Bowel problem??

Question

For about 2 months I have been getting cramps in the lower left and right parts of my abdomen, and sometimes just random crampy pains all over the stomach. I'm having a unltrasound and barrium in a week but was wondering what I could expect they might find.

Here are some of my symptoms:

* The stomach cramps ( on left and right but more frequent on right)
* I can feel the pain in my lower back in cramp from too
* Sometimes get an extremely sharp pain so bad I am doubled up ( this only happens on the lower left side)
* Pain sometimes in upper right abdomen
* occasional blood in stool
* loose stools
* stool is very tiny, comes out in pebbles no bigger than finger nail. (too much info sorry)
* Mucous in stool
* Always really tired
* Hips and thigh area are sore/joint pain
* my eyes are sore lol
Sometimes the pain goes away completely and I can't feel it for hours and then other times its there almost constantly but in cramp form.
Anyone know these symptoms??

Hi Anna

If your colon is bunged up, it can start to cause all sorts of health problems in the body. Eat lots of fruit and veg, include plenty of fiber in your diet and buy a colon cleanse from a health food store or online if necessary. It's also good to get some colonic irrigation. It makes you feel so clean inside and you get the urge to put only good food in your body after you've been cleansed.

1. Drink at least 8 glasses of water, herbal tea or unsweetened juice each day
2. Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper
3. Eat every two hours, by having healthy snacks in between meals. Eating frequently increases your metabolism.
4. Eat lots of fruit and veg.
5. When having potatoes, rice or pasta, just have a small portion.

1) Eat at least 5 servings of different fruits and vegetables every day. Don't eat any junk/snack type food until you've had at least 5 fruits/vegetables.

2) Stick to whole, unprocessed foods such as whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts. As much as you can, try to eat foods that don't have a brand name! So, for example, eat oatmeal (you can buy oats in the bulk bin of most grocery stores) instead of Honey Bunches of Oats.

3) Eliminate partially hydrogenated oil and high-fructose corn syrup completely.

4) Drink a gallon of water instead of soda. If you really want juice, make it a nutritious juice, such as orange juice. Apple and grape juices have very little in the way of nutrients.

5) Minimize animal products, especially fatty ones, as much as possible.

A juice fast and cleanse with herbs would be very beneficial for your health.

Im currently on a 21 day juice cleanse (no eating) with an intake of herbs that help move the toxins out of the body. I get enough nutrition from the herbs (colon, liver, and kidney cleanse) and drink a lot of water during the day, so I dont get hungry during the day. I do this to teach and show people how beneficial this is for your health.

Nutrition is also the best remedy to help the healing process and by juicing the nutrition gets into the blood quickly, (seconds) instead of food and going through the whole process of digesting.

Dr Richard Shulze, "Every patient that walked into my clinic was nutritionally depleted."


Please do a thorough cleanse of your system and you'll come out ahead I promise.

Best of health to you

Answer 2

Could be all that you listed and/or an infection/irritation/ulcer and then again it could be a bad food allergy.

I suggest you wait to see the results of the tests and begin now to eat very healthy (no junk foods, sodas, etc.). Eat veggies that are barely cooked with no butter or sauces, or better yet raw. Apples, the quercetin in them is good for your digestive track. Lean meats, small portions of a light fish or chicken and absolutely NO RED MEAT. That takes the longest and causes the most problems for those with digestive issues.

Take a probiotic (see health food store refrig) daily. Eat some natural yogurt (no sugars/fruits) like Nancy's for instance which comes with no fruit, no sugars and they have organic too. Take a look at "Gut Solutions" (they have a website too) by Brenda Watkins, she speaks of the entire digestive system in the book.

Rest, drink lots of pure water, and take short walks when you feel well to take your mind off of this and get out in some fresh air. Take care, hope you feel better very soon.

You could have Celiac's (intolerance of gluten) or severe lactose intolerance. Try a week with no dairy in your diet to see if that helps. If it doesn't, add the dairy back in and avoid wheat/gluten for 2 weeks to see if that helps.
