What Could Recurring Stomach Pain With On And Off Loose Stools Indicate?
It was a matter of four days apparently. I was having normal stool. 2nd day it was pale yellow in bits. 3rd day it was dark in bits with white foam (i had pain). 4th day it was constipation. At 5th night i had a severe cramp on upper left side abdomen. The pain went from lower middle of chest to the left side beneath the ribs. I felt sweaty and had chills. It was scary pain which prevailed all night until it subsided around 4am. I took herbal teas and all sorts of stuff to reduce cramps as i thought they are gastric, but no use. I havent had severe constipation ever. But i do get loose stool every now n then. is above something serious?

Thanks for contacting HCM with you health care concerns
From your description it sounds like you have irritable bowel disease. This is very common and not dangerous. I would recommend though that you see your doctor to rung the appropriate GI tests to be sure it is only IBS.
I hope I answered your question. Please return to HCM with your health care concerns or questions
