Ever since Halloween, i have been waking up every morning at 8:30am, with a pain in my lower abs and I have to go to the washroom. Unfortunatly it doesnt stop there. I at least have to got 2 more times before the afternoon. (Sorry to be so graphic and detailed!!) I have noticed that my stool is not normal.
What should I do? Should I be taking anything? Help!!
P.S. Upon having to go to the washroom so many times, my stomach is also upset, and on some days I can not eat anything until dinner time. This cant be too healthy!!!
Please Give me your advice if you have any!! :D
Thanks!!
Michelle

You mentioned "since Hallowen." Have you been eating a lot of chocolate since Halloween? Chocolate tends to give SOME people loose stools. (like my daughter.) Ease up on the candy, drink lots of water and see if your condition improves within a day or so. If it doesn't, SEE YOUR DOCTOR. =)

You are right, this does not sound right. The best thing that I can see is go to your doctor, they will probably ask you to give them a stool sample, they send it off to the lab, and before you know it they will sort it out for you. In the mean time, I would try eating these anti bacterial yoghurts, keep to plain things like just water, chicken with no herbs or spices, or light things like eggs, or omlettes, keeping it really plain and loads ov water could help now, until you can get to the doc's. hope this has helped you.

Just like dogs eating grass to cleanse their systems, your body is trying its best to cleanse itself. Since there seems to be difficulty in that happening - when you are able to stay home and near the toilet - drink an entire bottle of Magnesium Citrate - it will work like dynamite - but you will get thoroughly cleansed - better than an enema because, believe me, it gets you really clean! Don't be alarmed if you get crampy - that's that stuff gurgling through and grabbing up all the crap, pardon the pun! DON'T try to stop it - it's natural and it's GOT to run its course. Check with your doctor, whenever, but it doesn't sound like an emergency. Do the Magnesium Citrate thing first! I swear it works! I always keep a bottle in my fridge!

I would suggest that you talk to a doctor as it may be a symptom of a more serious problem, and considering the onset was around halloween, you can never be too careful if you you ingested candy handed out by strangers. Dont be embarassed about talking to your doctor im sure they have seen and are aware of more severe cases of GI problems than yours.

almost a month now,.. hum... are you still eating the candy? could you have been given bad candy? could you be pregnant? it might be simple as a stomach bug. try some pepto-bismal. if a few days go by and nothing gets beter you might want to go see the doc. with any problem with diarrhea you should be drinking lots of fluids. of corse water is best, but pedialight is good, some people really like sprite/7-up for tummy problems. but any soda or juice should be drank in small amounts.

maybe you have a bacteria in your intestines? You need to see a doctor and give a fresh stool sample to the lab. The only problem is the container to hold the stools in not very big so good luck getting it in there.

You didn't say if you were nauseated also. Perhaps this is a form of morning sickness and is more of a condition than an illness. You might need to go see an OBGYN.

are you drinking cold water just before you lay down? I find that causes problems. I would also suggest that because you didn't have the problem before Halloween, you see a doctor.

Take some Immodium until it settles (One dose may be enough). You probably won't go for a day or two after, but that will give your inners a chance to calm down and hopefully all will return to normal.
You may have eaten something that upset you before and it has just continued to be aggravated so you need to give your bowels arest.
