Hey Cynthia - sorry you are having issues - that's no fun. Around a year out I had something similar but it was a sudden onset of pain in my abdomen right around my belly button and it was so bad that I couldnt even stand up straight or lay down flat - I'm hoping that you havent been dealing with a month of that type of pain however, it was noticeably worse after drinking/eating anything even with the sudden onset. It turned out that my intestines had twisted and were herniating themselves - I had to have emergency surgery the same day I went to Dr Giovanni's office. I wonder if your's is something similar but maybe it's twisting and then untwisting itself (which is common) - I had a CAT scan where you drink the barium stuff and that is what showed the twist... Go to the dr when you are having the pain and insist on a CAT Scan...

Hope you feel better - good luck - keep us posted!

Hello Everyone!!! Looking for Help/insight here?  

I have been suffering with pain in my stomach for a little over a month now.  Originally thought it was due to travel/diet changes but when it did not correct after I got back to my routine and started to get worse I consulted my Dr.  Well I have gone through several tests now and am on two meds but still have pain in my stomach whenever I eat or drink ANYTHING I have sharp pain that turns to a ache that at times is very debilitating.  I feel best either laying down or sitting with my knees to my chest, basically in a ball.  I had a ultrasound that did not show an issue with the Gallbladder, and just completed a more detailed test on it today.  I am on meds for GERD/Ulcer with no relief yet.  Hopeful that we will find a cause before the exploratory surgery stage so looking for any advice or if anyone else has had this type of pain.

thats great!  you are on your way now!  It'll be here before you know it.  Thats very exciting.      Eldy
