What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain Along With Constipation And Loss Of Appetite?

Hi my partner has been suffering with stomach problems for the past 18 months which have become more severe in the last 6 months. He suffers from severe abdominal pain which doubles him over and causes him to miss time off work as well as constipation and a loss of appetite. He also gets a lot of blood when he passes stools, the blood isn t mixed in with the stool it is by itself on the toilet paper and is more often than not pure bright red. He has been seeing his GP about this who have tried to give him tablets to reduce the pain but they haven t worked at all, he s tried about 6 different tablets Iver the last year as well as sachets for constipation relief which haven t been great either. At first they thought it was IBS so we adjusted his diet but this made no impact at all so they then thought it would be IBD. It s a very slow frustrating process as he is in a lot of pain daily and is losing out on a lot of money due to the time taken off work.

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you. first of all it is sad to hear that time and money are getting wasted and the pain hasn't come down. since you mentioned about blood in the stools then I request you to get your body checked by internal medicine specialist. getting the abdominal scan done will be of great help to come close to a diagnosis and proper action taken for treatment. Also please see if you can meet a gastroenterologist as he will be able to figure out the issue.

pain killer mentioned by the GP of you will be symptomatic and will work symptomatically until the bodys metabolism and immune system works in coordination to fight against the illness.

kindly do some small general regular exercises as it will boost the metabolism, immune system and give an active energy.

also deep breathing exercises will help to strengthen the bodys cellular mechanism as the oxygen is the energy source. for pain in the abdomen you can achieve strength by doing abdominal breathing exercises and strengthen all the quadrants of the abdomen.

also to understand here is that it's the bodys immune system which fight against anything and boosting the immune system needs an extra pressure from your mind.

if the Gastroenterologist find anything wrong the medicine will be prescribed which will be obviously symptomatic but still it will give a big help for your overall progress.

with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery
