape and great health. Over the last few months however I get discomfort in my abdominal area, mainly on the left side. It's not pain just achiness and a feeling that something is there poking me but not painful. Over a year ago same thing happened and when I went to my physician she had a CT done and found kidney stones in both kidneys. Went to urologist, he did ...

I have been having these really bad stomach aches. First of all I know when I will get one because I have heartburn all day before it happens. The stomach ache is not a typical one either. It is so bad that I can't even move. I am not able to sit up or stand up straight. I just lay in a fetal position for about four or five hours usually half a day or night. It makes me feel like I am ...

Oct 08 I went to the ER many times for right stomach pain. They did every test possible nothing. They sent me to a GI Doctor. I almost passed out their luckly the hospital was across the street. I was quickly wheeled over. More tests nothing, I was then admited. On the 1st I went in for expoloritory surgery. They had seen that my intestine was telescoping. but when they went to fix it it was ...

Adding more fiber drinking more water i even tryed the Activia Yogurts but nothing changed at all.. She never really complaned about it hurting to poop. She ...

Hello, Looking for some feedback or advice on what lactose intolerant symptoms and some remedies.

I got my gallbladder removed 5 years ago - summer 2003. I have had increasingly bad intestinal problems since and a recent colonoscopy showed a lot of scar tissue. The dr said it might be from the gallbladder surgery but really didn't have a definitive answer. I had a barium enema done which revealed an "ahaustral appearance," stricture and spasm. Is that some sort of really late effect of ...

I have had right side pain that makes my entire right side seize with pain and contractions since about 1 1/2 years ago. They had done numerous blood tests, CT, and then the Hidascan came back that my Gallbladder was only functioning at 3% so they removed it. I also was diagnosed with GERD on Endoscope along with Candida twice in my esophagus which they have put me on Prilosec for. The surgery ...

I had my gallbladder removed at age 21. Cholecystitis at a young age ( early 20s) runs in my family and doesn't have much to do with the usual causes. Anyway, I am now 26 and I have had phantom pain on occassion but nothing too bad, just made me uncomfortable really. It almost always occured when i was stuck in a car for a long period of time. Usually i would stop the car, walk around a ...

For years I have had frequent, sometimes uncontrollable bowel movements. I now have hemorrhoids and the frequent bowel movements make the hemorrhoids worse. My quality of life is starting to deteriorate. I want to go on a cruise but am afraid to go because of this condition. Any help out there?

I am a 28 year old male. I have been having increasing digestive issues over the past 2 months. I have visited the doctor 4 times over the 60 day period and still have not found any relief. I have constant gas like pressure in my upper abdomen. It also feels like my intestines are contracting quite a bit when I lay down. I also suffer from shortness of breath that lasts for about 24 hours...

I observed some white-ish things in my stool the past 2 times. Somewhat shaped like a sesame seed, or a piece of rice. I've never had a problem digesting anything and I think it may be tapeworm eggs. I've tried looking at pictures to verify but the pictures I find are all microscopic. I would love to go to the doctor but they cant get me in for another two months. I dont really eat beef, or ...
