Hi I have had similar symptoms to what is being decribed... For the past week I have been making a trip to the bathroom 30 to 50 mins after consuming drink or food. The stool is usually yellow and fluffy. I also experience sharp pains in my lower adomem like cramping pains. My cousin yesterday suggested that I take a stool test.
I associated what was happening to me as gas before, but now after reading the comments I am starting to think differently. When I was in college and I took a long time to eat I ended up vomitting twice in one night and after drinking some ginger-ale and tea i was fine.
Any suggestions before I make that trip to see my PMD.
I am David Reid Lowell, ***@**** - and I have been to my Dr. Edward Driscoll (in Worcester) several times with a sharp pain on my left side, on a diagonal between my lower rib cage and the area between my left hip and belly button.
At times I bloat up like a basket ball and I feel like something inside me is tearing. When I sleep on my left side I have to put a pillow under me to ease the pain - sometimes it just goes away.
Sometimes I go the bath-room up to 5 times in one morning and sometimes 'not at all' on the weekend when everyone is home I can't go at all.
It REALLY hurts.
I have had a colonoscopy and one pallap was removed (benign). Since then I have had this problem. Dr. Driscoll did a CAT scan and it came back negative for anything in my stomach, intensities or colon. It did how a small cyst on my kidney and one on my lung which he said is no big deal because they are common in 50 year old.
It hurts, especially after I eat - I can no longer eat acidic food. I am now eating brown rice, and streamed veggies -
All my blood work is fine, have had recent counts done, everything is normal.
PLEASE advise me, I do not know here this coming from and my doctor says that there is nothing wrong with me... it is really, it hurts, and is very uncomfortable. It is also limited to that specific area of my left colon, intestines. It is like there is knot in me, or some on has stuck a knife in me...
What is odd is that it can just go away and then come back.
You've made the right choice by incorporating a digestive enzyme as well as doing the colonix. Colonix is a great cleansing program but there are other measures one needs to take to make it work for you.
For me I had to change my eating habits - I sought the help of a naturopath and found out I had food allergies and made a change in what I ate. It really helped with health. I did this 8 years ago and have never looked back.
Hope all is well with you now.

I don't know why but doctors in this country do not really believe in restoring the natural balance of your intestines...(natural bacteries)
This is a normal treatment in Europe, and also the first thing my doctor in Europe told me that was wrong with my son.
He told me to look for a medicine or supplement (as they call it here) with lactobacillus bacteries in....
The only one I could find was ACIDOPHILUS, in Europe you will find 5 to 10 brands who will sell you products for the restoration of your intestines...(sorry for my accent)
I would definately try this, no harm done if it does not work.
If I was you I would definately have a colonic done, I had this done as I was having problems myself and I feel much better now.... Every person should do this ones every year....
Toxin live in the bowel you know...
Anyway best of luck to you, I hope it works...

MY SON WHO IS 6 YEARS OLD HAS VERY LOOSE STOOL FOR ABOUT 4 WEEKS... The loose stool is only when he normaly goes to the bathroom (ones a day, maybe twice), not more or less...it is only sometimes watery or just very loos and light colored. The stool test came out negative.... Could it just be a virus that flakes up ones in a while? He has no fever, no pain, he is still very active.... Do I need to panic? or do I need to go trough all kinds of testing? I am from a European country and live in the US and my doctor at home told me that his intestines are just irigulated. I am now giving him ACIDOPHILUS to restore the balance of his intestines and it looks like it is slowly getting better...
Any help is welcome....

Finally got my tests back from the colonoscopy. The doctor said that I have colitis. He was going to call in Asacol for me to take three times a day. I still have the same problems that I stated earlier that began in June. I hope this works! It sure gets old not knowing what to expect!!
