Gut Pain/Back Pain



Recommended Posts

This is a little embarrassing but here goes....I have been doing two Protein Shakes a day for the past two weeks. I put one scoop of Unjury unflavored Protein Powder, 8 oz. Hood Calorie Countdown Fat Free Milk Beverage, and 1 scoop No Sugar Added Nesquick Powder....what a mouthful. For the past three days I have had very loose stools, which has been okay because from the moment I became overweight I have had a problem with Constipation. But, Last night I started having the most incredible gut pain....When I would go to the restroom, it would hurt just to sit down, almost like in the pelvic bones. Today I have had incredible back pain. I dont know if its because of the Protein Shake I have added or something else.

I remember a couple of years ago, having to go to the ER for similar pain, and had a cat scan of my abdomen and it was decided I had a lot of stool to get rid of. Also, I had a colonoscopy a couple of years ago and it didnt show anything. Could it be a gut problem, a gas problem, the shakes, or something more serious.

The pain seems to be radiating from my pelvic bone all the way to my side and back.

Anyone else had a similar problem?

Hey White06 how are you doing? Did you find out about the pain. Gallbladder pain comes and goes depending on the fatty or gassy foods I would eat. I had mine taken out several years go.

I went to the doctor and he thinks Im just constipated. He just didnt get excited at all. If I have a fecal impaction, how do I fix it? After reading the research it sounds like I am a total text book case.

Let me know what you think??????????

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
