Stomach cramps - what can it be!

Posted , 4 users are following.

As the title says i have been having stomach cramps on and off for years but nothing major, usually constipation. However over the last few months i have been having really painful cramps in the middle to upper stomach i then have nausea and sweats. I have been to the GP who did blood tests and an ultra sound scan, all of which were fine. I have been made to feel like its all in my head by my GP - she even said when I spoke to her on the phone that she needed to go as she had some very sick people she needed to ring

My poo goes from suddenly needing to go badly (out of nowhere) then an explosion, to then having constipation for a few days then the same thing happening again. throughout all of this i still get the excruciating stomach cramps.

please can anyone advise

    any other symptoms? any foods causing this? have you noticed any problems with food, i am pointing to either bread or milk. the doctor's will not do much if you don't try to make some sort of symptom diary first. they will fob you off. if you leave it it will get worse. as for your doctor RUDE! you ARE sick - otherwise why would you phone? ask for another opinion.... oh and see the manager if you get nowhere. good luck, poor you!
