constipation and diarrhoea problem
by fizzymoon1, Apr 28, 2009 03:57PM
I had some sort of stomach bug exactly a week ago. It started suddenly with horrendous stomach pains and diarrhoea and lasted about 8 hours after which i felt fine. I do not have any clue what caused it as i had ate nothing unusual. The problem i have now is i have not been to the loo properly since it happened. I eat loads of fruit and drink fresh orange juice daily but no joy. I feel fine but i am starting to get really worried as people have said you can die if you do not go. Any help or advice would be appreciated thanks.

The symptoms that you are having can be due to irritable bowel syndrome. Common symptoms include abdominal cramping or pain, bloating and gassiness, and altered bowel habits(alternate constipation and loose stools).
Irritable bowel syndrome can be a very difficult diagnosis to make. IBS is called a diagnosis of exclusion, which means that a doctor considers many other alternatives first, perhaps performing tests to rule out other problems.So pls consult a gastroenterologist.
Treatment includes addition of more fiber in your diet,cessation of smoking and taking stress and anxiety,antispasmodic medicines,antidiarrheal medicines,antidepressants and new medicines like Alosetron (Lotronex) and Tegaserod (Zelnorm).
I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Kind regards.
