- Can an attack of IBS cause chills? Or chills coming before an attack?
- Can anyone tell me what a spastic colon feels like? I suffer occasionally with diverticulitis and now I am having what feels like sometimes a strong spasm on my left side of my abdomen. I am feeling fine but it feels like a big bubble going...
- My brother is a diabetic and has end stage kidney failure. He wants to have knee surgery. The doctors are not discouraging this. Has anyone had knee surgery with these conditions? I don't think his health is good enough.
- No matter how much fiber I eat during the day it is not enough to avoid constipation. I was on Metamucil for so long and it did help sometimes but other times it seemed to cause constipation, not to mention discomfort and bloating. I have seen a...
- I had minor knee surgery and boy did just that make me so constipated. Didn't even take the pain pills because I knew it would make it worse. But I did take Advil which I usually have no trouble with. So I have been taking Miralax for 3 days now...
- Does anyone know the differences between IBS and a mild case of diverticulitis? You would think I would know this by now. I have symptoms of both and don't know if I should be concerned or not. No fever though, or I would be at the doctors.
- How can you tell the difference between IBS and diverticulitis? I know when I have diverticulitis for sure and the pain is real bad, but now I have cramping and nausea. I don't think I have a fever and there is no real pain. Just some cramping...
- I know you can have a low backache with diverticulitis. Can that be the only symptom? I have had a terrible backache all week, however it's been an extremely stressful week with my daughter having surgery. I have actually had backaches that I...
- I'm writing for my daughter who is 42 years old. She didn't have a period for approximately 6 months and then began having spotting and bleeding for a few weeks. She went to the doctor and she gave her Medroxyprogesterone. This is suppose to...
- I was just wondering if anyone regularly uses stool softeners. Sometimes I think that feels better than just adding more fiber (bloating from Metamucil etc.) to an already fiberful diet. I was wondering if there was any harm in it.
- I eat fruit and a high fiber cereal for breakfast, plus juice with added fiber. So I get about 15 grams in the morning. Then I get some fiber at lunch and some in the evening. All that to reach my goal of 25 grams of fiber. Around 2 in the...
- I went to a surgeon for a consultation. She said she can not guarantee me good results because she is questioning if my episodes are diverticulitis. The reason she is questioning it is because my pain is never localized on my lower left side. ...
- Where do you feel your pain or discomfort? I have always felt the pain all over the abdomen area and not in one place in particular. My pouches are all on the lower left and I have wondered why I don't feel much pain in that area.
- I went to my gastro today because of having continual diarrhea since having my attack and being that I am 4 days off of the meds. She now has me scheduled for a surgery consultation. She said if I have had 3 attacks in a 14 month period than I...
- Hi, I am new here. I had been having hot flashes for the last 8 years. When they began I had as many as 100 a day. I was pretty miserable. I never went on HRT because my sister was on it and got breast cancer and was immediately told to toss the...
