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.

@chx
I see your point.
HIDA scan also measures the gallbladder’s emptying rate.
Another option would be to check with your doctor if a test could be done when you have an attack.
Was an ultrasound done of the gallbladder?
@chx It sounds like Gall Bladder trouble.I had a similar pain in stomach that radiated to back before I got my Gall bladder removed 20 yrs ago.An ultrasound diagnosed it.
@cardigan I completed an ultrasound, but nothing was found and it was clear.

1 Reaction@astaingegerdm 1 month on the Milk Thistle will unclog your bile ducks. This is not something i’ve read on clickbait. Go to any healthfood store & talk to them about it since they clean u out so well that if you are on blood pressure drugs you can’t take it
@conchgirl
I’m aware of milk thistle’s reported positive actions in the liver. I used to give it to my dog. However, it would not be able to dissolve solid material in the bile ducts.

Link to Mayo description of milk thistle.
@chx Well at least the Ultrasound was clear but of course it does not solve your problem.Kidney problems can give back pain also.It seems difficult to find causes of inflammation.
I got my gallbladder removed a couple years ago. I still have constant upper abdominal pain and nausea. Had a MR enterography, CT enterography and a small bowel follow through tests done.
I have a ileus and my intestines muscles are weak. So trying to figure out how to get that treated.
@tjanet Would it be Bile Malabsorption I wonder.This can happen after Gall bladder removal.
@cardigan
Mine isn't caused by Bile Malabsorption.
@tjanet I don't know what it could be as you had so many tests and nothing showed up.The only other thing that I could think of would be diverticulitis or an ovarian cyst.both being on the left side.
