Abdominal and gastric pain.

[Alex D.]

I have almost constant abdominal and gastric difficulties.  Tests rullled out gastroprsis and scope tests from both ends were normal.  My neurologist perscribed Amatiza, which helps with the bowel movements but the pain is still there.  A one point it was a 9-10, it comes and goes, but is always there.  Anyone else in the same boat.

Did they run the breath test? It tests for overgrowth of gut bacteria which is also regulated by the autonomic nervous system? It is a long shot, but a possibility. I had it, took some antibiotics to kill off the bad stuff, then went on a specific kind of probiotic my gastro likes and things got better for me.

I hope you find the answer. I remember those days and I know how much it impacts daily living.

Good luck.

I may not be in the same boat as you, I have a dx of gastroparesis and slow intestinal motility, I hear you on the pain. sorry you have to go through this with no answers... I remember how it was before I got a dx. I hope you find something that helps soon!

Hey Alex, I have had the abdominal pain from time to time, typically I would wake up with strong pains in the middle of the night. For me it seemed to be caused by eating gluten but I might only get the pains one out of every ten times. I was diagnosed with IBS after both my scopes were normal other than delayed gastric emptying with my stomach. I have been on the FODMAP diet and find that it helps with any bloating feelings, which for me I believe causes that pain.
