Pain pills can have various side effects, if it is anti-inflammatories you are taking, these can give people gastrointestinal upset and stomach pains, that is why it is best to take these types of medications with meals. If it is more of a narcotic, like Lortab, Vicodon, Darvocet, etc, they can give alot of people drowsiness and when used over longer periods of time, constipation. Make sure to drink these with plenty of water, and do not operate heavy machinery when taking them. Also if you are taking them long term, you may want to add a stool softener that way you do not get constipation from use.

Depends what internal organs you are talking about.  I imagine you are talking about your stomach.  Pain in this area can be caused by constipation, diarrhea, or gas.  If this is a regular problem with you, you should consult your doctor.\n\nSometimes, internal pain can be caused by stress, sexual activity, or disease.\n\nPlease see your doctor.\n\nIf your pain concerns bowel movements, check out the following site.

You are ovulating. The pain should be confined to one side of your abdomen.

My advice to you is to check with a gynae. This might be a cause of early monopause or something is wrong in you abdomen. I had a problem with my abdominen and abnormal periods, period pains that made me to scream. Then I rushed to a GP the maedicine worked for that time and next month back to where I was and even worse. I suspected cervical cancer. I then went to see a Gynaecologist and he did all the scans to see what was wrong. Fortunately it was not what I suspected but some kind of an infection. He gave me some ant-biotics and upto this day I am fine. Good Luck and make sure you do as he/she tells you there might be a cure.

There are no natural remedies for this problem and if it was me I would definitly have it removed. The abdominal pain your husband has been having is more than likely a gallbladder attack.  They will continue to get worse if the gallbladder isn't removed.  I would also go ahead and have it removed because your surgeon would have a better chance at removing the gallbladder using a laproscopic approach rather then the old way (big incision down the abdomen).  When you have your gallbladder removed using the laproscopic approach, your recovery time is much faster, you are in a lot less pain, and you can usually have it done on an outpatient basis (which means it will be cheaper because you won't have a long hospital stay).  It would also be better to remove it now  because he will eventually have to have it removed anyway.  By waiting you also run the risk that it could rupture and then you would really get sick.  As for the bile dripping into the intestines, that is not right at all.  First of all, the gallbladder is a storage space for bile and your intestines (commonly referred to as your colon) is the route your bile travels to leave you body.  Surgeons are very careful not to let bile leak out of the gallbladder while removing it.  If bile is to leak out then they would just irrigate and suction it out and I really don't think it has anything to do with you always feeling hungry.  I would just contact your surgeon and ask him any questions or concerns you are having. Hope this helps you some.

Yes, it is.  I can tell you from personal experience that if this is a side effect that you think is being caused by your pill, you should go off of it immediately.  Everyone is different though, my suggestion would be to find a pill with a different concoction of hormones.  Most pills generally contain a combination of norgestimate/ethinyl estradiol, namely ortho tri-cyclen or ortho tri-cyclen lo, which is what i was originally on.  Those pills work for some women but those of us who have higher estrogen levels get more of the listed possible side effects.  My doctor switched me to yasmin which contains Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol.  Chemically, it seems to agree with me.  The only side effect I have experience so far is an occasianal tummy ache.  I would definitely check with your gyno and find out what they reccomend for your specific needs.

I have IBS and I do a Castor oil cleansing one weekend a month and have much fewer problems for the other three weeks. I start by inserting two bisacodyl suppositories and then drinking four ounces of Castor oil. In about an hour I am having flush bowel movements. I take six dulcolax pills. Be sure to drink at least 8 to 10 ounces of water or more an hour while doing this. This process will make you go until what come out is clear. After doing this eat lightly for a few day and include yogurt to put a good flora in your system. I know many people will disagree with this but it works great for me. People are always afraid of what they have not tried or is not common practice!!!

The cause of abdominal problems can be hard to pinpoint. Sometimes minor and serious abdominal problems start with the same symptoms. Fortunately, most abdominal problems are minor, and home treatment is all that is needed.\n\nMany times the exact cause of abdominal pain is difficult to determine. The severity of your pain, its location, and other symptoms you have may help determine what is causing the pain.\n\n    * Generalized pain occurs in half of the abdomen or more. Generalized pain can occur with many different illnesses and will usually go away without medical treatment. Indigestion and the stomach flu are common problems that can cause generalized abdominal pain. Home treatment may help relieve some of the discomfort. Generalized mild pain or crampy pain that becomes more severe over several hours may be a symptom of a blockage of the intestines (bowel obstruction).\n    * Localized pain is located in one area of the abdomen. Localized pain that comes on suddenly and is getting worse is more likely to be a symptom of a serious problem. The pain of appendicitis may start as generalized pain but often localizes to one area of the abdomen. The pain from gallbladder disease or peptic ulcer disease often starts in one area of the abdomen and remains in the same location. Localized pain that gradually becomes more severe may be a symptom of inflammation of an abdominal organ.\n    * Cramping, which can be very painful, is rarely serious if it is relieved by passing gas or a stool. Many women have cramping pain with their periods. Unless it gets worse, lasts for longer than 24 hours, or localizes, generalized cramping pain is usually not cause for concern. Cramping that starts suddenly with diarrhea or other minor health problems can be quite painful but is usually not serious.\n\nOccasionally, severe pain that develops suddenly may be a symptom of rupture of the stomach or intestines (perforation), torsion of the testicle or ovary, a kidney stone, gallbladder disease, or blood flow problems. The pain caused by appendicitis or gallbladder disease may increase with movement or coughing. Pain that increases with movement or coughing and does not appear to be caused by strained muscles is more likely to be a symptom of a serious problem. A visit to a health professional is usually needed when severe abdominal pain comes on suddenly, or new and different mild pain slowly becomes more severe over several hours or days.\n\nAfter a minor abdominal injury, pain, nausea, or vomiting may occur but usually improves in a few minutes. Pain and other symptoms that continue, increase, or develop following an injury may mean an abdominal organ has been damaged.\n\nMany medications can cause abdominal pain. Some medications also cause side effects, such as constipation, that can make abdominal pain worse.\n\nReview the Emergencies and Check Your Symptoms sections to determine if and when you need to see a health professional.

