Suggest Remedy For Persistent Abdominal Pain With Profuse Sweating

Posted on Sat, 21 Nov 2015

Question: I have spent 4 years going through intense stomach pain. It starts with the feeling of having a bowel movement but nothing happens. Pain begins to increase until I'm sweating and feeling like I'm going to pass out. I eventually vomit yellow stuff and continue the cycle for anywhere from a few hours to days. It's debilitating. I've lost weight, don't want to eat and am about to quit my teaching job as a result. Nothing can be found. Had scopes 4 years ago but none since. I'm certain things have changed. I feel like I'm slowly dying.

Brief Answer:
Sounds like IBS

Detailed Answer:
In view of the new information the symptoms are suggestive of a possible IBS.
IBS is irritable bowel syndrome.
All tests come back normal.
The treatment consists of
1. amitryptiline
2. high fiber diet.
3. plenty of fluids
4. antibiotic called rifaximin.
I would suggest that you try the step 2 and 3 till you meet the gastroenterology specialist.
Consider discussing the possibility with the doctor.
