my tummy aches!!!!!!

[unhappy]

can anyone relate to feeling fine one day, then all of a sudden, you are having tummy aches that have you running back and forth to the bathroom throughout the day and night. it seems like as soon as you finish using the bathroom, your stomache starts cramping again, and you are back. it causes you to start loosing weight. you go to the emergency room and get medicine for diarrhea. this doesn't help much, but it's a start. this lasts about a week, you go to the doctor, a stool sample is done, all clear, the doctor tells you to use immodium for a couple of days. the immodium helps slow the bathroom visits, but there is still that crampy feeling that is soothed more by massaging than anything else. it is now a couple of weeks later, still crampy, eating only adds to the cramps. stools are more like jello than running water. has anyone experienced this. what can help soothe it. am i this stressed but not admitting to it. can stress cause stomache problems like this. my doctor also just put me on weekly prozac today, because i hadn't been really taking my zoloft. can i be throwing my system off by doing this as well. please respond.

I suffer from IBS and that is what happens to me when I am under alot of stress or if I eat something my body is sensitive to. I get cramps so bad they make me break out in a sweat!!! Have you had any tests done or ever thought of IBS?

number one dont take the drugs. its a bunch of crap. they hurt more than help. make sure you are taking fiber a few teaspoons every morning and in the evening. they help w/ the runniness. i took the pills and they screwed me up. and they are really tough to get off of. Change your thoughts, make sure you walk at least 30 min. a day. let me know what you think. it worked for me. Matty

I have been having stomach problems off and on now for over a year. I can be going along really well then boom I have to do number 2 like 4 times in one day.

They are not liquid or anything but loose. I also get stomach cramps and feel like i want to throw up.

From here I start to feel like I am losing my breathe. I usually use my peek flo meter to see if If can breathe good. usually my breathing is just fine.

Perhaps the stomach issues are what is scaring me into a mild panic attack or something.

Cause after I go threw this stomach issue I feel fine for like a week or two. Then boom all over again.

I have had a test to see if I have a stomock ulcer. I have also had a test last week to see if I had some odd throat sack ( thats what the dr called it.)

Sometimes I have problems diegesting food right. It depends on the type of food. For example resturaunt fried protatos, and resturaunt salads I end up throwing up. However If I make a salad at home or bake potatos at home I am fine.

The dr did a test on my thyroid, and cholesterol, as well as heart, and even a bavarioan swallow once before.

If they are still finding nothing wrong is this related to panic? Is my brain telling me something is wrong and then the symptoms create themselves? Just curious.

Hello< I just started my series. I don't have tummy aches but my left arm and leg will get heavy and feel numb along with my neck feeling weak. I then seem to get dizzy. The cause of my anxiety is aging parents and a poor marriage. In addition I am exhausted due to insomnia and being a married single parent. I am trying to get strong enought to get my self confidence up to do what I need to do. I have tried multiple prescriptions and I did not like the way they made me feel. Effexor was horrible all the way around. Paxil, Lexapro all increased my weight. I currently trying Buspar 15mg bid. Any support I may get will be welcome.
