I am not sure what i can eat to help get back my self back to where i was before I caught some kind of bacteria in my large colon boy was i sick for almost a week before i went to the er plus dehydration. I am having nausea now need some help on how to get back on my feet i am 51 years old can anyone help.

Okay so I completed 10 days of the diet and today was my first day in which to ease out of the lemonade routine. I drank orange juice as told in the guide and embarrassingly enough, experienced some discomfort and slight diarrhea throughout the entire day. Later in the day I decided to eat some beans since they are liquidy and then proceeded to take a nap. When I woke up I had the worst nausea ever and just thinking about food made me want to vomit. I’m trying to make the nausea and bowel discomfort go away but I don’t know what to do. Is this a normal occurrence when coming off of the diet?
I don’t understand though because others in my family did the diet as well and ate a few solid foods as they were easing out and didn’t experience any discomfort. They were also pretty liquidy beans so I wouldn’t consider them a completely solid food.

There is no doubt that fasting is beneficial, as I’ve tried it myself. But does the body actually "purge" itself of toxins as we have been told? Are they flushed out of tissues and dumped into the bloodstream? Where do they go? What percentages are excreted from the skin? The bowel? The lungs? The sinuses? Is it even measurable? Are there examples of blood chemistry before, during and after a long fast? Is the blood full of stress-related chemicals before the fast? Does the blood become "dirty" with toxins and perhaps microbes/parasites/pathogens during the cleansing stage (when we experience the headaches, chills, fever, nausea, etc)? Does the blood become "clean" again after the fast has ended? Most importantly, where has this all been proven? Everyone has an opinion, but I’m interested in knowing where I can find the FACTS.
Definitions of fasts:
Dry Fasting: No food, no liquid. Very challenging and requires close supervision. Obviously not for extended periods, but a powerful type of fast (supposedly).

Water Fasting: No food, only purified water. Also very challenging. Produces hard and fast cleansing but also causes very intense side effects. For more experienced fasters.

Juice fasting: Pure fresh fruit juices and purified water. Provides nutrients in a pre-digested format, yet allows digestive system to rest and heal. High-energy fast that does not require faster to conserve energy (quite the opposite…you take stairs two at a time!). Side effects are mild.

I’ll trust personal experience over inexperienced "professional opinion" any day. As I said, EVERYONE has an opinion…even doctors. I’m just interested in what has been proven. No conclusions necessary. Just raw data.

I’ve missed my period for the 2nd time this year when I have usually been regular. I’m 30, never had children and am not pregnant now. I have bloating, some cramping, and nausea..just like the last x this happened. I did finally get my period again (on my wedding day) now it’s missing again. I’m worried. My gyno can’t find anything wrong even after ultrasounds other than the common ovary cysts. I’m really afraid I have something wrong with me where I can never have children. Has anybody got any info for me? Thanks.

think all I have is some bad gas…but I just want to be sure. I have never experienced this kind of pain and pressure before. It started last night. I started to feel like I needed to go #2…I was watching a movie so I put it off. then I started feeling worse very quickly. My lower stomach was cramping…like in my uterus area. I had a lot of lower back pain with rectal pressure. So I went to the bathroom and did go #2, but the pain just got worse as I went. The pressure started to turn into sharp pains. I stayed on the toilet thinking I still needed to go…but I didn’t. Eventually I gave up and stumbled to my couch. The pain was really bad. I couldn’t do anything but lay on my couch and squirm. I was sweating and feeling nausea and light headed. I finally felt ok enough that I didn’t think I’d pass out and I got up and took 2 Tylenol. Then I collapsed back on my couch for about 4 hours. It hurt all night long but not as bad as it was. I am still having lower stomach and back pain and rectal pressure. And the pain intensifies when I go to the bathroom. There is no blood or anything like that.

Is that just gas or something worse?

Thanks

I have recently been diagnosed with IBS. My doctor thinks this is why I get nauseated easily, especially when I’m under stress. But someone (a nurse) told me she had IBS for 40 years, and never experienced nausea with it. On IBS websites, it only mentions diarrhea and constipation, and pain, not nausea. What is the truth?

