Have they looked at your gallbladder? Mine had issues and I didn’t know that’s what it was until I had it removed in emergency surgery and was extremely sick.

Where’s your stomach pain located? I had debilitating stomach pain for over a month before I had a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with gastritis. I’m still experiencing a little bit of pain, but I’m mainly controlling it with diet and acid reducers. For heartburn, I would recommend omeprazole 20 mg once daily (usually 30-60 minutes before dinner or your biggest meal on an empty stomach). You could use tums or alka-seltzer or something with calcium carbonate for breakthrough pain. Umm there’s a lot of other dietary and personal changes I would recommend as well.

Have you asked for an ultrasound to rule out ulcers? My sister had stomach pain for months and ended up not being able to eat almost anything. They finally did an ultrasound, and found 6 ulcers.

I’m having the same issue but also with vomiting and headaches. Went to the hospital nothing occurred. I suggest reaching out to a GI doctor and getting an endoscopy

Have you had a CT scan? I was hospitalized last year for an abscess between my colon and appendix all because I was severely constipated, it was so painful and uncomfortable!

Also, try reaching out to your doctor to get in a prescription for an acid reducer. I take 40mg of Pepcid twice a day and it helps with the acid

Advocate for yourself and don’t be afraid to tell your doctor the severity of your pain! Bloodwork may not show everything

GI issues are not to be messed with. Go to the emergency room if you can’t bare it anymore!
