[mindyandy420]

Sorry guys....I dont mean to be a BIG PAIN in the A** but I have posted some questions.

Painful stomache aches right before BM....the needing to go right then and there. I thought this was normal?

After reading....I guess its not.

Painful like lava is exiting your body? Yeah, that's normal. Painful due to constipation, normal too, with Celiac or an intolerance

If your discomfort is higher in the abdomen, like toward stomach area instead of lower intestine, you might consider Small Bowel Bacterial overgrowth as a possible problem for you. I often get sickly stomach and then it goes away when I move my bowels. On the other hand, my bowels movements are typically constipated and overly firm, whereas you may have the opposite issue.

I've also noticed that certain sugars or pectin or insoluble fiber (not sure - apples and pears are the trigger) give me intestinal cramps while moving my bowels and before. When I cut those out, the cramps went away.

It's tough because our small intestine is where so many necessary things for digestion are released into the system. Since we are messed up there, until we heal, all our digestive processes suffer.

Good luck.

No, that's not a "normal" sensation. That's the type of feeling I get due to lactose intolerance. Other foods trigger it too...I suspect I may also have an issue with fructose.

I have had this my whole life. Sometimes it goes away for awhile. Always comes back. At least 2 a month.

Colitis maybe? Isnt Colitis almost the same as Celiac? Or do they go hand and hand?

Most of that pain went away when I went on the gluten-free diet. The rest is now gone because I started a very low carb doet. Seems like some of the alternate flours do it to me. I tolerate corn about the best.

I did have a month period where I was afraid to go on doggie walks and the like for fear I'd have to suddenly and painfully go poop. I had all these tests done that came out negative. I think it was adding acidoph/probiotics OR time that finally fixed it - hard to say if it was coincidence or not on the probiotics. But I"m be sure I'm on a good probiotic - watch for gluten free and dairy free if you can manage it, and yeast free. THey can be expensive, but even going on it for one month will get your flora back in line.

Good luck.
