Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Cramps, Bloating And Backaches

Hello Doc On the 9th of this month while at work i noticed some stretchy clear mucus while in the bathroom, thn later that day i had intercourse. Also had intercourse 2 consecutive days after ovulation. The problem started on the 12th, 3 days after ovulation when at work coz i started experiencing abdominal cramps, exhaustion, felt bloated passing gas and burping, and a backache. Then a week after ovulation my cramps and backache subsided bt now my heart is pumping lyk crazy especially at night when i lie down, im 2days late and find pleasure eating atchar which i disliked because of da oil. Did a dettol test since my periods are late and the dettol didnt mix wit urine and was oily. Im scared of testing coz i dont wna b disappointed. My son is 11 years old. Please help coz i want anada child bt have been disappointed before with lots of negative tests. Thank you

Hi,

A certain degree of bloating is normal but in case of excessive bloating, it may be a sign of food allergy, hiatal hernia, IBS or inflammatory bowel diseases.

So you should do gastroenterologic work up but first, try to change your dietary habits, it means: eat smaller meals but more frequently, avoid fried and spicy food, take mint tea, avoid alcohol and coffee, eat probiotics and milk products, boiled food and vegetables.

Also, there are medications such as Flobian, Magnesium oxide or certain Laxatives which may relieve such symptoms of this continue. If there is no improvement on these measures, you should consider doing diagnostic tests such as colonoscopy, anal sphincter manometry and food allergy testing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
