A 24-year-old white woman arrived at the emergency room complaining of sharp, left-sided abdominal pain over a 24 to 36 hour period. The pain was initially limited to her left abdomen, which gradually spread to the epigastric area and intensified, particularly while taking deep breaths. Other symptoms included nausea and vomiting. Upon palpation, her abdomen was soft with slight tenderness in the left upper quadrant and epigastrium. She had apparently experienced similar discomforts 6 months prior to admission, but the pain resolved itself after 1 to 2 hours. As a result, she had not sought medical assistance.
An abdominal CT scan was performed 4 hours following admission to rule out pancreatitis and a chest CT scan at 5 and one-half hours to rule out diaphragmatic rupture. While returning to the ER from her CT scans, the decedent appeared to be hyperventilating with shortness of breath and her abdominal pain began radiating to the midsternal region. Seven minutes later, she became unresponsive, apneic, and pulseless. Death was pronounced approximately 40 minutes later, a little more than 6 hours after admission.
The decedent did not have a significant medical history; she did not smoke or drink alcohol and was not pregnant either before or at the time of her death. Neither she nor her mother could recall any previous traumatic or physically strenuous episode at any point that may have elicited the decedent’s discomforts.
Autopsy was performed approximately 5 hours after pronouncement. The decedent’s external examination did not reveal any discernible injuries or other abnormalities.
Internal examination revealed a 4-cm defect of the left hemidiaphragm with smooth edges through which the omentum, severely dilated and fluid-filled stomach, transverse colon, and a portion of the spleen had herniated into the left chest cavity. There was no excess fluid present in either the pleural, pericardial, or peritoneal cavities. Both lungs were edematous and showed scattered anthracosis; the left lung was collapsed. The liver was also mildly congested with severe hepatomegaly. Toxicology revealed only the presence of caffeine.

A friend has cysts forming on his body that are forming at slightly rapid rate, and I have looked up these cysts could be caused by this disease. He has other problems, and I think it’s something more serious than just random cysts and red lesions. side note: checked for HIV, it was negative.

Are there health issues or under the radar problems with it? I am looking for the best way to cleanse my colon that does not harm my body in any way..

My Grandma had a large cancer removed from her ascending colon about a year ago. Several lymph nodes contained cancer also. She had no evidence that it had spread anywhere else – liver , lungs and bones were scanned before the surgery. The oncologist felt that she was too medically fragile to get chemotherapy because she had 2 strokes right after the surgery. Now the cancer has come back in her abdomen. It is in her liver, but also spread all around the abdomen and is producing a lot of fluid. Is there any hope that she can be cured? If not, how long does she have to live? She is 91.

Who else, besides proctologists, specializes in these areas of the body (males)?

I need help on the "Arsenal Gear-Jejunum" room: one of the rooms where Raiden is naked and the Colonel is saying weird stuff. I need to get out of the room and move on to the next rooms without going to the "Arsenal Gear-Ascending Colon" room because once you get in there, you can’t get out, or there’s probably some crawlspace that I can’t see, but anyway please help.

P.S. If you can, can you also explain why the hell is a Japanese woman on the radar when you spend some time in the "Ascending Colon" room?

P.S.S. Warn me also if there are other rooms similar to my situation after that room

The general rules of evolution and random factors make cancer, miscarriages, and various congenital diseases a simple fact of nature. What do these same things say about a creator being? Some of the idea’s given in here about why we have cells growing out of control (cancer), organs developing in less than sufficient ways (congenital heart disease), and embryo’s developing in ways that do not support life (miscarriage’s) just do not make a bit of sense to me. I simply cannot believe that I have heart disease because some cave man (Adam) messed up. I also cannot accept that my sister lost most of her colon to cancer because an "all loving" creator being caused, or allowed, it to happen. Feel free to explain whatever you believe.

I heard that the average person has anywhere from 5 to 15 pounds of fecal matter build up inside their colon! (YUCK) and that a colon cleansing can get rid of that. Is that true or just junk science?

Also, if a colon cleansing is worth the money, do you have to go to a doctor to get one done or can you buy something at a drug store or health food store and do it yourself?

Thanks for any help and / or advice.

