About 6 months ago I started to have stomach problems.. It started with a pain to the left side of my belly button and slight bloat. I went to my PCP and she said to see a Gastroenterologist.. I couldn't get in for 2 months so between that time, I saw my PCP a few more times and she suggested an ultrasound.. That came back normal. I then went back for my results of the ultrasound and she was feeling around my stomach and I had obvious pain so she suggested a CT Scan. When I went to her office to get my results, she indicated that everything was normal and to wait and see what the Gastroenterologist said. In the mean time, I started to get cramps really bad as if I was on my period. Went back to the doctor and she tested me for a UTI. Went home and took the meds, felt fine.. About a week later I started getting the cramps again and thought it was the UTI back.. Went in and she said its negative.. set me up with a vaginal ultrasound.. Normal.. So now, 6 months later, I still get cramping and bloating. Went to the Gastroenterologist and he suggested I get an endoscopy for a hiatal hernia which I didn't even go back because I have cramps not any of that other stuff.. I'm 28 and active.. Never had a UTI in my life and I also had my annual pap that came back normal except for bacterial vaginitis.. But that wouldn't cause the cramps..I'm about to lose my mind! Any suggestions???

    You sound like you have diverticulosis, because I had the same symptoms as you do and that is what my Gastro told me, but you do commonly get UTIs with this disease, It is a terrible disease and I hope you dont have it, but you should mention it to you Dr.

      Do you feel pressure when you urinate? It almost feels as if I have a UTI but I don't.. It's so frustrating..

      Sometimes I do, My Urologist has me taking macrobid 100 mg 1 time a day everyday as a precaution, whenever I stop taking the antibotic my urine pain and pressure comes back. But I get really bad stomach cramps alot and Dr says that is Diverticulosis, Its really confusing sometime as to where the pain is coming from.
