Knot on Left side Under Rib Cage -Painful

[m2k4e]

Hello~ I am 34 fixing to be 35. I just read the  post below i copied. It has been closed.  I am SO HAPPY to have found somebody who has the same thing I am going through. I mean when I read the story I felt like I wrote it. Can you please tell me what you found out!
I went through EXTENSIVE tests in 2004 and they never found anything.  I had 2 gall bladder tests, a vaginal ultrasound, a total body scan, a CT scan, I had the dye run, I had a colonscopy, a endoscopy and they even sent me to a bone doctor. The last time I went to my dr, I was very upset and crying. I told him I was tired of going through all the test and they all coming back normal. I was not crazy and I knew it was something. You can feel the "knot" and its in the SAME place yours was/is.  Do you know he released me saying it was a severe pulled muscle. To rest, and take a anti-flam medicine for pain. It's been almost 4 years, and I have dealt with is best as possible. The pain is coming pain more stronger. I am having all the symtoms again. Loss of appetite, tired all the time, nausea but never vomiting and losing weight.  I just called the hospital and my past doctor to get copies of all my records.

I have severe pain in the left side of my stomach. I have gotten to where I am scared to eat. I have such bad cramps that they wake me up in the middle of the night. I feel like my stomach is going to bust sometimes the cramping is so huge. While this is happening, my stomach is making loud gurgling noises on the left side. I have had a sigmoidoscopy and a barium enima, and stool studies that came back normal. The pain to use the restroom is almost intolerable-- I feel like I may die on the toilet. I am scared because the pain in my left side never goes away now. It feels like a knot under my lower left rib. The stomach spasms have gotten more regular and I am getting to where I dread eating. Do you have any advice? I am a 34 year old female. Could this be crohns disease?

I have this too Iam going to start juicing eatting organic veggies stop sugar it feeds cancer look into all natural healing get my body akaline change everything. Starting getting exercise Taking natural vitamins from health food store B with lots of Vit c and vitamin e with alpha beta gamma delta and stop coffee it makes you me acidic and make sure I know JESUS and pray more. i was having sharp pains but they went away. Get books on natural healing and get organic not GMO stuff IT CAUSES TUMORS. And stay away from red meat especially pork. Parasites like acidic bodies get alkaline. Read up natural healing.

Hi Michelle I'm doing exactly the same thing because I have been diagnosed with a tiny tumor in my abdomen. Be careful with large or mega doses of B6 and B12 as this has been shown to feed cancerous tissue. Some B Complex formulas are borderline for the dosage that is considered harmful. Like gnc which is just below the threshold. I stick to Ester C for the bio-flavonoids (blocks free radicals) No processed foods and especially watch sea food. There is very few fish these days that have not absorbed toxins from our now heavily polluted oceans. Bluefish is gone from the supermarkets, Cod is going now .... etc. etc. ......So no wild caught fish or shellfish, Only farm raised Shrimp and fish.
Onto your second subject:
     I had Gerd off and on for years and every single time it comes back its due to a known bacteria and is easily treated with antibiotics. Heres a quote from 2010
"The role of H. pylori in GERD.  H. pylori infection plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of GERD and other digestive disorders. H. pylori is the most common chronic bacterial pathogen in humans. Statistics indicate that more than 50% of the world population is infected." Of course the makers of PPI's like nexium, etc. don't want you to cure it. The most lucrative drug sales in the world for over 20 years are antacids and proton pump inhibitors which leech bone calcium to quell acid. Don't get me started. Hopefully you will adhere to your sugar free, organic diet and live a long healthier life. I ate well for the past 15 years but not well enough to avoid this recent diagnosis. If I had read this letter in the past and did eat even 25% better perhaps I wouldn't have this diagnosis hanging over my head today.
So heres wishing you all a long and healthy life.
