Hello. My name is Elizabeth and i am 20 years of age. I have a history of Colon Polyps (cancerous). I also have high blood pressure and cholesterol. I also am anemic. My family has a history of cancer, you name it we've had it (i'm literally not joking..)
i usually take bacterial infection medication(no longer on), pain medication, nausea/vomiting medication, and also a. reflex medication. i have no Allergies.

I have been having pain around my belly button, lower left abdomen, right lower abdomen, lower back and shoulder blade pain. i will also sometimes get a stabbing pain in either my right arm in the middle where your arm bends or pain in my hand. occasionally,  i will have pain in both of my breast but not usually at the same time.
i get really nausea extremely bad and sometimes vomit even when on medication. i usually get the urge to go to the restroom (stool).

i do have a appointment at Sinai Hospital May 30th and if they cant figure out then i got to John Hopkins.

Please, if you can help or any suggestions on what could be going on or what i should do please comment below..

Thank you! :)

If you have a gluten allergy (or even sensitivity), that is absolutely what could be causing many of your problems.  You could test negative and still have a sensitivity to it.  I would most definitely go on a STRICT gluten free diet for at least six weeks and see how you feel.

Thank you for your encouragement!

I've been to Carroll Emergency multiple times, but they've always sent me home after 6 hours usually saying it's bacteria. i know that it is not bacteria because my doctor has cleared it. i've also been to NorthWest Hospital, where  i got my endoscopy and colonscopy  done but after the biopsy..  they kept telling me that it was Gluten allergy but i did the testing for it.

I am hoping that i will finally get an answer!
