akeisker,

at this moment I can’t recall any specific disease with fatty deposits around the colon. Fatty deposits are normally present in the abdominal cavity to some extent…If dosctor thinks this is not normal, he/she should be able to give some suggestion about eventual disorder. You may call back and ask.

Low carb diet may be very well the cause of constipation and all other symptoms, so, if you ask me, I’d introduce complex carbs (dietary fiber, with sufficient amount of water) back into the diet to see if it helps. If this diet switch does not help, he may ask for stool tests and, if necessary, colonoscopy (elevated white cells may indicate bowel inflammation…).

My fiancee was recently diagnosed after this was revealed in a CT scan. He had lower left quadrant (LLQ) pain, which was exacerbated by a change of diet to high protein low carb, low fat diet. The syptoms, which were worsened with movement occuredfor 4 days prior to his ER visit. He experienced constipation with periodic diarrhea along with gas, bloating and diffuse pain. There was NO nausea or vomiting at anytime and he had a slight elevation of WBC count to 12.0/ The pain has lessened with NSAIDS but he does not like taking them. The ER doc did not give us the name of the disease so that we may get more information online or from other sources. Can you help?

I have suffered with stomach problems on and off for approx 12 years or so. I was diagnosed with ibs. In 2008 I had a really bad flare up where i couldn’t go the toilet and was in agony with the pain. I was took into hospital and they did a scan and an ultrasound and blood tests which all came back clear. Since then I have suffered with stomach pain and loose motions every morning which will fade into the background or bother me all day long.

3 weeks ago another flare up started which included severe stomach pain and foul smelling diahorrea which is yellow in colour. I am suffering with pain in my chest, down my left hand side (abit like a stitch), trapped wind and what feels like really bad period pains (but the are not period pains). I have been to my doctor
who did a urine and blood test (which have come back fine) and told me to go back in 4 weeks after she has had chance to think of something that might help me. I have also noticed my breads are quite swollen and sore I don’t know if this is linked in.

Is there anything you can think of which might be wrong with me? I am very concerned about the “period pain” type pain.

Please help! I’m going on holiday tomorrow and so hope I’m not this I’ll once I’m away!!!!

Harley,

when stool test do not show anything (O&P test can be false negative and does not show bacteria), colonoscopy can reveal diverticles or inflammation or other bowel disorder.

From normal log-like every day to very loose like diarrhea but just once or twice a day. It is like sludge most days, sometimes narrow and small pieces, always loose, light in color. The past two nights I have woken up to quite severe stomach pain. First night both sides, low, like strong menstral cramps (not that time of month though) and sharp pain in my anus, then last night sharp pain on lower right side. Felt like I couldn’t stand up straight when I got out of bed. Have had an O & P test-normal, also Celiac panel-normal. Have lost some wieght (5 lbs.) without trying. Main thing is such strange change in stools. Every morning it is loose and not normal for 10 weeks now. Any idea what might be going on? Thanks very much.

Martin,

there are some food intolerances that can cause bloating and soft stools, like lactose intolerance or fructose malabsorption. A so called low-FODMAP diet can help in both disorders and also in IBS. Avoiding foods rich in lactose (milk), fructose (fruits, soda), sorbitol (diet soda) and some other substances for few days can help. Foods high in soluble fiber, like oatmeal and legumes can also cause a lot of gas. There could be also some food(s) that irritate you from no apparent reason.

I have persistent lower quadrant ache about two inches inside my right hip bone, in the soft tissue.It feels like wind sometimes and as if the colon, where it turns from ascending to transeverse is sore to touch, if pressed quite firmly. I do suffer from a sensitive bowel, which could be IBS and from excessive digestive gas straight after eating. My stools are generally quite soft.
I had a full colonsocopy 4 and a half years ago and an upper endoscopy and everything was clear. I am very concerned that I could have colon cancer but the opinion is that it is very unlikely that it could appear in so short a time, especialy with such symptoms.

Can anyone help, pleae
