Hi, Doctor please give some time to assist me I need help : I caught food poisioning 6 months ago I was given antibiotics by a local doctor for 5 days. The 5th day my stomach was swollen as 7 months pregnant women. I was shocked and went back to a gasto specialist. I did Endoscopy, Colonoscopy blood tests Sonography and all possible things like stool and urine tests etc. Was put under course of medicine for a month My doctor said its not IBS its just that my stomach is too weak and will slowly recover. I do meditation I workout 1 hour a day I don't drink and smoke at all and am pure vegetarian... But often my stomach pains if I don't walk after dinner and if I eat a lot or heavy food my bowl full day feels like passing stool. My stools are once a day but are semisolid I am always gastric often have to leave meetings and excuse to go toilet. I avoid heavy food now and am on diet like rice and yogurt even egg white does not suit me Milk is way too far I have banana and guava and apple and sometimes bread with light butter But because of exercise my body is toningup well but am losing weight.
If I eat good pizza I can't digest I have to rush toilet All I do is monitor what suits the best for me. But still I am losing weight in six months I have come down from 84kgs to 74 kgs now and my height is 5.10"
Please advice me a diet which is easy to digest and I should not loose more weight. I don't have eny other problems.

Sounds like you may have crohn's disease.
Try eating papaya or papaya enzyme pills and yogart after you eat.
Since you took antibiotics you should now take probotics to replace necessary bacteria that the antibiotics took out with the bad bacteria.

I looked up some sites that might help you
Intestinal Flora (http://tuberose.com/Intestinal_Flora.html)

Flora Protect Probiotics 8 Strains of Probiotic Bacteria, High-Potency, Freeze-Dried, 8 Billion/Serving (http://www.drnatura.com/flora_protect.php)

All these things are good for any stomach ailment. I get nausea and no other problems and I take them. Although the flora and probiotics should not be taken regularly.


Crohn's disease

Common symptoms of Crohn's disease include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss. Less common symptoms include poor appetite, fever, night sweats, rectal pain, and rectal bleeding. The symptoms of Crohn's disease are dependent on the location, the extent, and the severity of the inflammation. The different subtypes of Crohn's disease and their symptoms are:

1. Crohn's colitis is inflammation that is confined to the colon. Abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea are the common symptoms. Anal fistulae and peri–rectal abscesses also can occur.

2. Crohn's enteritis refers to inflammation confined to the small intestine (the first part, called the jejunum or the second part, called the ileum). Involvement of the ileum alone is referred to as Crohn's ileitis. Abdominal pain and diarrhea are the common symptoms. Obstruction of the small intestine also can occur.

3. Crohn's terminal ileitis is inflammation that affects only the very end of the small intestine (terminal ileum), the part of the small intestine closest to the colon. Abdominal pain and diarrhea are the common symptoms. Small intestinal obstruction also can occur.

4. Crohn's entero–colitis and ileo–colitis are terms to describe inflammation that involve both the small intestine and the colon. Bloody diarrhea and abdominal pain are the common symptoms. Small intestinal obstruction also can occur.

Crohn's terminal ileitis and ileo–colitis are the most common types of Crohn's disease. (Ulcerative colitis frequently involves only the rectum or rectum and sigmoid colon at the distal end of the colon. These are called ulcerative proctitis and procto–sigmoiditis, respectively.)

Up to one third of patients with Crohn's disease may have one or more of the following conditions involving the anal area:

1. Swelling of the tissue of the anal sphincter, the muscle at the end of the colon that controls defecation.

2. Development of ulcers and fissures (long ulcers) within the anal sphincter. These ulcers and fissures can cause bleeding and pain with defecation.

3. Development of anal fistulae (abnormal tunnels) between the anus or rectum and the skin surrounding the anus). Mucous and pus may drain from the openings of the fistulae on the skin.

4. Development of peri–rectal abscesses (collections of pus in the anal and rectal area). Peri–rectal abscesses can cause fever, pain and tenderness around the anus.
