Chronic Stomach pain

Every time I eat, i get a sharp pain in my stomach. This has been going on since as long as I can remember ( since I was little, i'm 23 now ). The pain is feels like a knife is going into my stomach, and is severe.

Do you have pain through your back to front also? Do you drink much alcohol? If you answered YES to these questions, Get your Apaise & Lipase levels checked. Its a sinple blood test & will tell you if it is pancreatitis. This is effected after eating, Mosty fatty foods or drink a lot of alcohol.  I had to quit all alcohol & fatty foods to keep mine ubder control. Good Luck!

YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE YOUR PANCREASE & GALBLADDER CHECKED. I AM NO DR. HOWEVER, LIVING WITH CHRONIC PANCREATITIS, USUAL PAIN STARTS FROM LEFT SIDE, BACK, COMING FORWARD, JUST UNDER THE BREAST. DRINKING CAN BE THE OR A CAUSE. I HAD 6 ACCUTE ATTACKS WHILE DRINKING A LOT. SOBER 6.5 YRS. & JUST HAD ANOTHER WITH NO EXPLAINATION WHY, GOOD LUCK,

Hi, sorry to hear about your pain. I cant say for sure but have you ruled out IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).
Do you suffer with constipation or diarrhoea?  Is the pain relieved after a bowel movement? Abdominal bloating?
If the answers are yes it is likely to be IBS, you should go and speak to your GP about your symptoms.

Wow, I get that. But my upper GI gets those lightning bolt pains from days intense worry or eating chocolate (my favorite) chocolate anything.
Since u were a child u say?
What makes it better?
What makes it worse?
Why haven't you seen a doc or mentioned it?
My family has gut problems but each of us differs. I fight "the green apple quick step" every other day.
By your "stomach" do u mean upper GI?
Sounds like u are in much misery, please see someone ok?