I have the same problem.  The most probable things is that you have bile stones or are suffering from something else along the same lines.  You should see a GI and be aware that you can have more of those horrid pain attacks that will send you to the ER.  This is a good group on Yahoo to give you more info.  You will also need to modify your diet and cut out caffine, sugars etc.  Check this group out it is a blessing.  ThePancreatitisPlace.  Go to yahoo home page and click groups and look for it.  I think it maybe 3 seperate words or one long one.  Good luck.  Oh and stay away from Vicodin and Morphine they will send you into the worse attacks of your life.

Farting!\nTry charcoal tabs or some of these suggestions below.\n\n \nGas is a normal part of your digestive process. Excessive gas builds up in the stomach or intestines, causing cramps and discomfort and flatulence.\n\nSymptoms\n\nAbdominal bloating and pain, \n\nFlatulence and belching (burping). \n\nIndigestion\n\n\nCauses\nA variety of factors can contribute to excessive gas, including:\n\nSwallowing air whilst eating and drinking, especially if we eat too fast or drink carbonated soft drinks or beer\n\nIncomplete or under-active digestive processes\n\nEating raw foods (especially if this is not something you regularly do)\n\nEating whilst under stress\n\nConsuming too much fat in a meal\n\nIntroducing more high-fibre foods to the diet (this usually settles after the body has time to adapt to the new eating patterns)\n\nEating legumes (e.g. beans and lentils), fermented foods and beverages including vinegar and alcohol, and foods rich in sulphur (e.g. eggs, onion and garlic)\n\nGastrointestinal infection (particularly foul smelling wind, especially if accompanied by diarrhoea or stomach pains, should be investigated by your healthcare professional)\n\nFood allergy (such as lactose intolerance, or coeliac disease, which is an allergy to a protein found in wheat and other grains)\n\n\nNatural Therapies\n\nHerbal products containing Peppermint, Slippery elm, Chamomile, Fennel and Gentian have traditionally been used to support digestion and relieve gas pains\n\nProbiotic supplements containing Acidophilus and Bifidus may be indicated to re-balance disturbed bowel flora, help control associated diarrhoea or constipation and also assist by increasing the body's production of the enzyme lactase which is involved in milk digestion; (note that flatulence may temporarily worsen until bowel flora is balanced - this may take one to two weeks, depending on the duration of the problem)\n\nDigestive enzymes, such as bromelain and papain assist digestion and may help to reduce problems with wind caused by incomplete digestion \n\nImportant Notes\nConsult your health care professional if you have persistent, unexplained bloating for more than three days, severe abdominal pain or flatulence accompanied by sudden diarrhoea or weight loss.\n\nPrevention\nTake the time to chew your meals properly in order to give your stomach time to prepare for the food's arrival by producing digestive juices.\n\nIncrease your fibre intake over a period of several weeks, and avoid legumes, fermented foods and foods rich in sulphur (eggs, garlic, onions).\n\n\nOther food sensitivities may also cause flatulence - possible dietary culprits are best discussed with your health care professional.\n\nCraig - naturopath

I was dignosed with IC over 2 yrs ago.I find that caffeine, acidic foods/drinks, like citrus, tomatoe etc bother me.Alcohol bothered me the most,(Never a big drinker, but every once in a while I would have a couple) I do not drink at all anymore,it is not worth it.One time a few drinks sent me into a 6 week flare.Elmiron has helped me quite a bit.(Some people it causes stomach problem is, but have found if you tke it out of the capsule it doesn't, as it is not the med, but the capsule it is in.)You might want to get a pain mgmt Dr if you do not have one.I take suboxone for pain and it helps, I take Norco and Naproxen for breakthrough pain.I also take Vistaril,Flomax,valium and or muscle relaxers,and pyridium.You need to have your pain "managed" You do not need to suffer.If your uro is not sympathetic to your pain, find another one, I know I had to at first.I also get bladder distentions with DMSO every 3 months that seem to help with the other symptoms, but not so much with pain.There is a website that has info on IC, and a diet for IC. www.ic-network.com
