Why do my feet hurt when I'm about to have a bowel movement?

[PinkPlaydoh]

For the past month now, I have had chronic diarreah. Everything I eat, gives me diarreah. It is extremely painfull. I get cramps that radiate into my legs and down to my feet. I am litterally screaming in pain, in the bathroom. I have had this problem since I was a kid, and it seems to have gotten worse recently. I can't eat anything without getting bad cramps and diarreah. I have to drink half a bottle of pepto bismol, to keep myself from spending hours in the bathroom. When the Pepto wears off, I will get woken up at 7:30 am, with bad gas and cramping. Then the diarreah will start up again. It will hurt really bad, and then I'll have a movement. Then  I feel ok, and then a minute later, the pain and another small movement comes. I now have a dull aching that shows up in my feet, right before the cramps and bowel movements start. The pain gets worse right before I have the movement. I can't take it anymore! This diarreah is controlling my life and making it very hard to do normal every day things. I'm stuck at home sometimes cuz I can't stop going to the bathroom. The pain is excruciating and nothing seems to make it go away. I take immodiums, but they're expensive and when they wear off, I feel like I wanna die. I have been to doctors for this same problem, minus the foot pain, and they give me the same line of bull. "It's stress." It's not stress! I have nothing to be stressed out about! My life is pretty peacefull. I'm desparate for answers and some kind of relief. I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've tried telling my friends and they tell me I'm insane an that it's all in my head. I just wanna scream when they say that to me. I feel like I'm all alone in this battle and there is no hope of winning it. Please, anyone, if anyone out there knows what's wrong, please tell me!!

One more note, do you find yourself having cramps in your calf muscle like I did for years?????    I bet you do!
This is a symptom of Magnesium deficiency!

Also every time you go to your doctor your Heart rate is constantly above 90-near tachycardia.........This is also an indication of Magnesium deficiency.

go to wikipedia and search:  'hypomagnesemia' then look at the symptoms, and I guarantee YOU WILL SEE THAT YOU ARE DEFICIENT IN JUST THIS ONE NUTRIENT!

Niacin deficiency is characterized by 4 D's....
-Diahrea
-Dermititis
-Dementia
-Death

B6 and B12 and folate deficiency equals SHRUNKEN BRAIN which means you have lost Millions of Neurons.........................................................................................................
..........
You are Deficient in B-vitamins, Magnesium, vitamin K2, VITAMIN C because of the daily diahrea!     TO fix the Neurons in the colon, you must take alot of these nutrients to counteract the effect of the diahrea so DO NOT DRINK caffeine or Alcohol during this period because these are diuretics and make you urinate alot so you urinate the micronutrients out, and YOU ALREADY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DIAHREA DEPLETING your body of them.

THE key to fixing these nerves is taking a bunch of those micronrutrients in my previous post JUST DO NOT take more than 400 mg of magnesium, any more than that and it will become a Laxative.     To get more magnesium in your depleted body, Use Epsom Salt in your bathtub when you take a bath!!!!!

You have PROCTITIS, and Tenesmus which is very painful bowel-movements is a symptom of it.    As the time goes by, the Proctitis just gets worse and worse, i.e., the pain during BM is just unbearable to the point that your toes and feet curl just like Bruce Willis did in Diehard..........................I had Proctitis for like 12 years and FIXED it with supplements that are Great for the brain which is a Big Bundle of Neurons because I reached the conclusion that I developed Proctitis from some really bad diahrea that I exposed myself to from Chinese food that I consumed for like 15 years.     The explosive diahrea over the years caused my body to get DEFICIENT in some of those Micronutrients that are CRITICAL for neuronal health like Niacin, Magnesium, vitamin K2, etc.......The malfunctioning or INJURED nerves cause the immune system to attack JUST like it attacks other areas that are injured like a wrist when you sprain it, an infected cut, an insect bite, etc..

To FIX those nerves you will need an account at swansonvitamins or any other supplement company to BUY:   Tripple Magnesium Complex 400mg/capsule, Balance B-100, Odor controlled garlic 500mg/capsule, Niacinamide 500 mg/capsule, Time-release vitamin c 1000 mg/capsule, vitamin k2, cayenne pepper capsule and any other supplement you feel like you will need like fish oil.........These are Great supplements for the brain and nerves, heart, bones, etc..   for example, google:  "vitamin k2 parkinson's" or this one: "vitamin k2 pancreatic cancer"
Start taking vitamin K2 to make sure YOU DON'T GET CANCER!

Protocol for you to fix those nerves:
-take 400 mg magnesium daily

-take a B-100 capsule with each meal

-take 2 of those 500 mg odor controlled garlic capsules with each meal if you can which comes out to some 6 capsules daily.    Garlic is very important for fixing this so TAKE as much as you and others around you can tolerate.    Garlic is SULFUR and SULFUR IS NEEDED!

-take at least 4 of those time-release vitamin c 1000 mg capsules daily so that your body can make the collagen that is needed in your skin.    You may want to add L-Lysine to your vitamin-c so that your body can make Elastin which is also needed.

-take 3 vitamin K2 tablets every day and make sure to take a fish pill capsule every time you take a vitamin K2 capsule.    You may consider vitamin k1 for this.   Vitamin K2 is critical for the myelin covering nerves to be made in your body

-take 2 of those 500 mg Niacinamide capsules daily, one in the morning and other in evening after supper.

-experiment with just ONE cayenne capsule if you buy them but be sure to take it after one of your meals.



Your body and nerves there in your colon took years to MALFUNCTION so DO NOT EXPECT RESULTS over night, but I do promise that the Garlic, sulfur, and other micronutrients will fix it IN less than 2 years, and you'll see results within weeks if you take as much of the micro nutrients as posted........It took my Proctitis about 2.5 years for me to declare myself healed with absolutely NO SYMPTOM.

I should mention that the proliferation of candida is often caused by sugar and starches, antibiotics, and prednisone and inhaled steroids. Candidiasis is an under-diagnosed ailment.

[allmymarbles]

When doctors fail to diagnose an ailment they often ascribe it to "stress," or "anxiety." or "autoimmune," a term growing in popularity. I guess it hurts to say, "I don't know what is wrong with you."

Some of those on this forum may be suffering from a pathogen, in which case the most likely culprit is Candida albicans. There are cases of IBS, Crohn's and similar problems in my family. We are having early success by treating one of the sufferers for candidiasis. He is taking Lugol's solution since fungicides don't work and have serious side effects.

Hi from London.
I have similar stomach problems as those that you have described , I'm 44 years old and this problem started when I was 11 or 12 years old.
I've recently been diagnosed with a condition named BILE SALT MALABSORBTION , Google it and see if it corresponds with your symptoms.
Don't be fobbed off with useless doctors telling you that it's caused by stress , that doesn't help you at all does it.

Good luck with it , it's not a nice problem to have and there's no real fix for it  :-(    .
I now take large quantities of a powder called COLESTYRAMINE (also know by different names).
This powder does sometimes help settle it down , but as I have a particularly bad case of BSM the symptoms never totally disappear.
