What Could Cause Stomach Pain?

Hi I am having pains in my stomach for the last 4-5 months. I Have went to my doctor and had a full range of blood tests done and everything came up ok I am to have a scan done in a few months. I also have a lot of foul smelling flauts. My pains are more in the morning. I have to go to the toilet more often like 2-4 times per day but stool seams normal. Any ideas. Kind regards Hugh Mc Cann

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of pains in abdomen for the last 4-5 months, blood tests were normal, scan is schedules in a few months, lot of foul smelling flaunts, pains are more in the morning, have to go for toilet 2-3 times in a day - wants ideas...
With the history you have provided, the problem looks to be an intestinal infection.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Send the stool for tests for three consecutive days.
CT scan of abdomen.
Colonoscopy and biopsy.
These tests will help to get you the proper diagnosis.
The management can be planned accordingly.
May be a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole can help to cure your problems.
Also needed are probiotics, multivitamins, activated charcoal as you have foul smelling stools.
I find this answer helpful
