Digestive/Intestinal Problems

[Aviva1987]

I am 57yo female with horrible gastro intestinal symptoms for several years. Sometimes after I eat or with bad stress my stomach will blow up like I'm 7months pregnant. It will feel like a stick is in my uppper & lower right abdomen to the point where I can't sit & my back will be with severe pain; also my low, low groin area will have a severe crampy feeling. I can only eat small amounts at a time; if I eat too much I will have to vomit part of it up. I've had an Abdominal CT Scan & they said it was normal. When this happens, I can actually see the right lower part of my abdomen grow larger than the left side....Can you give me your opinion based on these symptoms? Thank you kindly. (From: Aviva1987)

I should add that the meds I was on that goofed up my bowels was Ativan, but lots of diff medicines can cause your indigestion.

I'm about your age, and a few years ago I was on a medication that goofed up my digestion something awful, had diarrhea daily for six months, tummy bloated up, and I had your same lower cramp type feeling.  I was given hydrocyamine for when I felt that crampy digestion, and once I got off the meds, my tummy went down.  Another thing is, if you've just finished some antibiotics, that can stop up a person, so drink Acidophilus milk for a couple weeks, it restores the normal bacteria in the guts.
