What Causes Severe Abdomen Pain From Belly Button To The Stomach?

I have had some really severe stomach attachs for years. The pain starts at my belly button and goes to my stomach. I have no gallbladder and I have about 5 sec until Im hurting and bloated like Im 9 months pregnant. Alls I can do is walk and cry, sometimes I throw up and other times I get severe diarrhea. I feel like I m going to blow up and pop. It can last from 15 min to a hour or longer. I can not lay down I m in such pain, alls I can do is walk with my arms up and cry, I walk fast back and forth and move side to side. I have alot of problems with my bowels I have to take meds (Linzees 290) to use the bathroom and it is either watery or rabbit pellets. without the medicine I can go up to weeks with no bowel movement. I have had an upper and lower GI and all was good. They even did a biopsy of my stomach and colon and all was good. But I m still having the problem. It may hit once a week or more or only once a month. Any suggestion on what this can be please! I also have alot of gas no matter what I take.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, I would advise you for some modification in your diet like more of roughage, enough liquids, avoidance of oily, fried, and fast food and also to avoid any alcoholic beverages and smoking if you do. Also a regular routine exercises like morning walk depending on your medical fitness would also be helpful.

In addition, I would also go for a CBC, serum amylase and lipase, and an LFT to rule out the chances of this being a chronic pancreatitis. An abdominal ultrasound would rule out the pathology in the liver, and a recurrent stone in the common bile duct (CBD). Till the reports of all these investigations along with the result of a clinical assessment are available, I would advise you for an anti spasmodic and a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
