I have severe sharp pain in my lower abdomen below my belly-button and above my pubic bone. I have maroon-colored loose stools, though it feels as though I am constipated. I have very bad gas and gas pain. I have a dull cramping ache when the pain is not sharp. I have recently noticed white oval shapes in my feces and small black flecks. Also, I have low energy, mild backache, mild headache and mild sore throat. These symptoms have been present for about a week. I am 30, female and had a child 5 months ago. I am sleep deprived, but I eat very well. I do not have my gallbladder any longer and I was at one time an alcoholic - 5 years ago. I have had kidney stones in the past. Can someone please shed some light - this is becoming very painful and causing quite a bit of concern. Thank-you!
