Constant Stomach Pain

I have been having a constant dull ache after I eat for the past two years. My doctor was treating me for an ulcer with zantac and them nexium. Nothings seems to help. He did a CAT scan on me and the only thing that came up was an incinsional hernia. I had surgery in December and my pain is back just like before. I just changed doctors and now the new doctor suspects I have gallstones. I had an ultra sound and the tech said she saw some stones. I go to the doctor next week to discuss and I want to be sure this time before I have to have more surgery. My pain occurs after I eat and it could be anything. Once I drank cold water and the pain occured. Once when I ate oatmeal. I thought gallstones only flaired up after a fatty meal.

I had my gall bladder removed in December. I had pain after anything I ate except yogurt. Fatty meals would have killed me if I ate them. I couldn't drink coffee or tea at all. It got to the point were I could hardly eat anything. It sounds to me as if your gallbladder is causing your problems. I had a constant dull ache and stomach pain.

My ultrasound came back clear and weight loss, abdominal gnawing pain is chronic now 6.5 months. Is a MRI or a CT with contrast a better tool ?

There are many nature ways of getting rid of gallstones without surgery.  You should contact a homeopath doctor if you don't want to have a surgery.

According to one of the leading book on natural healing, you can try the following:

Take 3 tablespoons of olive oil with the juice of a lemon before bed and upon awakening.  Stones are often passed and eliminated in the stool with this technique -- look for them.  you can use grapefuit juice instead.

This is a very nature way of getting rid of the stones and it doesn't hurt to try it.

I hope you guys get well.

I suffered with my gallbladder pain for a year and went through every test there was and they all came back negative.I was seeing a Doctor at Yale. He made me suffer with the pain wouldnt give me any pain medication.I finally gave up and started seeing another gastro dr. She sent me to a surgeon and they took out my gallbladder it wasnt working right it was only collecting scar tissue.Go to a another Dr Good luck

If a ultrasound shows nothing of Gallstones. What could cause chronic abdominal pain. I have daily stomach aches and eat small bland meals. I had a endoscopy yesterday without any sedation and my Ph tests should be in soon.

I miss eating without pains. After 7 months would you consult a Hollistic doctor for nutrional options or eat Tums and hope to gain your weight back. Wonder if Ct and MRI's are helpful tests our Radiology director thought so. thanks
