Severe Abdominal Pain
Posted: 03-07-04 20:38pm

I have had severe abdominal pain for 5 months following hospitalisation from vomiting blood and being unable to eat for two weeks. I have not been diagnosed, but they say it is "idiomatic" I have been on and off paradex and pethidiene -up to 450mg a day and I still experience nausea. Blood has been detected in my urine several times, and it is usually a reddish colour.

I have had cat and mri scans, colonoscopy and gastroscopy, and nothing has shown up. This pain is crippling and wakes me up at night 2 or three times.

I am often uable to walk.

I stop taking pain killers every so often to prevent addiction and narcotic bowel syndrome. My doctors and the hospital here in new zealand do not seem to know what to do. This is destroying my life. I am 27 years old, a non smoker and non drinker with no previous health problems. Anyone have any ideas

I don't know but I do think it might be worth your while checking out auto-immune diseases like irritable bowel syndrome etc they can also mimic each other, see if any of what you come across makes any sense or rings any bells for you


www.Scd.Net.Com (specific carbohydrtae diet -relates to irritable bowel syndrome but it's a place to start)
