I'm a 55 year old male married to a wonderful lady. I have been struggling with a rare form of IBS called Chronic Abdominal Pain 20 years. It had pretty much gone away for 15 years. then in 2011 my wife with MS died in my arms. I remarried in 2013 and moved 45 miles from my mom. In 2015, my father died suddenly. SINCE then, I have been having constant stomach pain. I hardly work and cancel lots of contract work. I have to take money out of my mother's trust to survive which brings on guilt and I feel worthless sitting trying different meds for some help. I just love where I live and my mom is all alone and I don't get up to see her like I want because of how I feel and we are best friends. I feel like I'm letting everyone down. On a new med Gapabentin right now which is helping a little bit.

Have you tried magnesium oil. It regulates the body and relaxes the muscles. It regulates the body's PH so helps with acid problems as well as relaxing you. You should try it , it will take time to adjust but it will help you have to be patient. You might get instant relief, many have. Inexpensive and available online or in health food shops. Start with one spray morning and night and each week build up an extra sray of oil till you reach saturation.
Quando,
You have actually diagnosed yourself perfectly. You have insight to your problem.
Honor the man you are by seeking out a therapist who does EMDR .
in the mean time:
Louise Hay wrote a book many years ago called,
You Can Heal your Life.
She describes why folks get stomach pain, from an emotional view point, and how to re frame your belief about it.
You owe it to yourself to work on inner beliefs.
