Diarrhea like cramping for 5 days, it gets worse when I drink any fluid [water, juice, milk...]?

Question

I have already booked an appointment to see my doctor but they are not going to be able to see me for a few days, so in the meantime, I just want to ask around on what this might be and if anyone ever experienced anything similar.

I have been having this constant cramping for about 5 days now. It feels like diarrhea pain, it can get really bad at times, sometimes it even wakes me up at night. When it happens, I feel like I can't speak because it is that painful, I sweat. It seems to get worse when I drink something especially when I drink water (it doesn't matter what kind of water - bottled, tap...). When it happens, I run for the toilet because it feels like I can't hold it in anymore, but when I get there, there's nothing, I just sit there with an incredible amount of pain that sometimes almost makes me cry. Starting today my tummy feels kinda heavy and it looks swollen as well. I was thinking of going to the emergency, but I don't know if it's something that I need to go there for

Answer 1

If you are not passing flatus, I think you should go to the ER for a visit and let them take an XR of your abdomen.
You could have so many things, its hard to tell what is wrong here. Maybe
1. colitis
2. diverticulitis
3. gastroenteritis
4. bowel obstruction
5. flu virus
6. intestinal infections with giardia, c dif, shigella, campylobacter etc......
7. appendicitis
I am a nurse, and I think you should go to the ER for an exam.
You could be making things worse by waiting this one out.

You have got to have just a little little bit of each. It's well to have each milk and Orange Juice, due to the fact they each help valuable vitamins and minerals for your frame. Drink each three Milk three Orange juice. Drinking a complete lot of milk can provide you diarea, so it is well to even it out with whatever distinct, even water. If you drink alot of milk, take a look at consuming a few peanut butter. It will clog you up, and provide your bowels a leisure. Also, keeping a healthful nutrition and excersise could be very major while you drink alot of milk. Even if it is low fats milk, It nonetheless could make you somewhat 'chunky'. Being athletic, walking, and doing hobbies that contain motion could be whatever well to burn off all the ones energy. I could take a look at Silk (soy milk) it should sound gross, however it is honestly very well, and really healthful!

YES, If I were you I would go straight to the Emergency Room, if your stomach is swollen and you have pain, you need to make sure that its not your gallbladder, or severe constipation etc. They can find out what is wrong, Please don't wait as it could get worse. It could be something serious that needs immediate attention. God Bless You, And I hope this helps. Now Go!
