I have had a weak, bad, unstable stomach since i was a kid...
i hardly went to doctors because they were so random.
Recently i went to a doctor who told me i had irritable bowel syndrome, so i already know what it is. I know im not supposed to eat sour, spicy hot stuff, and also coffee, tea. I had medication which was of no use. In the past, i also had a tube go down to my stomach to examine but also nothing was found.
I recently banned myself from drinking milk and eating milk-related stuff such as chocolate and cheese because i find its safer not to eat them, and also oily food/snacks.
I've also banned myself from all kinds of drinks except water, milo and occasionally apple juice.

Nothing seems to work. The pain is still unbearable, unexpectable. its going to drive me crazy after almost a life of dealing with stomach pain almost every week. No particular food triggers the pain.

I wish someone could tell me what to do, because im so stressed out, and i have a hemorrhoid as well

What is the very best cardio exercise to do when you are trying to burn the most amount of fat? Is it running? And if you have had an injury, ( such as a knee injury) what is a good substitute for it when you do not like to run, or you can't run much?

For a 120 lb who exercises vigorously (out of necessity - skateboarding from point A to b to C etc...) about 6 hours of exercise apart from yoga a week...
Veggie burger with whole wheat bread, tea and coffee are staples, along with greens and the occasional fruit.
Any opinions? What if you eat this way for months? I haven't had any side effects and haven't noticed a drastic change in weight. Thanks!

I know I'll get theanswers from kids based on what they have been taught & that's great, but I'm looking for replies from people that know about the subject.

My aunt is an RN, late 50's, and a smoker of 30 years... with no trace of COPD. My grandfather lived to be 85 and smoked since he was 12, no respiratory problems.

My aunt says that medical experts and scientists don't really KNOW what causes emphysema and if you talk to one they will tell you they think it CAN increase your chances of developing the disease, but aren't even sure by what %. I have read her med journals that skate around the subject.

She says people that don't smoke and live in highly industrialized cities get it as often as people that smoke. She says she's treated as many patients with emphysema that didn't smoke as ones that did, many of those not subjected to 2nd hand smoke

Does smoking CAUSE emphysema or not? I know I'll get "if you smoke, you'll die", but I'm hoping for educated input

I was on the minipill for a month and then I was switched to Kariva since I am no longer breast feeding. Just wondering, with the minipill I spotted occasionally since it was still during the 6 week recovering from giving birth. And now I am on the last week of my Kariva pills and still no period. I have taken 2 of the 7 days so far. When should I be expecting it? And did anyone have any terrible side efffects with Kariva when they were on it?

I have had a dull ache in my side for a week, then thursday and Friday last week I suffered what my doctor called Renal Colic and was screaming in agony! I had an injection and some tablets. the spasms have subsided but still 3 days later I feel sick and still ache like crazy. It still feels like someone is stabbing me when I move. Is this normal, have I passed the stone? Thanks x

I've been plagued with Rectal bleeding over 1 month. Finally got up the nerve to go see doc, and he scheduled me for colonoscopy. Won't know result of that until 11/14. Who wants to wait that long? My hair is growing like crazy, and I've lost 20lbs since 3/2007.

Are there any other physical symptoms associated with colon cancer? There are no changes in bowel habits. Do I have reason to worry?
