Constant upper abdominal pain
I have Short Bowel Syndrome. I am having constant abdominal pain above my belly button and to the left of my abdomen and I also have constant nausea. Doctors don't know how to treat my constant abdominal pain and constant nausea. Abdominal pain doesn't change with what I eat, doesn't change with bowel movements and doesn't change with moving around/walking etc. Resting doesn't change my constant abdominal pain and constant nausea.

Do you have to make an appt with the Social Worker?
I worked as one for awhile & we went out to clients.
Unless the worker is a therapist, then you would make an appt.
Glad you found out "ileus".... don't know what that is, but understand
about the doctor.

I have to make a appointment to see the social worker. Ileus means that my small intestines are going to sleep, so somehow I have to find away to wake them up. Doctors still don't want to treat me for ileus,so I continue to suffer with constant abdominal pain and nausea.
GI doctor thinks it's ileus caused by SIBO. I can't be tested for SIBO because of my Short Bowel Syndrome, so my GI doctor prescribed me Xifaxan (antibiotics) to see if that helps. GI doctor isn't treating me for ileus just the Xifaxan to see if it's from SIBO.
I don't have bloating, No gas,No indigestion, No cramps/ spasms. Just constant abdominal pain and constant nausea.
I have been on Xifaxan for about 5 days and still no change in how I feel.
Have you heard about central abdominal pain syndrome (CAPS)? I have 24/7 abdominal pain and I’m wondering if I have it.

I have researched it but doesn't sound like what I have. My symptoms are more related to my Short Bowel Syndrome condition not being treated.
