    Default What's wrong with my tummy? ( TMI)

    For 2 weeks almost, my tummy has sharp crampy pains right around the belly button area and I have uncontrollable diarrhea, like almost don't make it to the bathroom in time. I feel perfectly fine otherwise.TMI warning ahead: There was some stuff in the toilet today with the diarrhea, white floaty stuff almost looked like pus or something?

    I was supposed to work tongiht i'm leaving in only 3 days but I'm afriad to work cause if I'm on one end of the club there's a very good chance i wont make it to the bathrooms on the other end. Espicially if it hits in the middle of a dance.

    But the strange part is aside from the sharp pains in my belly, i feel perfectly fine. I seem to be farting a bit more lately, but I dont feel tired or sick, although I have had less of an appitite lately. I just have't felt hungry very much.

    On an odd side note...my dog also has diarrhea now... sympathy pains? lol

    I have had the same symptoms many times during travels to tropical countries and it was parasites/ jeharida (sp?) I don't know if thats what you have I have never gotten this while living in really sanitary conditions except you can get symptoms like that if you swim in water where beavers live apherently. But yeah... anyway that sucks to work with. Stay on the B.A.R.T diet= bread apple sauce white rice and tea, basically nothing fiberous, sugary, fatty/oily, nothing hard to digest or that digests really quickly because that will just aggrevate diarrhea, and if it doesn't stop, go see a doctor.

    well, I did just get done with clinical rotation for school working in a nursing home. God knows what kind of bacteria lives in those places. You just can't wash your hands enough when you realize everywhere germs can live. My hands started to crack from washing so much, even using lotion all the time didn't help...

    Oh not good. Get to the doc right away. White diarrhea is a sign of a bacterial infection.
    Or sounds alot like this:

    hahahahaha.

    I would get to the doctor. I recently got really bad cramps and the shits from a questionable mexican food place. Soooo painful! I can't imagine having them for 2 weeks.

    don't forget to be drinking TONS of water!

    o goodness a nursing home? my friend got some crazy parasite from working in an IUC unite it lasted for like a year because it was really rare and she kept going to the doctor and they would run tests and be like 'theres nothing wrong with you' but she was still sick... anyway not to scare you but there are lots of more germs in question at a nursing home then in regular life Im sure you know and these symptoms caused by a ton of different things. Also remeber to really keep up your fluid intake, even if you don't feel anything else bad besides the cramps and such, the dehydration will get to you eventually if you don't drink alot of liquids.

    Sounds like you eliminated a bunch of mucus. I'm guessing you never cut out the gluten (or at least the wheat) and dairy?

    Oh my gosh I've had this, is it certain foods? I hope there's nothing wrong with me... Does wheat and dairy cause this? I never eat at questionable restaurants... Oh, now I'm all paranoid.

    ^^^ Mucus is an inflammatory response that's usually from eating foods that aren't right for your body. Generally. I'm sure there are more extreme cases but this is what it sounds like to me. Inflammatory response is a predecessor of disease if it is prolonged. Chronic inflammation = health problems down the line if nothing is changed.
