Abdominal Pain

I have extreme abdominal pain once every month to 2 months. The pain is unbearable, and radiates to the back, and I usually go to the hospital and receive morphine. I have had this problem constantly for over a year. I am 22 years old, healthy and very active in sports. I have had many different things unofficially diagnosed and nothing  proven, such as pancreatitus, acid reflux, food poisoning, and constipation. Doctors and specialists do not know what it is. I have had an endoscopy, an ultrasound, and other tests done, which have not shown anything evident like ulcers or galstones. I always have high white blood cell count from blood tests, and the only thing proven has been an 'inflammation of the duodenum. The pain usually lasts 2-4 days, and does not allow me to sleep. The pain is so bad that I have found that morphine does not make the pain stop. Usually doctors relied on the idea of alcohol being a factor, thinking that I had pancreatitus from occasional drinking. I used to drink occasionally, about once a week, and now I have not drank for over 8 months, and I still get the pain about once a month. The last doctor I went to said that he is positive it is not pancreatitus. So like every time, as soon as the pain slows down I am sent home without an answer or any idea of what the problem is. I would like to get some answers because I think it is something serious. Thanks

Read my profile.  Any pain in the digestive area is inflammation.  Aloe will help calm.  Go to health food store and buy pH test strips.  Should read 7.3.  Start alkalizing with Wheat Grass.  Also buy refrigerated Probiotics.  Read the top ten detoxing foods.  Start watching and KNOW every chemical that goes into your mouth.  MSG has 13 other names and it is deadly.  Start relaxing your body throughout the day....relax as if you melted...relax all organs also.  At this time, start VISUALIZING your body healing....Visualize your stomach with bright pink healthy color....intestines the same, liver the same etc.  You are now in recovery and healing!

Did you receive medication for the inflamed duodenum? If not, it is worth talking to your doctor about, because this can definitely be the cause of your persistent abdominal pain.
