I am 37 years old, female with history of early menopause on mothers side at 39, allergy to codeine and compozine and some antibiotics, have Rhenauds disease in hands and feet and 2 thinning and one slightly bulging disk of lower back.
The last 6 months have been off and on severe stomach aches that are more gas related as I do not have an urge to throw up just severe gas pains and stomach cramps and Kaopectate helped some. I have been to my internist and they have tested everything except my colon. All the tests of the stool, urine, ultrasound of gall bladder all came back negative - healthy liver, gall bladder, pancreas and kidneys. I was on Cipro and did fine for one week and now am taking Nexium and starting Culturelle tonight. I had a severe stomach attach for 3 days when tried Lactaid milk. I am now off of Cipro since no bacteria found in stool. I have reintroduced normal foods and last nights one small slice of pizza plain with cheese woke me up this morning 7 hours after eating it to the same thing I had 3 weeks ago of severe stomach and gas pains again! I have experienced tender areas in my stomach and woke up one morning to severe tenderness of my ribs in the center at the tips as hurt so bad that I felt like I was having a heart attack. All has seemed to subsided.
Any advice or thoughts of what this may be as I do plan to now go to a Gastreenterologist this week and see if she can give me some answers as I am frustrated and want to feel better! :(