I’ve had quite extensive testing –everything short of a colonoscopy– to try to diagnose the cause of persistent abdominal pain that started just under my right ribcage and radiating toward my back.

Sometimes there’s nausea and pain is more diffuse throughout my abdomen. I’ve had an ultrasound, abdominal CT scan, an upper endoscopy, blood tests, fecal blood tests, and a HIDA scan for the gallbladder. All normal.

At my wit’s end. I’m wondering if it’s something like Colon cancer or inflammatory bowel disease, which I understand from my research requires a colonoscopy to accurately diagnoses. Yet when I bring this point up to my doctor and to my gastroenterologist, they feel the test is unnecessary given the CT scan and other tests already done.

Who is right?

K, this is getting annoying and i cant find anything that matches my symptoms.
right now my ribs on the left are feeling a constant, relatively sharp pain.

Here’s how it went, Me and a friend we’re talking over skype about emotionally painful topic.
Eventually i began to feel a pain in my left side, followed by dizziness, a tight chest, and nausea.
Standing up made it much worse. Well i woke up the next morning feeling fine, but then a few pains came back but not very bad at all just annoying. This was about three days ago.
I have had an incredibly small fever nothing to even worry about…but ive been sweating and feeling hot. So here’s where im at now, pain in my left ribs, abdominal pain, dizzyness, tight chest, slight slight fever, a tingling body, and now i even am having a bit of rectal bleeding.

as stated before, the pains arent very intense, but are always a bother and can be enough to make me wince at times.

very detailed description, and very confusing for me, im assuming theres nothing to worry about but im having the weirdest symptoms, nothing seems to match.

like it’s really sharp and feels like it shoots all the way up there…it lasts for a few seconds then goes away. lol when I get them my eyes bulge out cuz of the sudden pain…is this common, or something serious, like should I be worried about it? I am 14, female, NEVER "did anything". lol so I know how some of you joke about "that stuff"…and I know probably none of you are doctors, but maybe some of you are.
I was in at the doctors this past week because I was having diarrhea and nausea and stuff like once or twice every week, she said I might have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). but these pains have gone on for many years, and I don’t get them a lot.

hmmm…maybe I should become a doctor…I ask so many health questions on here…
no, it’s not from my job…I don’t have a job…lol…I mentioned earlier that I was 14. I go to school

Can someone explain to me irritable bowel im familiar with it. will it cause nausea? like an aching burning stabbing felling in your stomach. Not like gas cramps?
lol i meant im not familiar with it

Can Irritable bowel syndrome or spastic colon cause loss of appetite and nausea? I have both and my colon is very sensitive any physiological trauma can trigger any symptoms…
What can i do bout this? Please anyone??

I have been really sick for 4 months lost alot for weight, always have nausea. Also lose of appetite and just fell really sick. Have had all stomach and gallbader test and all came back good. Today I had a colonocosy that showed 1 polyp, and doc said it was not cancerous, but is still testing it. I have heard that a toxic colon can make yoy very ill. I was wondering if a colonocopy would show a toxin colon. Or is there toxins that they cant see that can make yoy ill? I also thougt I could have parsites, but never came up. I am only 19 and right before this all happend I went under alot of stress. I beleive stress had something to do with it, but my problems just keep getting worse.

My mom is 58 years old, she had colon cancer 8 years ago, she was clear for 7 years and in the last year has had a tumor form in her pelvis and spots on her lungs, both biopsied and results showed the same as her colon cancer. Yesterday she was diagnosed by x-ray of having stomache cancer, no biopsy yet to see if it is the same cancer, but assuming it is what is her chances of survival? She has lost 75 pounds in a year, 25 or more in the last 2 weeks while hospitalized. She has needed a blood transfusion, and went into renal failure 2 weeks ago. (she only has one kidney) She cannot eat solid foods, she will vomit, she has no appetite and is nautious all the time even with anti nausea meds. She is in extreme pain some days. The other night they maxed her out on narcotics, couldnt give her anymore without it being unsafe.
also she has had a colostomy bag for the past year because of the pelvic tumor.
so how bad does this sound and what is her treatment options and chances?
