Hello and thanks for the query
I understand your concern and will try to address it
Since when she is suffering from this pain?
Does she have any associated vomiting or diarrhea?
Does she complain of urine complaints like burning in urine or increased frequency?
Does she complain of increased acidity?
Does taking food help in her pain?
Has any investigation like urine test,blood test and ultrasound abdomen done?
Does she become totally normal between her pains?
Please supply this information so that we can take our discussion further.
Thanks and waiting for your reply.
