Just a thought but it could be caused by stress in your life.

wow i have no idea they tell us its in our heads it the doctores dont want to deal with , what kinda of test have they ran , how old where you when it started . do you have reasons to be stressed hugs minnie

Its not in my head the pain stated when i was 5 years old and over the years has gotten worse. I have a lot of stress in my life right now. I had a baby 4 weeks ago I am not been feeling well since the birth of my daughter.

Yes it may have a lot to do with it I am very stressed out right now.

Stress can certainly make an existing condition worse. Have you seen a gastro doctor? I'm assuming you've had all the usual tests?

That's a long time to go with undiagnosed pain. There are many things that could be causing it...IBS, chrons disease, etc. What part of the stomach is it...upper or lower.

I think I'd have to go at this point to see a doctor maybe at a teaching hospital nearby. They'd be more on the cutting edge of what's going on.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I pray you find out the answer. Keep us posted, ok?

Take care....ELizabeth

Hi, tabby, and welcome to our forum.

The part about having your baby four weeks ago and having stomach pain concerns me. I would encourage you to talk to your OB if you haven't already tomorrow.

I had a lot of pain and diarrhea when I was your age. I had a colonoscopy and had two polyps removed, one was a villous adenoma which is very precancerous. I also would urge you to see a gastroenterologist and discuss your symptoms. It could be as simple as iBS, which while annoying, should not keep you from having a full life. Have you been worked up for ulcers?

You have got to get you well so that you can properly care for your baby. I am only throwing the above suggestions out for thought. I am not medically qualified or licensed to give advice. I am only trying to give you suggestions based on my own experience.

Take care, hon, and please keep us updated on how you feel.

Big hugs.

I had a lot of problems with delivery My stoach pain is really bad I went to the or last night and they said everything look fine They did an ultrasound and said that the pain is called afterbirth pains. But its been 4 weeks since her birth That pain should be gone.

Ever been tested for Celiac?

You sound exactly like I always felt before I knew to stop eating gluten.

That is a tuff one when they do not have a DX and you had all the test. What I would do is make out a list of what test you have had and put it up and see if anyone can see something or a test that you might of missed that might be the cause.

The stomach is so complex and it could be a hundred things I would guess. When is the pain at it's worse? Is is after you eat or is it after you eat certain foods Is it at night or during the day? ETC.....

heres is a list of test that they have done on me

1 ultrasounds

2 blood test.

3 allergy test.
Is there any other test they should try

How about one of those colonoscopy I would think that would show alot and get a Gastro doctor I think having one of those who specialize he will be able to figure it out in no time. Have you already seen one of these?

No I had not been to one of those doctors I wonder if that would help . The pain got worse after my daughter was born

where on tummy? do you have painful periods, painful sex? if so read up about endometriosis.

Hi,

And welcome to our group. I am so sorry that you are dealing with this pain and have been so long. But you have found a group of kindred souls here. We all share the common thread of pain, and though our illnesses differ together we form a beautiful quilt of support and compassion.

You have already recieved lots of great information and advice. From my own health history I would advise you to check out Endometriosis. This can be done with an Ultrasound and an MRI. The Ultrasound was most helpful in my case. The technician used a vaginal probe and was able to finally get the pictures needed for my diagnosis. This problem can cause the pain you are describing.

I hope that you find the sourse of your pain soon. We will be here for you. And I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs, Cathy

Hi and welcome. I am so sorry that you have such horrid pain. There are so many conditions that are not the "first to come to mind" for many physicians. Also, I find that the younger you are, the more the doc may pass over your symptoms because "people your age don't have XX disease/syndrome".

Keep fighting and advocating for yourself, there are reasons why you are having your issues.

In support
