The NATURE is defined as this: just as quickly as the sudden twist happens, it also, just as quickly, UNtwists itself, suddenly. My disadvantages, as I suspect many of you out there also have, was my AGE (attacks started at 15 years old, I am now 40), and the NATURE of the volvulus itself. Volvulus is quite common in elderly people, and almost every time, it can be caught and seen on an X-ray. Because of this, the colon grows longer after each attack, giving itself even more 'rope' for a higher risk of volvulus to happen again the next time. Over the years of events of volvulus (twisting of the intestines) it has stretched areas of the colon and forced it to lose its elasticity.
#FEELING FAINT AFTER BOWEL MOVEMENT SERIES#
Sure enough, all the twisting and turning is right there in black and white on a series of 14 X-rays I took that day. He had the Chief Radiologist at Cedars perform the test, as he was searching for specifics, and was seeking confirmation on his suspicion. He had a suspicion that SIGMOID VOLVULUS was the culprit, and ordered me a test I had never done before: Barium enema test with air of the large intestine and colon. This time, the doctor said, we are going to stop looking in the INSIDE and, instead, start to look on the OUTSIDE of your GI tract. Prior to seeing the GI specialist at Cedars, I had seen *at least* 15 other GI specialists in the past - with no answer other than IBS. I made it a point to see a doctor at Cedars-Sinai and thought if the doctors at Cedars don't know, I will accept this lifelong disability. They look for biological factors that may provide insight as to what's going on, but because there aren't any, they send us home with an IBS diagnosis that leaves us sufferers.nowhere. The reason colonoscopies, camera pills, endoscopies and all the other tests come back clean is because those are all tests that look on the INSIDE of your GI tract. But, I remembered this thread, and thought to come here and share my discoveries. I won't make this long, as I am actually scheduled to go into surgery tomorrow. Sudden urge to go to the bathroom (but can't), sweating, pain - only to end up on the floor, passed out, because my body can not endure or withstand the level of pain I experience in the moment. I've suffered on and off with all the pains associated on this thread. Our issue is not a biological one - it's a MECHANICAL and ANATOMICAL one. Now that I have your attention, do as I did to verify that my cause, is indeed, your cause. It takes a few minutes to subside and once I When I get back to the toilet I have a really violent Diarrhoea episode in pure liquid state. I walk out of the toilet and in about 2 minutes time the stomach cramp and the fainting sensation comes back (I've fainted only once to date from this and was out for about 15-20 minutes).
I think everything is over and I clean up. The sweating stops and the stomach cramp subsides. I try to squeeze it out and only a hard stool comes out. After a minute of sweating I suddenly feel something coming out of my rear end. Within a few seconds I have sweat literally pouring out of me, my clothes are wet as if I ran a marathon or something. This borderline fainting sensation lasts for about another minute before I break out into a sudden sweat all over my body. However after about a minute of sitting there with nothing coming out I suddenly few light headed and am starting to get a dizzy spell like I am about to faint and my breathing weakens. I go to the toilet and try excreting whatever wants to come out. The same sensation one might get when they are about to get Diarrhoea. Sudden abdominal pain which increases in intensity over a short time.
I have experienced on 4 occasions in the last 6 years a rather weird Diarrhoea attack which really is painful and scary.
