Issue getting worse. Advice? Beware, graphic.

 So I'm waiting until Friday to see my doctor to get XRay and figure out what is going on.  They are thinking prolapse.  

I am eating TUMS and GAS X Strips like candy and not having much relief.  It's like my stomach is full of pressure and I'm having reflux at the same time.  I finally just passed out from the misery and woke up to diarrhea big time.  All contents have left the building all at once.  This is the first time for this to happen to me.  I'm not sure WTF is going on to be honest.  It's almost flu like but not.  

Is all this related?  I can't find anything about this, but in the mean time my entire digestive system feels like hot lava (and no, I didn't eat anything weird or hot).

HELP!

I think what happened to you is not unusual. the same thing happened to me once after i collapsed. My body was very dehydrated and i had been blocked for some time.  good luck Friday, i hope you can ease your mind until then.

Gosh, I am really sorry you are going through this. I would suggest you go to all liquids until they get you a sure diagnosis. If you have further problems with passing out you should call them immediately. They can order the tests on and emergency basis, and have you wait right there until they have been called with the results. That way you can be treated right away and not wait the weekend. Even if you don't have further problems you should let them know what has happened.

I will keep you in my prayers. Keep us updated.

Hi Melissa!  I saw Dr. Oliphant about six months ago because I was having horrible heartburn and reflux horribly and could not keep anything down.  They did an EGD and found ulcers.  I did not have diarreah though, but I really couldnt' eat so I don't think I had anything in me to get rid of.  They ended up taking out .2 cc and it was still pretty bad so then they took out 1.5 c****il I heal.  The TUMS didn't help much so they gave me Reglan and Prilosec, the combo really helped, so you may want to ask them for those for relief until you get all figured out!

Hope they figure it out for you soon!!!

Awe honey....giving you lots of hugs and my sympathies.  I know how miserable that is.  I don't remember having bad gas, but when my band slipped I had horrible reflux and nighttime coughing.
