Q: ongoing stomachache and loose stool

I was shot years ago and it tore my stomach up; blew my galbladder to pieces, in and out of my kidney and my stomach a few times. Few weeks ago I woke up and basically stayed in the bathroom all day long. I am in Iraq right now and thought I got some bad water. It went away for about a week...and now its on and off...stool isnt plain water anymore...but I go in the morning, right after lunch, before dinner and after dinner. Sometimes right after a solid movement I will have a loose one. Someone told me it could be stress, I just got a nice promotion and will going into Baghdad pretty soon. This started before the new job...my first thought was my stomach came loose or the stiching came undone. It seems like I have stomach aches before I eat...if I eat they go right away with no problem. I am 23, a bit overweight...and once again...in Iraq...could it be just bad water for this long....no one else on the whole camp has this at all.

ongoing stomach problems
This is for JayinGreenZone (Iraq),

Jay I believe you are suffering from a parasite found in the water called,
Giardia. I had it and contracted it in Italy after having ice with my cokes at restaurants. You need to get to a Doctor and you may have to submit stool samples for evaluation. I had to and it came back positive in all three tests for Giardia. Then I was prescribed Metronidazole (Flagyl) for a week to rid it.
I sure hope this gets to you and it's whats causing your problems.
Good luck !
