Stomach and lower back pain

[Russ905]

3 weeks ago I became ill from what I think was food poisoning.  I was vomiting for a day. Once gone, I am continuing to have a cramping pain in my upper right abdomen, I have cramping and gas pains accross my lower abdomen and I also have achiness on both side of my lower back.  The pains are dull but are rather consistent and don't seem to go away. My appetite comes and goes. When I do eat the pain gets stronger after a few hours.  Looking to know if food poisoning can last that long or if there is another problem unrelated?

no fever. I have taken tums and it just makes you feel more bloated.  I have given up....I got a doctor's appt. this afternoon to see what is going on. Thanks for you comments.  I post the results later.

I have never heard of food posioning lasting that long but then again I'm no doc. Do you have a fever? You may want to get a scan to check for gastritis or appendicitis. Have you taken anything for the gas?
