cause for long term acute diarrhea and abdominal cramping, belching

[Paderla Anitha, DNB]

Hi, your symptoms could be due to irritable bowel syndrome. IBS can cause a combination of symptoms, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, bloating and discomfort. The most common or primary symptom is usually abdominal pain. IBS is diagnosed when a person has abdominal pain or discomfort at least three times per month for the last 3 months without other disease or injury that could explain the pain.

IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion. If all the tests to rule out other disorders are done and found to be negative, then the diagnosis of IBS is made. You can maintain a food diary to see what is triggering your symptoms and avoiding them may help resolve your symptoms. Regards.

Thanks
I had a colonoscopy & biopsy (finally) and found out I have Lymphocytic / microscopic colitis. I thought it was IBS too but was getting no relief with IBS diet. Medication for this is VERY expensive. Diarrhea is better after 2 weeks of medicine but went to ER yesterday for severe stomach cramps. Also found out I allergic to all kinds of foods.
