Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 6 ft and weigh 195 lbs 23 years old have been a runner for the past few years. Some days I get through a couple miles and my stomach starts to hurt and I have to stop running or I wont be able to stop from defecating. What is wrong with my gi tract that on some days I can run for however long I want and others I almost immediately start getting stomach pains?
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidate history. You are getting this problem either due to a surgical condition like appendicitis or diverticulitis which gets aggravated sometimes..
Another possible reason is that you may suffering from a condition called irritable bowel syndrome..
IT is always a better idea to get an opinion and clinical examination by a Gastroenterologist, to undergo the investigations as per his orders. I would suggest you to undergo contrast enhanced CT scan done along with ultrasonography and color doppler studies.
