Q: Diarrhea for over a month?...

I have had diarrhea for over a month, and I mean constant. I haven't a solid stool in a while. I also get a pain in my upper abdomen from time to time and cramping in my stomach and will occasionally wake up nauseas and on a couple occcasions I have vomitted. I can go anywhere from 5-15 times a day. I recently had a son in January and since I developed Acid Reflux after I had him I figured maybe I had developed lactose intolerance. So I cut out anything that might make my stomach act up and it didn't work. Then when I talked to my mother she told me that you can have problems like that from your gall bladder, and problems with your gall bladder can often occur after pregancy. Plus! All the women in my family have had to have their gall bladders removed at one point or another,most of them in their 40's and I am only 21!Then there are things like colon cancer that run in our family. The last couple weeks the diarrhea has been real dark and I have been just barely making it to a bathroom right down the hall from me, I know I have probably put this off for a while but I already have a million medical bills, does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Hello, what really concerns me is the family history and the constant diarreah and vomitting. It could be Irritable Bowel Syndrome but people don't usually experience vomitting with IBS. Since you have a family history with gall bladder and colon cancer I would go see the doctor. I understand that you have other medical bills but you need to stay healthy for your new baby. I hope you get some relief soon!
