What Causes Abdominal Pain, Weight Loss, Pressure And Bloating In Stomach?

Hi my name is Cory. For the last 2 weeks I've had alot of pain in my abdomen. I dont have an appetite and ive lost 30 pounds. I've been to the er 4x and our family doctor 3x. All the tests have come back negative. Today ive had terrible pressure and feel bloated in my stomach. When I went to the bathroom my stool was dark dark brown and the toilet paper had small black spots on it. I was wondering what you may think it is cause nobody else is fixing my problem. Thank you

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

The presence of dark brown stools , black spots on paper, bloating and pain in abdomen is suggestive of an infection of the intestinal tract.

I would advise you to get a course of an antibiotic , probiotic,activated charcoal and you may be fine.
If no positive effects take a second opinion of a Gastronterologist so that relevant tests and diagnosis and treatment can be done.

If all the reports are negative / normal I would consider the diagnosis of IBS meaning Irritable Bowel Syndrome and treat you accordingly.

I find this answer helpful
