Question : I've had some stomach discomfort for the last few days. First it started with a flutter sort of flashing pain ( bearable ) which was recurring at particular intervals. (right bottom adbomen) Then that completely stopped. and i had bloating, discomfort, and loose stools. and the discomfort reduces after the stools. That went by too. Now i just have bloating and the flashing discomfort (maybe thrice in a day) but this time towards my left middle adbomen. Stools is ok now. Ive increased thirst. I feel hunger but it not very hungry like before.

Seems Collitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in

It seems you have had a bad collitis which has gone chronic

Avoid junk and contaminated meals and liquids

Take a good probiotic twice a day for a minimum of 2 weeks

It this does not work get a stool report done and start antibiotics accordingly

Hope this helps

Sometimes, the discomfort is ok when i go to bed. And if i happen to get up in thr night to use the restroom, after the loo, discomfort starts again. Another case,during the day, no discomfort, lets say my bladder is full and i didn't get a chsnce to relieve myself for a while, and after i do, i get the same discomfort. Do these two also look like collitis problrms? Ive noticed these two issues too.

Discomfort after loo could be due to collitis and/or IBS.
For the bladder symptoms you need to observe for other urinary symptoms like burning; frequency; urgency etc or get a urine report done.
