How come everytime I eat, my stomach hurts?
No matter what I eat my stomach hurts immediatly...the best way to describe it is like a really full feeling {even when I don't eat much} and I feel like I have to go to the bathroom, and I usually do....
what could this be?
Actually I have been cutting out dairy almost completely b/c I was thinking that could be it, but it hasn't seemed to help any :-(
My dr. says it's just IBS, I personally think he doesn't want to deal with it, b/c I have no insurance...

Your symptoms do sound like IBS, which isn't something to ignore, it can be very debilatating. If you have a mixture of constipation followed by diahrea and cramping after eating, those are classic IBS symptoms. Much of IBS can be stress related, anxiety issues, your body failing to digest and use foods properly. Try cutting back on greasy/oily foods, take Pepcid or another product that holds acid levels down, and see if you improve. IBS can be frustrating, but many live full lives. If you had ulcers, you would have a much more direct type of pain, same with other more serious digestive problems, like Chrohns, or Diverticulitis, these are very painful and serious conditions that must be controlled by diet and medication. Nuts and products made from nuts are difficult for the body to digest, possibly eliminate these from your diet.

IBS isn't actually a disease, it's a collection of symptoms. Some people have some of the symptoms, while other people have other symptoms. Doctors aren't even sure what causes it, though stress is high on the list of maybes.
It sounds to me like IBS. Your symptoms are very similar to mine, but I usually have excess salivation and vomiting in addition to having diarrhea and stomach pain.
It doesn't matter what foods I do or don't eat; at different times I've cut out dairy, caffeine, red meat, raw vegetables and fruit, and fatty foods. Altering my diet doesn't change anything.
Many days I can't even leave the house, and I don't bother getting dressed, because I just take one shower after another.
The drug that works best for me is called Librax. The main ingredient slows down the action of the colon and eases cramping.
If you feel like your doctor doesn't want to help you, you should find one who will. I got lucky - my GP has IBS.
Good luck to you.

You may have hyper acidity or stomach ulcer. The stomach generates hydrochloric acid for digestion purposes and it sometimes irritates the bowels by eating into the inner layers of the stomach. Then you could get pain, burning sensation etc.
Hyper acidity can lead to stomach ulcers. it could generate gas problems.Do not take
spicy foods, oil, butter etc and take lots of water, antacid and ranitidyne pills. Better you consult a doctor.

If it's a burning sensation then it could be an ulcer.
But if it doesn't feel like that, then I'd have to agree with the first poster who suggested lactose intolerance.
You can actually have been a kid who devoured dairy products, and still become lactose intolerant later in life.

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

Elimination of Fluoride can cure IBS
http://fluoridealert.org/?s=IBS
Water, Food and Dentifrices are the main sources of Fluoride Toxicity.
Drink purified water. Take quick showers. Never bathe until they quit fluoridation.
Use Xylitol toothpaste

Check the Fluoride content of your foods

Are you lactose intolerant?
Maybe you're eating things with milk products in them, and its upsetting your stomach. Try for a week without eating any milk products, or foods that contain them, and then see how you feel.
