Please help! Input needed.
am a 20 year old female who has one child. I have had this stomach issue for almost three years now. It started as a strange feeling in my left side whenever my daughter would kick me while I was pregnant. Ever since she has been born the feeling has been more painful and has more symptoms with it but no diagnosis. My stomach gets very sore on my left, lower side and it sometimes feels like a pressure or pulsing.it also sometimes feels like something cold is leaking down my left side after I drink something cold. The pain can be anything from dull and achy to sharp and stabbing and can last from minutes to hours. Recently I have noticed the pain comes up when I have gas. I have noticed that if I don't let the gas out one end it travels seconds later to the other and so on until its released. I also recently have started feeling nauseous with the stomach pains.I also just have an overall disgusting stomach feeling like when you have the flu but it never progresses to anything but pain. I have had an upper gi, colonoscopy and a laparoscopy investigation and nothing has been diagnosed other than muscle spasms and I was told months ago that they would go away but new syptoms keep arising. Any info on what it may be, who to see or what to do would be very helpful.
With the gassy pain, it is clearly trapped wind.
Avoid all fizzy drinks, sprouts, cabbage and white bread. You may be gluten intolerant.
Keep a food diary of everything that passes your lips to see if you can find a pattern when the problem is worse.
Cut out very fatty, fried and very spiced foods.
You can get renal colic with kidney problems, so do look at your urine to see if it is normal and does not smell like offal (kidneys).
Have you been tested for Helicobacter Pylori? A breath test is more accurate, sometimes a stool test is taken. Blood tests do not give accurate readings.
If your symptoms have not settled, make an appointment to see your doctor again.
