Help
I see others talk about flare ups...mine seem weird.
I get an odd feeling/discomfort in my upper belly, right under my breasts...it starts like butterfly feeling...but progresses to pain.
I then feel extreme pressure, go to restroom...can't urinate until I do #2...but takes what seems like forever.
Then after initial #2, I get discomfort with water like diarrhea. I start to feel nausea, and light headed.
And sometimes I will actually throw up.
Then back and forth to bathroom at least 6 times.
Then another type of flare up is just were I can hardly do #2 and it's just a little bit at a time with no pain, just an urgency.
I am in my 50's and this seems to be getting worse. It now has progressed to at least once a week if I'm lucky.
Does any of this sound "normal"? Dr...seems to ignore what is happening. Any suggestions?
Sorry you are going through this. It certainly isn't normal. I'm wondering if maybe taking a probiotic will help? Obviously, something is going on in your gut. How is your diet looking? -Elizabeth (team member)
I'm sorry your doctor has straight up ignored these symptoms! That's not cool, as their opinion and recommendation is the most important! I've personally never heard of the pain and discomfort starting that high up in the torso before, but doesn't mean it's not diagnosable! Have you had any better luck with doctors and specialists since this last update? How have you been feeling as of late? Would love to know! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Know you're not alone in this and we're here for you.
