Symptoms Of Colon Problems

This is not for self diagnositc purposes...if you have a problem you need to be seen by a Physician and EXAMINED. If you are having similar symptoms I suggest you see a physician sooner rather than later.

Ulcerative colitis: Typically there is bloody diarrhea. Usually there's no pain, but sometines there is. Patients often complain of fatigue, which is usually related to inflammation and anemia (loss of blood in diarrhea).

Crohn's disease: Patients complain of abdominal pain and diarrhea. Pain seems to be common, especially if there is some degree of obstruction. Although the pain can be almost anywhere within the abdominal cavity, the most common locations are the lower abdomen and right lower quadrant. Like Ulcerative Colitis, patients complain of fatigue.

Many times patients have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome before being diagnosed with IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease, ie. Crohns and Ulcerative Colitis).

my husband is having issues. he has had hemmroid problems before. he has never been like he was today, lots of pain in his lower back, stomach, and rectum. he refuses to go to the doctor. hardheaded.

He has to go to a doctor and have it checked up. At any rate he should not keep quite as CANCER IS STILL ENIGMA and it is required to be confirmed for taking further action, if needed. Please ask him not to neglect the matter.

Colon cancer is cancer of the large intestine (colon), the lower part of your digestive system. Rectal cancer is cancer of the last several inches of the colon. Together, they're often referred to as colorectal cancers.

Signs and symptoms of colon cancer include:

-A change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool for more than a couple of weeks
-Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool
-Persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain
-A feeling that your bowel doesn't empty completely
-Weakness or fatigue
-Unexplained weight loss

Many people with colon cancer experience no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. When symptoms appear, they'll likely vary, depending on the cancer's size and location in your large intestine. -

Im scheduled for a colonoscopy and upper endoscopy in the next few weeks. Im 22 male a little over weight 5'8 200 lbs...... I have stomach problems my colon spazes out time to time and I can feel it pulsating and the pain sometimes shifts to the opposite side. Stomtimes when I move I can feel my stomach move to like water inside just shifting as I shift. I also think I am refluxing sometimes I feel like I am going to throw up but I don't and I get a bad taste in my mouth. Its weird because when I push on my colon I can a pop rocks sensation up my esphogus like their correlated. I've had diaerria for like 10 months straight and I went to gastroentologist and he scheduled the colonoscopy and endoscopy and gave me medicine to calm these symptoms down. MY QUESTION IS... is there a chance if I just take colon cleanse pills and do it for the day that all my problems could be cured and I could negate those procedures?
I have to get my colon cleansed the day before the procedures Aug 15th... I really want to try an alternative before this. Any recommendations on what to buy to cleanse? Also will this cause a problem if I clense my colon 3 weeks before the procedure where I'll have to cleanse again the day before the procedure? The pain feels like air or gas is trapped and is often relieved then I pass gas so I feel like somethings blocking something. I do not want something probing my butt unless its absolutley necasary. I am aware I can get xrays but I mainly I want to know if a colon cleanse has the potential to cure these symptoms without the help of a endoscopy or colonoscopy.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!

Ebay for Pepzin GI. Its awesome stuff. Also look out for either homozon or Colosan.

I get Sharp stomach pains at the top & in the lower part of my stomach. My stomach swells up. This started about 2 weeks. Right around the time I quit smoking. I read online that the symptoms could be a colon problem. Does anyone know?

I am not really sure. I think you should go to the doctor of course. But I think that you have water weight. Usually when you are bloated you get these kind of symptoms. I know that pain can be severe. Try taking water pills and you will be alright. I know that worries you. I think it's great that you stopped smoking. Keep up the good work. I don't think it is your colon. Take care.
