Don’t open photos unless you want to see poop. First three pictures are from today. Fourth picture is from yesterday. A little history: I began showing weird symptoms about three weeks ago. After a night out of drinking and downtown (I usually only drink once every 6 months or so), I slept okay. The night after this downtown night, I woke up about 15+ times with shortness of breath and very burpy/gassy, and felt a sort of heaviness in my sinus. I also had a pulsing headache that stemmed from the back bottom right of my head to my upper teeth/jaw. I thought I was having a heart attack, but I n ..read more

Seeing my GI next week but I am wondering if anyone has experienced the same: The occasional epigastric pain, bloating and 24/7 nausea. I have only vomited a couple of times but that “feeling” of impending vomit in my throat is relentless. 24/7. Thought maybe GERD but even sleeping sitting up doesn’t help. Antacid doesn’t help. Ginger tea doesn’t help. Gallbladder issue ruled out. I’m at a loss and feel miserable. There is not a minute of the day where I don’t feel like I’m going to throw up any second (but it never happens). Anyone? submitted by /u/MaddyWaddy2024 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Greetings. Thank you for reading my post. I'm a 49 year old male. I've been working out pretty much my entire life, since I was an early teenager. A few years ago I started doing more intense exercise, including working with a punching bag. My problem is: when I exercise, my GI tract becomes inflamed. It starts with inhibiting my bowel movements. Poops are small and liquidy. If I persist further with the exercise, my stomach, right on up to my throat, becomes inflamed. Has anyone seen this before? Are there any medications I can try? Or is this just part of getting older and there's nothing I ..read more

Is it normal for some people to have soft/sometimes liquid stools each morning? I don’t have any other symptoms, no stomach pain or bloating. I go at the same time every morning. Is this just normal for some? submitted by /u/Which-Week3085 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi all! Big TMI here. For the past two days, I’ve been passing a mixture of blood, diarrhea, and bloody diarrhea. It is extremely painful and my gut is very sore from going back and forth to the bathroom. For the most part the blood is lightly colored and looks like clots. I’ve made a doctor appointment with a PCP, but they are booked out until May 28th (about a month and a half out). Is there any advice, medication, etc. that could possibly help? I tried Kaopectate, and it seemed to briefly help. I know that if I go to urgent care, they might run bloodwork and refer me elsewhere, same with E ..read more

I created a reddit account just for this post LMAO. I got diagnosed with IBs at seventeen due to severe abdominal cramping (I'm currently 20F). At the time of my diagnosis, my doctor didn't want to do a colonoscopy or endoscopy, but he did check me for blood work, and it all came back negative. At 20, I am still having the same symptoms (abdominal cramping, diarrhoea, unable to control my bowel movements, you name it I have it). Recently I got a gastroenterologist and she did a calprotectin test to check for IBD, because I've also been having mild fevers and severe joint pain for the last 6 m ..read more
