Stomach pain+excess bile+ulcers
by cshap, Oct 30, 2008 05:44PM
I am a teenage female. I have been having severe sharp pains in my stomach for about 2 years. I am currently taking Nexium, Levbid, Carafate, Alesse (for hormone therapy, my pain always worsens with my period). My symptoms are pain, fatigue, headaches, loss of appetite, weight loss, and nausea. I am currently seeing a pediactric GI. I have had A LOT of blood work (that always comes back normal), 4 endoscopies, 1 colonoscopy, the barium xray, and a bowel emptying scan (radiology) within the last year. My first endoscopy showed severe linear ulcers in my stomach and small intestine, by my second and third scopes, they were gone (thanks to the Carafate) but I had suspicious and "old" looking tissue. My colonoscopy was completely normal. My fourth endoscopy was just this week, my ulcers are back, and I have a lot of bile in my stomach still. My GI doctor says she has never seen anything like my case and neither have several of her coleages. At this point I just really want a diagnosis, any ideas?
