Struggling with Chronic Abdominal Pain

Been dealing with undiagnosed abdominal pain for 10 years. GI doctor, gynecologist, urogynecologist are good places to start.

I have exact same thing it could be the colon maybe inflammation I’m guessing

🙌I eat bran on a daily helps me go regularly to bathroom an has helped with abdominal pain

I wonder if you need to be tested for c-diff?

Thanks! I'll mention it to the next gi I go to

I doubt it. Very few GI recommend it. I had to go to 3 before it was recommended and I have to do it at home and send out for results. This whole thing has been a nightmare so I'm hoping to get results! Just look it up, maybe it's worth taking it for your situation too.

Oooh I don't know if I've ever had that. I don't think so though

It's a test that checks for overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine.

What's a sibo test if you don't mind me asking?

I have been struggling with something similar. I have also noticed that more often than not my migraines are worse when my stomach and abdomen hurt. I haven't found a solution yet but I have a SIBO test coming up.

I have seen a GI specialist who found nothing. I'm currently being referred to a second GI for a second opinion

I’m with RJ, you need to see a GI specialist.

You need a referral to a GI. The hospital only looks at big picture things like a bleed. They do not treat any type of chronic pain; just acute. I highly recommend seeing a GI.

Holy heck I did not think this was actually going to find me someone who had literally the exact same issues! We need answers!
