Irritation And Unexplained...

---

I've been areader of the community but I've never posted before. Anyhow:

Ever since I went to College and experienced the food there, I haven't had normal bowel movements.
Anymore, I wake up in the middle of the night with extreme stomach aches and have to go to the bathroom. Some mornings I've had to go at least 4 times (meaning I would finish, and go lay down, only to have it start again) before the stomach ache would subside.
Also, I've experienced where I cannot keep food in me. I will eat, and then shortly after, have to go to the bathroom.
It's gotten to the point where it actually burns and is irritating.
I researched on the netabout Irrital Bowel Syndrome also. I'm not exactly sure if I have that or not. It states that those with IBS don't actually feel like they are finished going to the bathroom. Only a few times has the happened.
Also, in the morninfg, if I happen to swallow any saliva in my mouth after waking up, I end up getting a stomach ache and having to go to the bathroom. I've figured eliminating bad breathe by brushing my teeth as soon as I get up, but that doesn't really help either.
None of this started happening until I went to college.
I would be sitting in class andf my stomach would begin to rumble and cause sharp pains in stomach and pelvis near the left side.
I figured I would try Gas-Ex pills as well but they don't exactly work.

I'm not sure what this is. And any info on it would help. Thanks for your time.

Do you feel like your under a shit load more stress now as apposed to the time period before you went to school?Where you ever like this before, at home, maybe just not bad?Is your diet significantly different now? I mean before was it mom's health cooking and now there's a lot of greasy crappy pizza and the like?It sounds like IBS to me, maybe compounded as a result of stress, but what the hell do I know.

Well it seemed appropriate for the post. LoL :grin:
I honestly thought no one would catch it.

My wife (will be wife) is going through the same shit these days.No change of diet but now the old diet makes her sick more often than not.activa yogurt a cup of it a day has helped her tremendosly, she is also seeing a doctor and the curent belief, but not proven or even considered a diagnosis is gall bladder trouble.try the yogurt, and look into getting checked out incase its somethign more than jsut a shitty diet

Have you noticed that the stomach problems occur after you eat specific foods ? such as bread pasta etc etc , it could be a case of Coeliac.If you have not had a radical diet change since attending college it is worth a visit to your GP to ask about either IBS or Coeliac.
