Chronic Gas and Addominal pain

[ironchef]

I have been having this pain in my right side since November of 2006. I have gone to the doctors, had multiple tests performed, eg. Ultrasound which they saw bile, Hida Scan, Upper GI, Lower Gi, the upper gi said that I had stomach irritation and no medicine was administered.   Now on Lupron and the problem is worst, it feels like my right side is leaking, because I hear bubbling, gurgling and my stomach is always distended.   Can't belch or fart and is always constipated and it seems like my feces get stuck on the right side.  I went to the doctor two weeks ago and she put me on bentyl for IBS,  no relief.   I see this same doctor tomorrow May 6th, 2008.  I have pain when I eat, before and after.  Can't hardly sit upright.  I tried Apple Cider vinegar, baking soda, molasses.  my stomach feels like it is going to explode.   Was diagnosed with a contracted gallbladder in December 0f 2006.  I have no idea what that is.  My stress level is probably elevated, because of not knowing what is wrong.

Hi ironchef,
The symptoms you have mentioned are suggestive of irritable bowel syndrome.For better relief from symptoms you may take antidepressants/anxiolytics along with bentyl.

You can discuss about this with your physician who might prescribe them for you.
