Suffering Frequent Stomach Upsets
I am 35 yr male. I get frequent stomach upsets. It all started 7 - 8 years back with gastroenteritis. I had bad stomach upsets with frequent bowel movement and pain in the abdomen . I used to feel very weak after the bowel movement. The frequency and the pain reduced now but I still do have the problem. I also feel lot of gas in the stomach. When I wake up in the morning I feel lumpy in my throat. Please suggest what to do about this. I underwent endoscopy & colposcopy and nothing is found. The pain is felt slightly left to my belly button. At one point I used to have frequent sore throat / sinus infection issues and used lot of antibiotics and Ranitidine/antacid tablets. I have stopped now but I have a feeling that it has impacted my stomach.

stomach upsets in your case is due to IBS,look likes this irritable bowel syndrome usually follows followin after an episode of gastrentrities treated with many broadspectrum antiobiotics &injudicious use of antiobiotics will result in loss of normal flora as well as altration of normal flora takes place.take probiotics for 1month&along with physical exercieses&also try to be relaxed,do not worry as this is triggered by worries. consult gastroentrologist nearby.get tested for food alliergies,eg glutin,lactose intolerence etc

there are many causes for chronic diarrhea and crampy abdomens
yes one of them is irritable bowels
but
infections
inflammatory bowels ( esp crohns which affects the small bowels)
food allergies and sentivity
infections
hormonal issues and stress factors
some medications also
well colonoscopy wont jus be an ideal thing. you might have to undergo few autoimmune disorder investigations, infections and allergies to be ruled out.
even your intestinal flora changes due to allergies and infection be a major cause of diarrhea, lately due to no protocols in india, many such cases are treated as irritable bowels but then the cause is something else like chronic bovine tuberculosis also
even eosinophilic colitis
thanks
