Answer 1

Do you drink milk alot? If you do, and thats when this problem occurs, ask your parents or relatives about anyone else in your family that may be lacktose-intolerant. They have swallowable/chewable pills that help you cope with dairy products.

Otherwise.... it could just be diarhhea or simple gas... try taking an anti-gas medicine (over the counter) or even an antacid.

Answer 2

This definitely sounds like lactose intolerance. I experienced stomach pain also a few years ago, and it was after consuming milk & ice cream EVERY TIME. You may want to stop eating dairy products for a while, and drink lots and lots of water, instead of soft drinks. That should help with the gas. DON'T hold it in, that is probably making you feel worse. After a couple of days with these changes, if you are not feeling any better, go see your doctor. Your sleeping habits should change after your body notices the changes in your eating habits. Everything is directly related. Hope this helps~ you can email/ im me about it if you'd like.

Answer 3

It's possible that it could be a food allergy. Try changing your diet by gradually removing certain foods everyday to see if the sympton stop. If you think it's milk, remove it first. Some foods like lettuce and beans can cause gas so you might want to avoid those type of foods as well. If that doesn't help medical advice is your next best avenue.

I wouldn't think surgery is necessary - these days medcines or diet change, depending upon what is diagnosed, can remedy the problem.

Answer 4

There is a possibility you have a lactose intolerance(Milk and Milk by products, including mild chocolate). Passing gas in public is rude, but holding it in can cause you more problems. Talk with your doctor about foods to avoid that could give you gas, then go from there. Surgery is a long way yet, so don't worry about that for now.

Answer 5

stomach pains often confuse doctors, so I wouldn't want to guess what's wrong, but it sounds like it might be food related.

Try limiting your diet to just a few foods. Start with the BRAT diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. Eat only those items (which don't upset most stomachs) for at least a week and see if your symptoms go away. If so, add in one new food at a time. if symptoms return, don't eat that food again.

If the BRAT diet doesn't help, go see a doctor.

Answer 6

nuhhh.. surgery is not required here... it gotta do with the foods you eat or the drinks.. try to avoid those beans and chillis.. and also high carbohydrate drinks like coke.. just stay with water and nice clean food for a few days and you'll be good..

by the way don't hold the "fart"!! you can go to toilet or somewhere less ppl and release that gas!! if you hold it, the gas stay in your stomach and trouble you the whole day..

Answer 7

no surgery...you are eating something that is producing excess gas. Educate yourself on such foods and avoid them. Too much soda pop is one, but corn and cabbage are others. If you know you will be eating that which causes you poain and gas, then you might try something like gas-x or other such over the counter meds. If this isn't happening every week, then irritable bowel syndrom is unlikely.

Answer 8

Yes, it sounds like lactose intolerance.

Lactose intolerance occurs when the body cannot easily digest lactose, the kind of sugar found in milk and dairy products. This happens when the small intestine does not make enough of an enzyme called lactase. Your body needs lactase to break down, or digest, lactose.

When lactose moves through the large intestine (colon) without being properly digested, it can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as gas, pain in the belly, and bloating. Some people with lactose intolerance cannot digest any milk products while others can eat or drink small amounts of milk products or certain types of milk products without problems.

Lactose intolerance is common in adults. The biggest challenges for people who are lactose-intolerant are knowing how to eat to avoid discomfort and getting enough calcium to maintain healthy bones.

What causes lactose intolerance?

There are three types of lactose intolerance.

Adult lactose intolerance is the most common type. Usually, people inherit this type of lactose intolerance from a parent and develop symptoms as a teen or an adult. Most people with this type of lactose intolerance can eat some milk or dairy products without problems.
Acquired lactose intolerance occurs when the small intestine stops making lactase, either temporarily or permanently. This can happen if you have a short-term illness such as the stomach flu, a lifelong disease such as cystic fibrosis, or an operation to remove a part of your small intestine.
Congenital lactose intolerance is a rare condition that is present at birth. A person with congenital lactose intolerance cannot eat or drink anything with lactose.
Sometimes a premature baby has temporary lactose intolerance because he or she is not yet able to make lactase. Once a baby begins to make lactase, the condition generally goes away.

What are the symptoms of lactose intolerance?

Symptoms of lactose intolerance can be mild to severe, depending on how much lactase your body makes. Symptoms usually begin 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating or drinking milk products. If you have lactose intolerance, your symptoms may include:

Bloating.
Pain or cramps.
Gurgling or rumbling sounds in your belly.
Gas.
Loose stools or diarrhea.
Throwing up.
Many people think they are lactose-intolerant because the symptoms of lactose intolerance are very common symptoms. If you feel sick after drinking a glass of milk one time, you probably do not have lactose intolerance. But if you feel sick every time you have milk, ice cream, or another dairy product, you may have lactose intolerance.

Sometimes people who have never had problems with milk or dairy products suddenly develop lactose intolerance. This is more common as you get older.

If you think you might have lactose intolerance, talk it over with your doctor. Your doctor can make sure that your symptoms are caused by lactose intolerance and not by another problem.

How is it treated?

There is no cure for lactose intolerance, but you can treat your symptoms by limiting or avoiding milk products. You can also take dietary supplements called lactase products that help digest lactose. In time, most people with lactose intolerance get to know their bodies well enough that they can avoid symptoms caused by lactose intolerance.

Answer 9

Well,
when you have the gas you could go to a bathroom or to a isolated room and let it all out that might help with future pains and Advil dose help with pains Maybe you just have a sickness that you have to get over by letting it all out .

Answer 10

hey, I understand what you are saying totally!
I heard of issues like this, but first off, you really have to visit the doctors for professional advise, you only have one life and one chance in life.

well, this might be due to some virus... might have eaten the wrong things? or maybe when you exercise, you hurt your stomach, and therefore, your body couldn't digest your food and thus causing that much problems in your case.
