twinkles asked:


Many different doctors have told me over the past 8 years that I have a spastic colon. There are ulcers in stomach as well. I have had so many tests done, I go to the gym every day and eat a balanced, special diet but I’m still bloated every day and wake up every morning with a stomach ache. I do stress allot but go to yoga classes. This problem is almost poisoning my system and I get burning pains in my muscles. I’m desperate! Does anyone know if something else could cause such symptoms? Maybe I’m trying to fix a related condition and not the real problem!

????? asked:


I wanna start up again but a doctor told me not to…

Is it possible I already had a weak colon?

Everytime I hit this key it prints one way and then another. Is it the keyboard or me? It never shows up the same way.

HELP!!!!!!! I HAVE BEEN DIAGONOSED WITH SPASTIC COLON SINCE 2003. I HAVE THESE ATTACKS THAT INCLUDE SEVERE STOMACH CRAMPS THAT I SOMETIMES PASS OUT FROM, DIARRHEA (5-7 DAYS A WEEK), SHORTNESS OF BREATH, RAPID HEARTBEAT, PROFUSE SWEATING WHERE I AM DRENCHED HEAD TO TOE, FEELING HOT, DIZZY, THEN CHILLED TO THE BONE WHERE BY BODY TEMP DROPS TO ABOUT 94 OR 92, MY STOMACH TO THE TOUCH TURNS ICE COLD. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE SPASTIC COLON TO ANYONE? DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THESE SYMPTOMS? I HAD MY GALLBLADDER REMOVED IN 03 WHEN THIS ALL STARTED, AS I WAS TOLD THAT WAS WHAT WAS CAUSING MY SYMPTOMS AT THE TIME. WRONG!!! EVERYTHING HAS GOTTEN WORST. I’VE HAD 5 COLONOSCOPIES SINCE 03, NO CANCER BUT A POLOP. 2 ENDOSCOPIES THE LAST ONE SHOWED DIALATED BLOOD VESSELS. MY STOMACH IS SO SENSITIVE I CAN NOT TAKE PAIN KILLERS OR 98% OF MEDS BECAUSE MY STOMACH WILL BLEED AND HURT AS IF IT’S BEING RIPPED APART. I SUFFER EVERYDAY IN PAIN. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? I AM AT THE END OF MY ROPE…:-(
I have tried over 30 different prescription’s with no help or relief. The last was belladonna which i could not function with.

If you have both — let me know you you handle it through the years.

Wonderboy asked:


Reason for asking is my parents think I have a mild case of IBS. I will go spans of 3 days before I have a movement> When that day comes its an awful day. I am weak and tired, in the bathroom non stop, and I feel awful. No appetite at all during that day. The following day all is fine. I have not been able to pin point what causes my IBS to act up either. For example I went out to eat today and it didn’t sit well. But wheN I eat at this place in past, no problems. That is always a fear of mine when I go out to eat, “Will my IBS act up?” It makes it hard to enjoy eating out. Is this common for IBS sufferers? IF that is what I have

I have had a spastic colon for more than 8 years. I know what to eat and what not to even touch. My situation was controlled for some time but two months ago I woke up with a burning pain in and around my shoulder - almost inside my cartilage. I took blood tests for rheumatoid arthritis and the amount of acids in my system. Both were higher than normal but not really a danger. I am taking anti-inflammatory tablets but the pains have spread to my muscles. I am eating a balanced diet suggested by a dietician. I also exercise 5 days a week for an hour at a time but I am still gaining weight. I gained almost 15kg in 9 months. I am always bloated and suffer of heavy constipation, dizziness and fatigue. What is going on with me? Who should I see next? I have been to so many doctors and they keep on telling me it is my spastic colon! Could it be my thyroid? Please, any advice.

Phia R asked:


I suffer from spastic colon problems and am currently having quite a nasty bout. Just wondering if it’ll do any harm to take my daily 500mg Vitamin C - I know too much V C can cause indigestion issues, but will this make the problem worse?

Jennifer W asked:


If you know anything about irritable (sp?) / spastic colon please help me.
I have had spastic colon nearly all my life. This is the first time it’s bothered me this badly. I took two Hyomax SL 0.125 MG a few minutes ago and just took a pain pill.
About an hour ago we were at a restaurant and it started. I knew I didn’t feel like eating today, so I didn’t much. But the spasms won’t stop. It was constipation first, followed by acute diarrhea. Now it’s just liquid. The pain and spasms won’t quit. PLEASE tell me what to do. We have a lousy hospital ER. If we go they’ll make us sit forever. They’re very slow.
Is there something I can do to make it stop? I don’t know how much longer I can take this! This is the WORST it’s ever been. (Could it be a stomach bug making the colon spasm worse? My 11 year old daughter had diarrhea at the same time, in another bathroom.) ANY advice will be worth it. Any ideas how to make it a little better?
(If it’s too late this time, do you have advice for future events?)
A doctor diagnosed me at 14. I’m almost 44 now. I’m inclined to think this might be a bug.
Thanks about the water. Hyomax does give cotton mouth to begin with!
I did what you said; took some nausea meds, which are making me sleepy but also took away the nausea (thank goodness!).
I appreciate the advice. I’ll *try* to go lie down now. Husband is willing to take me somewhere if it doesn’t stop soon, but otherwise I’ll call my doctor in morning. Thanks again!
