Constant pain, middle, left & right abdomen

Constant pain, middle, left & right abdomen

Hi, wonder if anyone can help me.

I am in the Uk and have been suffering from pain in the centre, right side and left side of my upper abdomen for about 5 months now.  The pain in the centre is constant but changes in severity throughout the day.  The pain in my right side is there most of the time and feels like there is something there, it is very tender to touch.  The left-side pain is only now and again but can get worse after I have eaten, sometimes it is like a pinching pain.  I also suffer from almost constant nausea (especially when I eat), dizzy spells, occasional palpitations, easily bruseing, spells of low blood pressure and I feel the cold more than most. The pain occasionally radiates to my back and I feel bloated along my bra line. I have lost my appetite and can only manage a few mouthfulls of food before I feel sick or am in great pain, as a result of this I have lost 17lbs in the past month, I am not at all overweight so this is a concern for me.

I have been to my doctor numerous times and so far I have been told that I am slightly anemic and have low blood pressure. I have had 2 lots of  blood tests/stool samples which have come back normal apart from the anemia. I have had an upper GI endoscopy to rule out GERD and ulcer etc which came back normal along with a normal pelvic ultrasound which was also normal. I have recently had an abdominal ultrasound as my doctor thought that I had gallstones (none found) . The ultrasound showed that I have a liver tumor which my doctor has said is a liver hemangioma which is benign and wont be causing my symptoms. He has told me that no further treatment is necessary and has diagnosed me with IBS and sent me home with peppermint oil and co-codimol for the pain. I am concerned that my pancreas (couldn't be seen in the ultrasound) and lower GI have not been checked and no that I have been given no follow up to confirm the liver tumor is actually begin.  I am not sure what to do next.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am getting so fed up with being in pain and am scared as I have a family history of heart disease and bowel cancer.

Many thanks x

It sounds like you have multiple symptoms that could range from hPylori, ulcers, gall bladder, etc.  Take a deep long look at what you are putting in your mouth.  Know each chemical such as MSG-(has 13 different names), sucralose(Splenda is deadly) along with aspertame.  Go get pH test strips and test your acidity. Stop using lunch meats, microwaves, sugars, etc...start eating only natural foods.  Aloe with help with the inflammation in your body.  Wheat Grass is a alkalizer and detoxer. Go back to the basic foods.  Grains have mycotoxins (fungus).  Try eating no red meats or meats with hormones.  Give your body a detox.  Let me know how things turn out!
