hi so i am new to this but just looking for some advice or if anybody else has experienced anything similar. so this may be quite long so sorry In advance. So around 8 months ago I started randomly being sick, like almost everyday, not just when I woke up but random times through the day when I ate and even when I didn’t eat, this went on for around 3 months then along with the sickness came constipation I got to the point I couldn’t go Toliet at all without taking stuff to help me open my bowels, I was then going constant pains in my stomach with radiated to my back really strong so bad that I would take like 4 baths a day to try and ease the pain so In November I went to the walk in a&e and had scans, blood tests ect, everything was okay, they discharged me with constipation.... I’ve been multiple times and rang my doctor ( iv never seen my doctor up to yet, just a call over the phone) my own GP prescribed me stuff for constipation, i did explain I already take these things and nothings helping even when I wasn’t constipated I was still getting the awful pains. About 4 months ago I took an accidental overdose because I took so many pain killers throughout the day and night because the pain was SO bad, went to the hospital again still nothing blood tests still show everything was okay, this has affected my everyday life I have two small children I am constantly in pain some days are better than other but once it gets bad it gets real bad. So a month ago I went to see a acupuncture therapist who said I have a blockage in my bowels and stomach, I see her once a week and have acupuncture done and take herbal tablets and drinks, the constipation has gone I can now go the Toliet on my own, the sickness has gone, but these awful pains in my stomach my back and around my sides are still here, they are not getting better and I’m really just drained has if it was just a blockage surely now there isn’t a blockage because I go the Toliet and am no longer sick, I’m feeling really worried has to by I am still getting these horrible pains if anybody has had anything similar or any ideas of what this could be please let me know thank you

    hi. well it sounds like you have some issue with tour gastrointestinal tract; it could be gastritis, h pylori bacteria or even parasite. you need to be seem by your doctor or a gastro specialist for some additional testing. it could also be crohn's disease. you may need an endoscopy and a colonoscopy to get some answers and treatment..

    Hi Jade,

    What did you mean by sick? Were you throwing up?

    I have for the last maybe 6months been constipated out of the blue. Ended up in E R after not going for 5 days and they did blood tests and gave me laxatives which made me go .and also did an internal and they said was ok. I have pain inside.

    Since then have done more blood tests and another internal which the dr said I was inflamed and gave me suppositories. But I still have pain internally and get cramps before going to the bathroom and im still constipated.

    I will be having a colonoscopy in a few weeks...which I am really afraid of.

    I was nauseas but that has gone.

    I also got checked for parasites and h.pylori which was negative. I don't know what it is.

    Hope you are feeling better now.
