Chronic Abdominal pain with no diagnosis
Hello everyone, I am suffering from chronic upper left abdominal pain for past month and the severity of pain took me to emergency 3 times in last 3 weeks. I had my blood work, xray, ultrasound and gastroscopy done all the test came out fine. Doctors don’t know what’s wrong with me. When pain starts it last for 4-5 hours and happens atleast twice a day (which is almost whole day). No diet or dietary restrictions helping. Please suggest relief if anyone have any idea

IF you have been to the "physical" doctors and they've run all the physical tests, research SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) though the gastro doc. You have to push for these things. The only remedy is XIFAXAN a targeted antibiotic and it works like a charm! ( I died in the first round as it attacked the SIBO and I have never been in so much pain for a few hours!) Now periodically it returns and I know what to do. Also, separately try the FODMAP diet - it is free at Monash University. DO THAT and you will know if it is something related to food you can't digest properly as opposed to a physical obstruction like polyp or cancer.
It sounds like you might have a gall stone or a kidney stone that has not been located. Keep pursuing it.
