I am too scared to go to school either having my stomache gurgling and having to go to the bathroom a lot. I get very anxious and these problems including bloating, gas, unable to fully pass stools. I have had the problem of not being able to fully pass stools/ or having to go many times in the morning for a year or two it has gotten worse because now i am having difficulty going. It seriously has turned my life upside down.
I also have abdominal pain bloating and gas.

I have really hard pellet like stool, its been like this for 3months.
I have been avoiding my doctor, but I really need to go see him.
I also have the urge to pee all the time? Is this connected to constipation?

Lately when I eat anything greasy, spicy or full of caffeine I end up so sick I have terrible stomach aches accompanied by horrific cramps and vomiting. I am going to obviously avoid foods such as lots of soda, spicy foods and greasy foods but should this be something that I visit the doctor about or is it something that sounds like it can be handled via a diet change?

Thanks!

www.nomorereflux.info Barium Swallow – GERD Diagnosis – A barium swallow is somewhat useful for diagnosing GERD. It shows the radiologist the path of your food as it descends down your esophagus but may not be conclusive. Many doctors will not bother ordering one due to the limited value. A gastroscopy is usually more useful. http

I’ve been abusing laxatives for about 2 weeks. It’s bad for your health so I’ve stopped using them. But now I get BLOATED easily and sometimes it even looks like I’m pregnant! And my weight is increasing too!!! This is extremely frustrating as I used to have a flat tummy. I know it’s part of recovery but how long will it take? Can I get rid of bloating before new year?

I’ve just recovered from anorexia but my body is still in starvation mode. Please please please help me~

For over a month now I’ve had adominal pain. Like if I lay down and push on my stomach, or if i twist to pop my back it hurts bad as well. I’ve also lost about ten pounds and after I eat I feel very sick and my stomach hurts. I’m scared to tell my parents though because I am always telling them when something hurts, and they’re kinda annoyed with hearing it. Do you think this is something serious or just something that will go away?

I have an Honorable discharge
My GERD has since been resolved and i havent been on medicine for over six months.
