Hi everyone

Just wanted to ask so I can clear my head a bit

Today I was laid down and out of nowhere I got these sudden constant sharp stabbing pains in the left side of my stomach and on my belly button

It was so awful and painful that I physically couldn't sit up

The only way that I could try to reduce the pain in any way was by tensing my stomach as hard as I could and, using a lot of energy, trying to move onto my side and curl up into a ball

I have never felt pain so extreme and when looking it up online it mentioned that this is the most common symptom of pancreatis along with nausea and diarrhea- both of which I've been experiencing for the past few days along with a little bit of a fever

When I looked on the NHS website it stated that the most common cause of pancreatis is gall stones

Now what's interesting about this is that a lot of people in my family have had to have their gall bladder removed due to complications and gall stones, with one of them being my mother's mum and then my father's mum died due to gall bladder cancer

But what I'm confused at is whether this really is something I should worry about? I suffer with IBS already and am used to a constant background stomach pain and bloating daily but I've never experience such a powerful constant pain that caused me to not be able to get up before and so localised as well so I'm not entirely whether this could just be my ibs? Also I'm only 21 so I don't know whether I should be expecting these kinds of issues or whether I should worry

Thank you

Please call your doctor's office and schedule an appointment. You may have PCOS or a sensitivity to gluten. Have the doctor test you for both issues. How are you feeling now?

I haven't been tested for PCOS no but I have for gluten sensitivity and they said I didn't have it

Meaning citizenship can not likely be passed on for Canada (if born in India) and the child would be Indian citizenship and passport. ....And yes this was from an Immigration Lawyer.

Thanks so much for lots of great info, sparkle fish! And here I was thinking I must be dehydrated from always feeling VERY thirsty... I didn't know that must be part of either pregnancy or all the meds in taking... Also, you make me wonder why some would do just vag and other both abdo and vag. Hmmm...
