Lower Right Quadrant Pain

[elmer69]

Hi,

I have IBS and about a week ago started up with stabbing/twisting pains in my LRQ after mistakenly eating udon (didn't know it was wheat). I get pain around the belly button, right side and then down into the ileocecal area. Nothing helps. Not Tylenol or castor oil packs. It has waxed and waned for a week. If I eat solid food the pain starts up again immediately while eating, not after eating, during eating, like a few bites in, I don't understand this. It hasn't even hit my intestine yet unless I have a giant hole that the food is dropping through.

If I stay on soft foods it's ok. So after a week, I was able to start up on solid food again slowly. Until last night. Like a dumass I wanted to test the negative celiac results. I ate a few bites of birdseye broccoli and pasta, like 4 bites. Immediate pain that has not let up since.

A year and a half ago I had this same issue. The onset of LRQbelly button pain after eating a steak taco. It didn't go away for two months. bloodwork and sonogram are all normal. does not hurt to palpate. the doctor had no answers. it went away on its own and hasn't returned until now.

I got bloodwork done again a few days ago, Celiac negative. Blood normal except for inflammation marker that is high. I don't eat red meat anymore and avoid gluten, flour, yeasted food. Vegetables are impossible to digest. I live on yogurt, eggs, apples and soup but keep gaining weight.

Sorry this is so long. I'm desperate. Has anyone had this pain?

My GI consult isn't til August. Who knows when I will get an appt everything is so backed up after covid.

Im trying not to worry, assuming a flare. If it was appendicitis or gallstones it would be sore to palpate. I've been told nerves in the stomach, stress, IBS. Maybe ICV.

Anyone have the mystery resolved?

Yes I have the same intermittent recurrent pain. All examinations inconclusive till now and now waiting for an appointment with a surgeon to discuss an embryologic anatomic anomaly as possible cause of my symptoms/pain. It's called mobile cecum syndrome. See my posts for more info.

After a bad day of pain i wake up with.faint tiny green bruises on my belly. Dr not concerned. Said from muscle spasms and inflammation against abdominal wall. Its freaking me out. When i had the scans last year i had bruises and in bad pain. Still normal. All organs normal size, smooth, etc.

Anyone with bruising?

Okay here is what is put:

Hi, I have had IBS for 35 years. It started out as IBS(D) when I was about 27/28. It was always on my left hand side to start with. It just run down the left hand side and wanted to come straight out! Then about 15 years later I started having the same feelings on my right side and this was when I found it very confusing. I paid to go and see a private doctor in Guildford (luckily my mother-in-law paid for me to go). But I got absolutely no where. He gave me homeopathic stuff that made my physically sick which had never happened generally before that. After a few years I decided to go back on my terms and so I made an appointment and when I got there he started his usually mantra. So I stopped him and said I just have one question to ask which was "why is this on the left side now, it doesn't make any sense to me". I said I wouldn't waste his time, I would still pay for the hour but just wanted my one question answered as he was supposed to be an expert on this. But he said I could ask my question at the end of the session if there was time, and insisted on doing his usual crap so I had to sit through another hour of it and at the end I did asked my question and his answer was "I DON'T KNOW".

I will also put a link to the post itself so you can see the rest of the conversations:

Hi Elmer I’ve had same symptoms as you for 18 months still no diagnosis . Have had scans , bloods , ct colonoscopy . I do have a gallbladder full of stones but when that acts up the pain is under the right ribs and shoulder blade . So I am thinking it’s ibs and something I’m eating , so I would like an answer to this too as I’m tearing my hair out with it x

Hope we all.get answers. I found that tramadol helped with pain.

[Hidden in reply to elmer69]

Does that have codeine in it as I don’t wanna get constipated ? 😖x
