. I also have a lot of gas during these episodes. I take Prevacid for reflux. My gastronologist has found polups on two occasions and they were removed. I go in every three years for this test. This pain in my lower right (always right side) flares up about 1 to 2 times a year. Each time I have such pain we think it is a UTI but the urnine test comes back normal, even though in the doctors office it appears there is something abnormal looking. Prior to the exploratory surgery my urologist has done numerous tests where my bladder and kidney were looked at, which came back normal. Two different urologists have done these tests. They found I had some blood in my urine which they were tracking for cause. No cause for the blood in urine "some patients have blood in urine". What could possibly be this problem and who or where do I turn to for answers. History of this has been ongoing for over 20 yrs. .. it has not been as frequent as early prior to the removal of the appendix. Help!
Welcome to the gastroenterology community! How often has this been happening? Have you found a correlation to anything (like anything you ate)? How long does it last for when it happens?
