@efg4me even an injection!
Oh my.
So, an infusion would be worse…
How about transdermal?
Is there a cream or patch strong enough?
You need something ASAP!
I’m sitting here thinking…
When you had your stomach surgery, did they give you any alternative suggestions for what you are experiencing now?
Oh, TRY THIS!
When my stomach is upset I can rub peppermint essential oil mixed with a little cream on my belly. I rub it all over my middle around my navel. It really helps! Get some Therapeutic Grade peppermint essential oil. You can’t use it directly on your skin. It must be mixed with cream or anything else.
Even smelling it will help!
Let us know how you are doing. You are not alone!
Blessings
Susan

Thank you! I make homemade Body Butter and other bath products so I have therapeutic grade essential oils, high quality butters, moisturizing oils; I’ll try that.
As for my stomach pain, even topical NSAID’s can hurt your stomach. It has to do with prostaglandin (also, COX 1 and COX 2) that contributes to inflammation but also protects the stomach from digesting itself. When you don’t have a completely functioning stomach (after gastric bypass) damaging what’s left of your stomach is super easy. (That’s the best way I can describe it)
