Suggest Remedy For Digestive Problems
HI, for the past few years I have been experiencing digestive problems such as feeling hungry and then the urge to eliminate; then after I eliminate, I feel hungry again. If I do not eliminate I feel bloated, pain, nausea, and confused to name a few of the symptoms. I feel pain in my colon area as well as left back side (heaviness...esp. during night time that I can not even turn). Lately I have been diagonised with FOS (full of stool) colon. I am always going to bathroom and have regular bowel movements; however, I do not feel I am fully cleared. I feel my appetite is not the same as before. I feel aches and pain in my body and sometimes feel have heart problem (heart racing), anxiety, and knee pain as well. Oh yes, I get a lot of swelling in my body for no reason as well. I need help please with proper diagnosis and treatment. Thank you!!!

Hello,
I can understand your concern towards your symptoms.
These symptoms are suggestive of indigestion due to irritable bowel syndrome (constipation type).
In this condition, digestion and absorption capacity of small intestine would be reduced due to different causes. This is physiological condition therefore difficult to diagnose on any investigation based on detection of structural abnormality. But it can be confirmed by excluding other conditions on investigations.
Intestinal digestive enzymes supplementation, stool softener or laxatives, anti-spasmodic medication for pain are main treatment for this condition.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any further query, I would be happy to help you.
Have a good day!
