Severe Stomache pains with no results...
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi everyone, I am a 47 yo female and have had some of the most horrible stabbing nawing pain in and under my left and right rib cage area. Have had 2 hida scans, multiply blood tests, 2 lights ran down my throat, all with nothing except h palori. I got past the h palori, was diagnosed with chrones IBD w/ constipation, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, and numerous other conditions. i have scar tissue on my pancreas with scar tissue lining my small intestines. I am at a weight of 120lbs, i am a smoker, i dont do drugs or drink and was fairly active. My symptoms started when I was pregnant with my 4th child over 20 years ago. Yes, I have been hurting, since then. I take prilosec OTC, Zantac 150, and tylonol with benedryl. Occasionally I take a carafait pill. The pain is always the same and hurts to the point of taking my breath. When I go into my doctor he just looks at me like I am stupid when I tell him, I am hurting again. So what do you do with this pain, its horrible. I have hurt so long and complained so much my family thinks i am a hypochondriac, but honestly the pain is horrid. Is there any hope in sight?

i know it may sound a little 'daft' but lack of vitamins can be a big issue with the body and affect it; badly. Docs give vitamins; and vitamin injections to people iwht various illnesses; so it can have a significant impact on pain and suchlike; esp with undiagnosed digestive issues. For instance, B vitamins to help the nerves recover, proxene xs for arthritis, some tablets reduce uric acid and so on and so forth. Therefore i would recommend you look at what vitamins you may be missing in your diet.
Garlic for instance is akin to penicillin in itsproperties (as well as anti-oxidant and anti inflammatory). so i would look at reducing inflammation by introducing a whole tonne of anti-inflammatory foods, and anti-oxidant foods to assit the blood to clear toxins (thinking that pain killers can build up toxins). I apologise if you are already doing this; and it's stating the obvious - but things like magnese and potassium need regularly introducing to your system. also try and introduce some digestive enzymes; to assist with absorpotion (you can get these froma health food shop).. and of course there aresome natural pain killers you can look up to assist in addition.
constipation can be caused by pain killers and some natural laxatives (coffee, diabetic chocolate - not too much! sugar free sweets, and taking a lot of garlic pills !! ) can assist this too.
pancreas also deals with glucose; so have that checked out; and try and 'fix' the nerves by introducing the relevant vitamins and give it a go fora month. And try and reduce the amount of caffeine/ alcohol (if applicable);as this is a biggie for this type of issue..
I hope this is of assistance, and if you are able to figure out which vitamins coudl improve yr particular issue; then i would appreciate the info. Good luck!!!

i have had a bit of a revelation today; by chance i went to the health food shop (for liver cleansing vitamin foodstuffs); as i decided to go after my health issues starting from the basics. I read up on glutamine; and got some tablets and a range of other stuff; the woman in the shop recommended aloe vera colon cleanse juice (i honestly don't work for the shop or aloe vera!! ). i got that along with some apriocts / macadamia nuts and milk thistle and some dried cranberries.i took some turmeric earlier too. my whole abdomen hasn't felt this good for a long while.. i don't know which it is; but i thought i would share asap. i did have to take a pain killer earlier; and am unsure how it has worked becuase the pain under hte rib cage - has almost ceased to nil.my abdomen almost feels normal... i shall try and keep you updated!! but thought i woudl let you know soonest.

just to let you know that the liquorice tablets kill h pylori and cranberries & oregano together inhibit h pylori; in addition Milk thistle assists in clearing and to some extent 'healing' the liver. Though i have no knoweldge of 'abscesses ' per se; but you might want to think about reading up on oregano oil; and perhaps speak to your GP if you start any other form of treatment or are taking warfarin. make sure you are geting a regular amount of vitamin k too (not too much!).. keep safe and so glad you have an answer; and thank you for sharing; really pleased that you are getting treatment finally.
