Anyone help with a health problem?

I am seeing a specialist gastroenterologist soon, but I am really worried about some quite severe abdominal pains I am having. I am 27 years old. It started November last year, with a bad case of gastroenteritis, possibly food poisoning. While this was really acute, and involved sickness and diarrhoea it went after a few days, although I still had a slight ache in the illium area of the abdomen. It stayed with me at a low level until just before christmas, when I had severe abdominal pain. At no point during this time was I sick, and my stool was very solid. I went to a doctor who identified an abdominal mass, and sent me for an immediate ultrasound. The ultrasound picked up inflammation of the intestinal wall in the Illium area, and slight fatty deposits in my liver. Blood tests identified elevated ESR and CRP indicating inflammation.The pain had been at a low level since that time, until this week, when it has been severe, in the lower right & centre abdomen. Stool solid. Help!!

I have oral allergy syndrome- allergic to uncooked apples, cherries, hazel nuts and almonds, but I don't eat them. To my knowledge I have no other food allergies. I am trying to keep track of foods which might have flared this, but no pattern yet.

It sounds like you may need just need to have your gallbladder removed. There are several possible causes for the symptoms you're experiencing that would need to be ruled out. These would include gall stones and cancer.

I'm not a physician, but these people are:

In the meantime, try to maintain a low-fat diet and don't stress your immune system by worrying about all the things it *might* be. If you find yourself in a lot of pain, call the clinic and have your appointment moved up and/or ask to speak with someone.

Did your doc mention IBS at all? Have you had a colonoscopy yet?There easy by the way. The worst thing about it is the prep for the exam. A barium enema or air-contrast barium enema might be in your future as well.

All your tests and results are not going to help you much please contact a homeopath and he could give you a better medicine that would cure your problem faster and safe without any surgery / side effects.

In my opinion you might be suffering from either Appendicitis or Tuberculous Colitis. First take some bulk purgative to soften your stool. Some times acute constipation gives symptom like yours.

Maybe you have the appendicitis or the abscess.It's treated with antibiotics.If doesn't help you have to think of surgery.Good luck.

I suffer from IBS, abdominal pain and changes in my stool, and swelling around the stomach, are my main problems, this may be whats causing the pain, it might be worth mentioning it to your doctor. I have colonic irragations to cleanse the colon and help maintain a healthy bowel this cost between 拢50 - 拢80 I also had a food allery test at Holland and Barrets which cost around 拢60, and I found out my problem foods are Sugar, yeast and Dairy combined with stress this brings on stomach pains for me.
Also try milk thistle, very good for the liver, can also be purchased at stores like holland and barretts, drink lots of water, cut back on salty and fatty food, and red meat as it puts strain on the liver, I hope you find this info helpful
