What's going on? Help!?
Every day since July 8th I have be having horrible stomach pains after I eat. They usually start up an hour or two after I guzzle and can last anywhere from 45 minutes to 14 hours. The only things I can munch through that DO NOT hurt are chicken strips, french fries, and ice cream. At least those are the solitary things I've tried that don't hurt. There are days at a time that I do not have the courage to eat anything because I do not want to spend the rest of the daytime in pain. [It is a stabbing niggle that burns occasionally.]
I have been to the emergency room twice beside this problem as it has gotten to the point where I can't manipulate it. I am usually very good next to pain (i watched my brother almost brake my wrist [on accident] and didn't flinch once) but this is too much. I gain very nauseous and dizzy. I own also been to see my regular doctor and am currently waiting for an appointment with a gastroenterologist (excuse the misspelling).
So far adjectives we know is that I do not have gall stones and that my impudence bladder is functioning normally. I also am not pregnant, which is what some weirdo told me this was.
By the road I am a fifteen year old female and I am tough except for this problem.
As I said before I am awaiting my appointment with the specialist but in that is only one in my nouns that accepts pediatric cases and I will not see her until September. I need nouns and options now!
If you enjoy heard or experienced anything like this, please, I would approaching to know. It's driving me crazy not knowing what is going on with me. It is making me depressed and my family is taking it firm, too, as we are all very close.
Your backing is appreciated. I apologize for any misspellings regarding the medical terms. Like I said... I am just fifteen.
Answer: Dear Static,
From the time frame you mentioned, it would suggest a possible inflammatory bowel disorder, ulcerous condition in your colon, or even constipation.
There are a number of test to narrow this condition down to a correct diagnosis and treatment. Anyone would be guessing at this point.
May I suggest that you eat several drastically small meals during the day to see if that relieves or reduce the pain. If your colon is inflamed, the surface may be very sensitive and hurts as food processes from the digestive stage within your stomach though the absorption stage in your colon.
You may involve to try a very bland diet until your tests can be done. Try a small bowel of oatmeal, or mash potatoes and unseasoned gravy, and see if that causes problems. Avoid any spices or seasonings, and use decaffeinated liquids. If you are not "regular", a fiber supplement that you mix near water might help. Constipation can bring terrible pains in the colon.
Try not to agree to this get you down. There is a correct answer available, but not on this forum. There are treatments and medications to oblige the condition to resolve, and deal with the aching.
Have you been prescribed any acid blocking pills, or acerbic neutralizing liquids or tablets, prior to drinking?
If not, the pharmacist can advise your parents on their use, and a call to your doctor to ensure anything I've mentioned is OK to try.
I'm sorry you hurt. But it's lone for now and it will get better near correct treatment..
That is weird that french fries and chicken strips are tolerable, the breading can be pretty abrasive. I would in consequence say it doesn't have to do near irritation(ulcers) if you can handle deep fried breaded foods. A stabbing discomfort? Maybe your stomach is leaking acidic stomach acids onto your other organs. That's not average, I hope it's nothing too severe and I would definitely procure that checked ASAP. maybe you could try a prilosec before you guzzle.
One thing it could be is a serious food allergy. You could also try seeing a chiropractor. Often times things like stomach pains and headache can be stopped with a correctly aligned spine. I am not doctor, these are just suggestions that I own (I have a friend who has have similar problems).
