Hi everyone,

it is very early, so I don’t expect replies within minutes. And I am posting in this group to see if it will get more responses than the other group I posted in as time passes by.

I am very worried for my mom who has constant stomach issues. What could one possibly suspect she has especially a doctor?

Her stomach was fine before. Suddenly, when she stopped exercising, started eating processed foods from restaurants and high amounts of sugar, and drank less water, her stomach became swollen. It swelled really huge randomly out of nowhere one day. She couldn’t pass stools nor flatulence. A day or so later, she was able to pass flatulence in small amounts then larger amounts as days went by and was able to poop again. She noticed a pain near her back, left side high up. maybe kidney? It was constant pain whenever she went to the bathroom. She noticed her urine was cloudy. She thought she had an uti infection, so she took UTI medicine, antibiotics, and it worked for her. She did light exercises. We prayed constantly for her to get better. Then, she was able to defecate and have flatulence. Her stomach went almost back to normal but is still swollen. She has never felt like that before. Now today as we speak, she was starving. It was after midnight. She didn’t eat much. She ate food from the fridge that we saved from a day or so ago, and then right now felt extreme pain that made her have diarrhea. She said she felt that her insides were twisting. However, she was able to do what she had to do. She feels a little bit better, but it’s just not so fine. What could this be?

Thanks!

I forgot to mention her doctor (when she wasn’t sick like this) told her she has fibroids. He suspected them and checked and they were small cysts somewhere in her uterus or uterine tube.
