Very frequent stomach pain... need HELP!! ?!
Question: Very frequent stomach pain... need HELP!! .?
Okay, this could be a really long question, but I'll try to make it short. Here's the bottom line...
1. No insurance, can't afford to go to the dr
2. No gall bladder, taken out after 2nd child 7 years ago.
3. My shomach hurts ALL the time now, no matter what I eat or don't eat.
4. CAN'T have a bowel movement... once a week if I'm lucky.
I've tried a LOT of exercise, diet, fiber... nothing. If I take laxatives they make me feel sick but they do work, at least I can have a bm, but they basically make my belly hurt all day anyway.
So, problem is I've been retaining a TON of weight, and I can't ever have a BM and my stomach hurts all the time... Any ideas as to what I could/should do.?! Thanks. For the record, I eat healthy, stay active physically and don't have any other medical conditions that I know of.Health Question & Answer

Answers:
Drink water. Your system needs water in order to help your body form a BM. Eat roughage. A diet high in fiber (vegetables, fruits and grains) will help you to eliminate more frequently. See if this helps.
Go to Social Services and see if you can sign up for Medicaid. It sounds like you might possibly have a thyroid condition because of your inability to properly process your food and your weight gain. Another possibility is a twist in your bowel. Take a stool softner, not a laxative. You will need to get professional help.Health Question & Answer
