Stomach Cramp, Diarrhea, sweating , light headedness and fainting
I have experienced on 4 occasions in the last 6 years a rather weird Diarrhoea attack which really is painful and scary. Here is a description of what occurs.
1. Sudden abdominal pain which increases in intensity over a short time. The same sensation one might get when they are about to get Diarrhoea.
2. I go to the toilet and try excreting whatever wants to come out. However after about a minute of sitting there with nothing coming out I suddenly few light headed and am starting to get a dizzy spell like I am about to faint and my breathing weakens.
3. This borderline fainting sensation lasts for about another minute before I break out into a sudden sweat all over my body. Within a few seconds I have sweat literally pouring out of me, my clothes are wet as if I ran a marathon or something.
4. After a minute of sweating I suddenly feel something coming out of my rear end. I try to squeeze it out and only a hard stool comes out.
5. The sweating stops and the stomach cramp subsides. I think everything is over and I clean up. I walk out of the toilet and in about 2 minutes time the stomach cramp and the fainting sensation comes back (I've fainted only once to date from this and was out for about 15-20 minutes).
6. When I get back to the toilet I have a really violent Diarrhoea episode in pure liquid state. It takes a few minutes to subside and once I

Hi..I've posted in the past on this thread.. Anyway, I first started having all this happen about 15 years ago. I actually passed out on a few occasions. Over the past few years, the episodes haven't been as severe. On Monday, think it was one of the worst ones in along time. Felt fine when I got up at 5:30am, then about 10 minutes before leaving for work, that familiar feeling came over me. Thought I could get past it, but I don't know how I made it driving the whole mile to work. Upon arriving at work, I spent most of a 1-1/2 in the bathroom. Severe sweating, abdominal cramps, dizzyness, nausea and don't know how I avoided passing out.. Several bm's (noticed a bit of blood towards the end). Extremely weak for a few hours after.
Now, yesterday and today, I have passed gas with mucousy blood. Takes a few wipes to get clean. Just wondering if anybody has experienced anything like this before? Thinking about calling doctor...

I have had a mucous like substance come out occasionally when having a bowel movement or attempting to. I've always assumed it was from my runny nose running down the back of my throw. As far as having that happen in conjunction with all the other horrible symptoms I have visit me, it was not part of it. Good luck.
Hi I’m wondering if oh found anything out with the blood/mucus? I had a similar experience.
Hi everyone oh my goodness I'm so glad i'm not the only one either! I've experienced the EXACT same thing for 3 times now. The first one I had was when I was 16 I think (I'm 19 now)
It started of with a normal stomach ache (which happens to me a lot everytime after I eat) so I deliberately went to the toilet & sat there but nothing came out (lol) but yeah I was like "Oh, alright I guess it's a false alarm then"
and as soon as I went out of the bathroom, suddenly I felt very nauseous, I really felt like vomitting and there was this severe headache which I thought was migraine at the time. My ears were ringing so loud then my head was spinning, my vision was blurry and everything around me was literally black & white. I leaned to the walls of the hallway to get a grip of myself and the nauseous feeling was back. A lady saw me struggling so she held me & asked if I was okay (I assumed, since I really couldn't focus on anything then)
Then I felt having diarrhoea, so I went back to the toilet and cold sweat was coming out and I felt REALLY weak. After I went to the toilet everything was okay again, like nothing actually happened.
The same thing had been happening to me thrice already and the cure is always to go to the toilet when the diarrhoea attacks.
Hope this helps hahaha.

Happy New Year! Woke up today planning a bike ride after the festive season food and alcohol. Instead spent an hour on toilet with that excruciating gut pain (I agree it is worse than childbirth), sweat explosions, throat-scouring retching (but no vomit), poo uncoiling and erupting in multiple bouts and desperation to pass out on the floor (beside the nightgown I stripped off). After finding this site, I realise I am lucky to have had months, even years, between episodes since this started happening to me at 19, mostly before periods. At 56, I am on hormone replacement therapy (a factor?). It also happens when I've been active but pooing poorly (hydration issue?), and I am a vego who eats dairy and also bulky foods (which some above have implicated). For me there is also family history of bowel conditions (including Crohns) among women.
This sounds exactly like what resulted in my diagnoses of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) at 23. I was truly surprised- the intense pain and other symptoms seemed to indicate something much more serious. For me, the prescription side-effects were equally awful. 200 Mgms of OTC MAGNESIUM each night has changed my life!! Haha.. really though, it makes all the difference! Ask your doctor, read about it, etc. ;) ATB
Im 16, a regular netball player, healthy as far as we know, with no medical conditions. This year for the first time I woke up in the middle of the night with a stomach cramp and felt like i needed to go to the bathroom, I stood up and nearly fell over because my vision was almost gone, I was so dizzy, I had a ringing so loud in my ears, i wasnt sure if it was in my ears or real, i couldnt walk in a straight line and my head was spinning. Since this was the first time it had happened I didnt know what it was and i was very scared. I made it to the bathroom, and sat myself on the toilet. I had diarrhoea, sat there for a few minutes absolutely dripping in a cold sweat, before trying to make my way back to my bed and walking into every wall possible and my head spinning so much i was nearly falling over. The second time something like this had happened to me was at netball training after doing hard sprints and pushing myself to my aerobic limits. i found that after going to the toilet i felt a lot better.
The third time was today, I did some running, I ran maybe 400m at moderate intensity then did 200m of short sprints, and then ran about 200m at a jog and had to stop because i felt so weak, then my stomach began to hurt, i was cold but i was hot at the same time, i had goosebumps an my head started to feel dizzy, so i made my way home, which was approximately 100-200m, stopping every 20 because the cramps in my stomach were that bad i wanted to cry, so i crouched down into a ball, which gave minor relief. Once i made it home, i went straight to the toilet and sat, then i began to feel dizzy, i got a cold sweat all over me, i hurt so so much i think i was crying a little too, and then the diarrhoea began. I noticed a pattern between the last two, being straight after intense exercise and within a week before my period starts, not sure if this has anything to do with it, but i noticed the similarities.
Because I'm 16, my mum doesn't seem to believe my symptoms are real and just says "you'll be okay" and assumes im exaggerating, but when i say the pain in my stomach is bad, i mean its bad, and Im so dizzy to the point i need to hold the walls just t sit down without tipping over. I would really love it if someone could tell me what it actually is thats happening to me, since my symptoms seem to be a regular occurrence throughout many people.
