Stomachaches and abdominal pain

[Alexandra_M]

Does anyone experience gastrointestinal reflux, nausea and sometimes severe abdominal pain? I get it before n after I eat sometimes. Or it can last for days. Went for an endoscopy this year n everything was clean. So it must be the Fibro.

I had this 14 years ago and lost 5 stone in 6 weeks they said it was galstones i had it for a few months before i lost all the weight i got my gallbladder out but after they said i had loads of stones in mu bile ducks the thing is it was

My mum who ask the doctor could it be my gallbladder as they had no idea what was wrong with me so i would put it out to your gp a simple blood tedt should show your liver function to be a bit higger avoid dairy and not a trace og fat i livered on been and chicken grilled till i got sorted 1 crisp set

Me off one night i was on the floor in pain. Hope this helps

I have this too but I know it is gallstones I am waiting to have it taken out I am living on rice at the moment it hurts so much. As sheelagh said get it checked an endoscopy wouldnt show that up I think I had a scan to show mine and I take buscapan and omeprozole which is similar to nadine try cutting all fat out and see if it helps and talk to your GP

Hi Alexandra, I get all of these from time to time but agree it can't always be put down to the fibro. I have been diagnosed with IBS and I know sometimes what I eat or what medication I take seems to affect both this and the reflux. However, as suggested it would be wise for you to see your GP again as something may have changed from last year. I think you need to see him also if only for your own peace of mind.

Hope you are feeling better soon, let us know how you go, love Angela xx

IBS and GERD (reflux) are individual diagnoses in themselves. Its common to get them with Fibro but should still be properly diagnosed, and that includes ruling out everything else that could cause those symptoms, including food intolerances and medication side effects, as well as the more serious inflammatory bowel diseases, ulcers, etc.

Thank you for all ur answers, it means so much to me. I will go on 24th for a scan, hope it goes ok.

Yes this seems to be a common occurance! I had my gall bladder removed but still experience problems... IBS and the medication! I have to watch fatty foods, pastry & bread (anything made with wheat), pickles (anything with vinegar in), yeast, and alcohol. I take omeprazole.