My husband has been checked for Gull Bladder disease, diverticuliits and it isn’t cancer. We have been through CT scans, ultrasounds and stool sample testing. What could it be? I am worried sick, and of course he can’t get into the GI specialist until December.
He is only 32 and otherwise healthy.

I’ve heard it can make you loose some weight and I’m looking for a easy way to loose about 10lbs. I can’t take OTC diet pills because they make me ill and I don’t really over-eat. If anyone has any ideas please help.. THanks

I work with someone who has finally been diagnosed with something…crohn’s. He has always had colon problems & has been through annual colonoscopies….but he doesn’t take very good care of hisself & it tends to put him in the hospital for the night every 5 or 6 months. He is in his mid-20’s. What advice can I share with him?

I saw it on the internet one day by accident.
It is said to have health advantages in preventing hemorrhoids, constipation, colon polyps, appendicitis, ( to name a few )
How come the health providers never told us about this?

I have sml bowel chrons disease and a few days ago had problems going to the bathroom. I went to the er and had inflammation of the large colon. how is this possible i never had this before.

I’m 14 year old male, and I am not obese or anything.
Note that I have minor IBS symptoms but I’m not sure about this one.
When I press on the lower right part of my abdomen (about 3 inches above your right leg) I feel some sort of thing when I push on it and it makes a little vibration in my abdomen, It’s not a lump but it feels like muscle and I think it is my appendix.

Does anyone else get that feeling of when you push down on the right part of the lower abdomen it makes a minor vibration in your stomach, Or is it just me with IBS.
I went to my GP and from my description of symptoms he said it was IBS but I haven’t been tested for it. I think it is the start of the ascending colon as it feels like it.
You have to go right deep as I am pretty skinny to.

I doubt this is colon cancer as I have no family history of it, I don’t smoke or drink, I’m not sure if I have any polyps either.

I also have a very very very minor stomach ache, you barely notice it.
Hope someone tells me what it is,
Jack.
Ok, my stomach doesn’t vibrate. A little vibration occurs of where I pushed.

I hear colon cleansing has very good health benefits. Does anyone have any information?

for the past couple days I’ve been getting sharp stabbing pains near the cecum, I’ve tried searching related topics on google but haven’t found the cause of the pain.

And what books do you recommend for reading to educate myself on the disease itself. All I can find are GF cookbooks. I want to edcuate myself on the disease and how it affect my entire body system. If I eat gluten, how will that affect my other organs, blood system, skin… I have another autoimmune disease, so adding this one on top of it isn’t helping. But my 2 doctors don’t seem concerned & tell me very little. And I feel like crap 24/7. Low energy and weak.
Can anyone advice me on where to go for more education onf the celiac disease so I can help myself? Thanks!

This question may be seem basic but I just wished to double check. In the abdomen, retroperitoneal structures (namely: most of duodenum except for D1; pancreas, ascending, descending & sigmoid colon) are behind not just visceral peritoneum but also stuck down hard against posterior abdominal wall by the parietal layer of peritoneum. Retroperitoneal structures are behind both visceral & parietal layers of peritoneum. Am I right on this?

Thanks

i find the colon cleansing pills don’t help me as much.
Is a colon cleansing tea much better because its hot?
I shouldbe drinking lemon water but i really hate it in water.
Chrones disease runs in my family but i dont think i have it, that would be much more of a hell situation.

I’m open to any suggestions, and hearing your experiences would be good for good feedback, but the idiots who say you shouldnt do a colon cleanse please save it because my body clearly needs this.
Thanks
Thank you.

pls help…

He has finished colonoscopy as well as endoscopy , it says Transverse Colon shows Hepatic flexure? shows polypid growth with surface ulcerations.

VERY skeptical about this. But have had some symptoms.
My biggest thing is what do you eat after-wards. Fiber okay(more detailed exactly what)
No meats(red) okay
What about Lobster,Shrimp, Fish (Tilapiaa)

Raw veggies and fruits -Okay EXACTLY what Veggies and EXACTLY what fruits..
Smartazz out-there , no smartazzs comments or sarcastic comments
PPL please be specific..

Is that attributed to poor diet?
