Ok so I think that I may have an ulcer,
but my hospital at home can not do the
tests needed to see if I have one or not,
so they just ruled out cancer with some
tests. I have constant stomach pain that
worsens when I eat, followed by massive
bloating. I could eat an apple or a potato
chip and my stomach will swell up like I
just a cow. I used to be bulimic, but
haven't been since the middle to end of
May. I feel this may be a partial cause. I
was also anorexic before that for about 6
months straight. I have also recently
noticed that my stool is really
inconsistent. At times I have "rabbit
poop" with little pellets and other times
I have real loose stool. When it is
pellets it is usually a dark color and
when it is loose its really pale,
sometimes green and sometimes like a gray
color. I have also noticed a lot of
vaginal discharge during and after a bowel
movement. I am sexually active so I do not
know if that matters or not... I am also
an 18 year old college student. I play
softball as well...so this is not a very
convenient thing. I am on
medicine...currently Ranitidine. I have to
wait 3 weeks before I can come home and
see a doctor so I would love to have some
feed back on what is going on with my
body! Thanks

I had most of those symptoms for a while.
Turned out my intestines were all filled
witgh stool and I needed an enema to get
things going. It sucked but the awful pain
every single day was much worse.

I had your symptoms and it turned out to
be an intestinal obstruction. I also had
constipation problems. Eating anything
bloated my stomach and caused enormous
pain. I even started throwing up dark
brown (bile?) vomit. It was so afwul I
finally went to the emergency room. I
threw up there and it was dark green.
Seems if you vomit and it is those two
colors, you have a problem. I was put in
hospital and couldn't eat OR drink for 5
days while they waited to see if it would
"unkink" by itself. Luckily, it did or it
would have required surgery. I would
aggree with prior post on my problem being
what I would term "impacted" but with a
different result. But if you are 18, you
are hopefully too young to be having this
problem.

you sound exactly like me! I was anorexic
for a couple years & have been in
recovery for the last couple years &
was also bulimic most recently. I have
severe pain & bloating in my abdomen
& only have 1 or 2 bms a week or less.
My bms are also always bloody with mucus.
I am pretty certain these problems are all
related to my ED since they first started
after a week of seriously abusing
laxatives after being forced to gain
weight for recovery. it sucks, sometimes i
wish i could go back to when i was
anorexic & didn't have to worry about
my bms since i didn't have any. This
bloating/pain is far worse than any hunger
pains I ever experienced when i wasn't
eating. sorry but it's true. ED has ruined
my life : (
