sweating , feeling bloated , abdominal pains , nausea
Posted: 06-28-07 07:01am

Hi, I'm 27 and I have been having these symptoms for a good few months now although in the last few weeks they have got progressively worse.

After I have something to eat I have dffering symptoms, anything form having a hot flush, sweating, feeling bloated, abdominal pains, nausea, being physically sick, (this has come on in the last few weeks) prickly sensation to the skin- mainly face sometimes hands, coughing, feeling weak/dizzy/faint.

I also have bad wind which is very uncomfortable, sometimes crippling and is only eased by going to the toilet.

I have also found that if I skip ameal or leave more than 3-4 hours roughly between meals, i feel sweaty, shaky and extremely lightheaded, when I eat somehting after this, instantly feel better but then in the hour following I get all the symptoms mentionned above- sweating, feeling bloated, abdominal pains, nausea, being physically sick, (this has come on in the last few weeks) prickly sensation to the skin- mainly face sometimes hands, coughing, feeling weak/dizzy/faint etc.

I orginally went to my GP when symptoms first started and had a blood test for Thyroid problems and Diabetes, of which both came back fine.

I mentionned a possible food intolerance to my GP who dismissed it saying I don't have that, but unconvinced I tried to make a note of what I have eaten and what symptom it provides. The only correlation I can find is that when I take milk into my body I start to cough and feel like there is something like mucas in my throat/ on my chest, I sometimes cough so bad I feel I'm going to vomit but the more I cough the worse it seems to become. I also found a problem with popcorn, immediately after eating some I developped an uncomfortable stomach, with bad wind and my stomach bloats out so much I could pass as a few months pregnant. The abdominal pains feel like severe stabbing pains.

I presented this to my GP who bascially said that I have IBS, now as I understand it there are no tests to confirm IBS and it's something that is diagnosed after everything has been ruled out. I might have IBS who knows but I haven't been tested for anything else apart from what I've mentionned already, so I felt under the impression my GP just wanted a quick easy diagnosis.

I mentionned how I feel shaky and trembling between meals and how I feel flushed, aweaty and sick after eating and asked for some more tests to be done, but she was convinced it is IBS, even the vomitting which is happening more and more, IBS...

I'm not disputing that I may have IBS, after all she is the Doctor, but I feel t's more than that. When I originally went to the Doctors it took a few good visits for them to actually test me, the first Doctor I went to, said I had "chronic fatigue" I'm never unusually tired! and my current one said it was a normal reaction after you've been eating (???) It was only after constant visits and moanning I got taken seriously. Well, this doesn't feel normal to me! I can't tolerate alcohol at all one glass is enough to make me fel sick! I've never been much of a drinker anyway so I go out and drink soft drinks now, but after just a few pints of coke during the night, I came home and I couldn't stop vomitting.

I am getting to the point now where I feel like I'm never going to know what is wrong, I feel so neurotic about food, all I seem ot be eating at the moment is fruit, veg, fish and scrambled egg- no milk- and water as I am so scared of being sick or being ill. I was eating porridge oats and banana for breakfast but started feeling queasy after eating this too so just eat fruit. I have lost quite alot of weight and I do feel weak all the time but the weak feeling is better than the other symptoms. I just have no energy.

I am taking some peppermint tea capsules before eating, as recommended by GP for the IBS she is convinced I have, but they're not doing anyhting, I feel no better. Just wondering if there is anyone who has had similiar symptoms or knows what I am talking about.

Thanks for listening, I realise it was a long post but I had to put everything down.

Hihi I actually suffered from the same symptoms months ago except that I don't vomit. Except I do feel nausea on and off. I thought it was some gastric or ibs problem until my condition has worsened and I kept passing gas uncontrollably...in the sense I don't even know it but smell something.

This led me to suspect it might be some bacterial infection..and I learn about yeast infection. It's like bacteria in my stomach tt keeps multiplying! I'm not sure if your condition. Coz your symptoms sound very much like mine in the early stage.After eating I feel better but 3-4 hrs later, I immediately feel weak,dizzy and wanna faint and so so tired everyday!
Yes sweaty palms 2. The bloating and stomach pains could be distension or probably gastric ulcers or something more...really depends.

I strongly encourage you to refer to a gastrointestional specialist to diagnose your condition. Or probably change one.=)
Many doctors gave me passing remarks. so yup! Hope I've helped.=)

Instead of taking 3 meals at a go per day, try cutting down into smaller meals and eat only the amount you can and feel like eating at the moment.Once u feel like u've hit the max, stop eating.=)

btw if you still feel very bloated, cut a few slices of ginger and boil with water at 100 degree celsius. After a little cooling, drink it without any add-ons at a comfortable warm temperature. The "spicier" or more slices you use, the more effective it is to reduce the "wind" in your stomach.
Try NOT to take antaacids pills or syrup as they might trigger "uncontrollable gas" in the long term effect.

As for the sharp pain, it is caused by large amounts of 'wind or gas" produced in your stomach and it can shift. Reducing the gas constantly will help u to feel more comfortable and not so painful.

Reduce carbohydrate and sugary foods as they cause gas production,hence making u feel more bloated.

You can try to google for topics on:
irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel syndrome,yeast connection,gas,intestinal gas

Take care!

With love,
Ying.

Perhaps you should seek out a naturopath who can steer you to a healthy outcome. Personally I needed to change my diet and I also incorporated a cleansing program 'colonix' by DrNatura. It got me on the right track and with the change in eating habits I cleared a lot of medical symptoms similar to yours. Make sure you check out every avenue and make an informed decision that is right for you. You will be the happier for it. Good luck and let us know what you are doing and how it is helping you.

Stomach Pain/movement
Posted: 08-02-07 11:26am

I have the same symptoms as you.The only difference is that I have pain that is so severe sometimes that i cant stand.Also I seem to be unable to pass gas.The strangest thing about my symptoms is that I feel movement in my stomach that you can also see from the outside.It really don't hurt itself it feel like a baby kicking or sometimes it happens for such a period of time its like a baby having hikups when your pregnant.I not pregnant and cant get pregnant, i have had a hystarectamy.I cant seem to get any answers on what this can be other than trapped gas,but the pain is so severe that it causes migrains ans sweats and most of the time i cannot walk.

well i wish you all the luck and hope you feel better soon and if you find something that works share the news.
