I had a complete colon resection and had half of my stomach removed from a very large tumor, about the size of a softball or even bigger. I was 30 years old now I’m 33 and I am starting to feel those same old systems again, at the time the docs found it they gave me six months then said they thought they got it all and said maybe I would make it. I have a wife of 4 yrs due with our child any day, I can’t or won’t go through this hell again I lost 90lbs the fist time. I just wish I would have stayed at home and let nature take its place these last 2 and a half yrs have been hell I’m now broke I lost every thing I had worked for, for 15 yrs on the same job.

My abdominal pain starts in the morning and increases throughout day. Milk of Magnesia and anti-acid/anti-gas OTC liquids take the edge off during periods of hunger when stomach pain worsens. It feels like a burning and inner-writhing of spasms at its worst and strange noises can be heard within. I'm thinking that less food throughout day may result in less trauma at night trying to relax. It feels under pressure then and especially sensitive. Published: August 04 ::

I had severe abdominal pain just around and below navel that would begin and get worse for a few days, then start to lessen gradually. It left me incapacitated for a week at a time. I had 13 attacks over the course of two years at the age of 58. I had many, many tests with no answer. Finally, my gastroenterologist told me I had irritable bowel and would have to live with it. My answer was that something was causing it, and I was not going to live with it. I had no other symptoms. I finally discovered, on my own that the cause was aspartame. I had been consuming one or two diet cocoa’s a day most days, didn't have any other diet food or drink. Have not had aspartame (or any other artificial sweetener) in 8 years, and have been pain free all that time. Published: July 28 ::

I am 40years with a history of severe abdominal pains, as a result, I underwent three surgeries (closed colonoscopy) with no success. This has been going since 1996. Sometimes I feel as if I am constipated, bloated and my stomach will be distended, however, at the same time I will be having a running stomach. several medication have been prescribed which I feel they are not assisting at all because when the pains begins, just becomes worse which might last from one day to several days. Recently, I had another attack which was worse. According to my doctor after performing another colonoscopy, after many times, said the problem might be caused by the narrowing of the colon as a result of the three surgeries (scars which cannot heal). My concern is that before those surgeries, the pain was there, which presupposes that something is causing the pain. According to my doctor, he is very reluctant to perform the fourth surgery because it cannot guarantee less pain for me in future. Please, can anyone advise me what to do, any dietary plan to follow, etc, or is there any solution to manage my condition. Published: July 28 ::

Dr.'s seem to have no clue. Also gets lightheaded, dizzy and blurred vision when standing up. Very, very concerning to everyone in my family, Doctors are not being proactive. Do not know where to turn for help. Published: August 04 ::

I have been to the emergency room twice with this crampy, painful stomach. Both times I was given antibiotics. As soon as I used up the medications, the pain was back. I don’t know how people put up with the pain. I can’t go out for a meal as the pain starts as soon as I eat. I’m now only taking Maalox and Tylenol as needed. Published: August 01 ::

I experienced the mild abdomen pain at around 3 inches left and around 2 inches down from the navel and I also got a frequent feeling of thirst and also observe a mild change of colour of my stool that is slightly brown, the colour is usually in the present in the starting stool. And from about six months I also got stress in my mind due to bad dreaming which I consider serious. The Doctor prescribed me 1)L-cin and 2)Dyoflux and he told me that I might have an infection in my upper GI. Published: June 26 ::
