Question : Brief Answer:
Prognosis is as follows

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Welcome to 'Ask a Doctor' service. Thank you for your query. I understand your concern.

Well, you possibly have a sensitive stomach, likely that you must have been evaluated with basic tests like CBC, CRP, sonography of abdomen, and stool examination if symptoms are severe, worsening and associated with weight loss. It is then worthwhile getting an advanced test like a CT abdomen or an endoscopy after consulting your gastroenterologist.

In addition, try the following things and see how you feel. They will likely help you in the long run too.
1) Eat on time
2) Sleep adequately
3) Regular walk / exercise
4) Avoid excess tea, coffee, aerated drinks, and tobacco in any form
5) Avoid excess phone / laptop use
6) Try some yoga / relaxation exercise
7) Avoid excess oily and spicy food
8) If no relief, can speak to you doctor about low dose antispasmodics and anxiolytic; they may help you if he feels so

Hope this answers your query. Wish you a speedy recovery. Happy to help.

Regards

After three years of unbearable stomach pain. I ended up getting a HIDA scan showing Bilinary Diskensia. I had my Gallbladder removed 2 months ago. The first three weeks life was amazing. I feel the best I’ve felt in years. I ate like a pig with 0 side affects at all. Full energy, like it never happened. Now over the last 5 weeks it’s all back again. I have no problems with Diharea or Heartburn. I just have pain and loud stomach noises. I constantly feel like I’m poisoned. My energy is cut in half by 50%. My stomach aches constantly. Right in the middle of my stomach, feels like I drank battery acid the night prior. It can’t be food related because I ate the worst food of my life during the month I felt fine. Now I’m eating chicken, rice, oats, and water. I feel completely horrible. Every day and night. I take questram, tried PPI’s, tried benefiber, I take probiotics every night. The only thing that provides temporary relief is vigorous exercise. If I burn 500+ calories I feel good for about 2 hours. Then NO MATTER what I eat I get insane bouts of stomach churning. Followed immediately by the burn out stomach pain.
