Gas Pain

Hi. I'm 39/F and I need your help.  2 years ago, I had a hysterectomy (beginning of cerv. cancer).  2 months after surgery, started having stomach cramps.  Went to ER was told I had an inflammation. Since then, I have had some severe stomach cramps that usually clear up within an hour or so.  But, this August something new happened.  I would start to feel the pain in my stomach and then I would get SEVERE rectal gas pain.  My stomach would be so distended, I couldn't even put a finger on it!  It feels like everything stops. Then, after 1-5 hours, I feel "things" start moving again. Then, there is a mass exodus of air and the pressure/pain is gone.  I'm also taking Protonix for reflux.  I've had a colonoscopy (04' - normal), upper G.I.-normal, lower G.I - normal, CT SCANS - normal, and ultrasound of ovaries - normal.  Anyone experienced this kind of pain?

Thanks so much for your reply! I do feel alone in this.  I see alot on the web about stomach pain (which I also have) but it's this new pain that's got me really scared. I can't find any info on people feeling this way or at least so severe.  If i'm not flat out suffering from major pain, I feel "zingers" of pain at any given moment.  Last night (my b-day) was another big attack.  Party was cut short.  In answer to your questions, I have wonderful girlfriends who have put me on probiotics, eat nothing but organic, and oils daily.  I was also just given an enzyme to try taking before meals.  I have not had antibiotics in my system since - probably at least a year ago.  I'm aware of how bacteria can take over your intestines.  I've been faithful in my pro-biotics for only about 2 months right now.  Any help you can offer would be appreciated.  When the pain happens, this is what I do:  Hopefully get in a hot tub, try taking charco-caps, 600 mg of Advil.  Any thing different work for you?

thanks again.  Julie
