In the last six months I ve been had bouts of running to the toillet sometime 2 or 3 times within 10 minutes . at time i havent known whether to stand up or sit down .I d sometimes go for weeks ok and inbetween I d be constipated. most of my life my bowels have been full up. the last couple of months ive had pain in my back around my bra line like a burning, today its got worse and i went to the toilet the usual blended consistancy and terrible smell i also have a burning pain in my chest under my ribs which is staying in the background all the time.
I went to the dr and had blood tests and stool sample done every thing was ok. I take other meds for other conditions espec methotrexate for arthritis but I take omipresole to protect my gut.
I try to eat a low fat diet but love chocs etc . Drs seem so slow to help if you can get an appoitment that is .I felt really ill this morning with low back pain smelly stools and feeling sick. What the hell is it. thank you marg

burning pain in your back is a classic sign of gallstones
Hi Marg, have you ever asked the Dr to order a blood test for Celiac Disease? You have some of the classic symptoms.
