What Causes Severe Stomach Pain While Eating Food?

default
Posted on Tue, 23 Sep 2014
Question: About 4 months ago I was in excruciating pain and felt a mass in my stomach. It literally felt like it was ripping open and pushed scar tissue towards the surface. I lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks due to severe pain when eating. I went to 3 different ers and was turned away in tears every time. The xray showed nothing. Ct scan showed only scar tissue and I have had no surgeries. Doctors said I showed signs of infection at times with high white blood cell count and a week with bumps from pelvic region to below ribs. I thankfully gained ten lbs back as i was thin to begin with. Upper endoscopy showed gastritis and my gynocologist suspects endometriosis as I have many symptoms of that as well. Also symptoms indicitive of ahesions. He told me to take my birth control through my periods to eliminate them and I have had some releif. About when this started I noticed oral thrush but only discovered what it was about a week and a half ago. Probiotics, anti fungals, immune systems boosters and diet changed have been implemented. I see a slight improvement but I now I have what looks like black heads comin out of one ear lobe and by my belly button. The fungus growing. I have also had the abdominal mass through the whole ordeal which myself and my boyfriend can feel and at times even see. I feel like I'm dying from the inside out and have no idea where to turn to next. Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Brief Answer:
Get HIV, HBsAg, Anti HCV done.Send CT report

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I went through your post with diligence and it seems you could be having some immuno deficient state. Have you got tested for HIV, HBsAg and Anti HCV? If not, then I will suggest you to get it done. Your primary care provider can help you get the tests done.

What was your CT Scan report can you please upload the reports / films here. I also suspect retroperitoneal fibrosis or Ormonds disease. We need to see whether you have any lymph node swellings in abdomen or not. CT scan's will help us here.

In the interim continue the medicines that have been advised. I will wait for the investigation reports as advised. Do not worry, we will try and come to a possible explanation for all that is wrong with you and find an amicable treatment.

Take care.
