Hello.

My brief history:

One day, after 3 hours to eat in an Asian Restaurant, suddenly I felt a LOT of pain in my stomach, perhaps it sounds stupid but I want to tell you that since this moment the pain never resolved.

SInce then I have made several test:

Blood, orine, Gastroscopy , Colonoscopy, Helicobacter test, stool bacterial test

Every test have been ok, all normal.

But I still have a lot of pain and discomfort.

I have just visit my digestive doctor.

He told me that since all my test are ok, I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome post-infectious. The doctor says that IBS resolves by itself.

But I cannot believe that my symptoms has from IBS because I LIVE in a pain and discomfort, and IBS does not produce that.

So I am lost right now. I will continue searching for doctors and new test, because I know that I am not cured: the pain and discomfort is EXACTLY the same everyday.

Any clue?

Hey Miguel.I know a few people with IBS.I don't think their pain is as bad as yours; and it's not an everyday thing.

I'm not real knowledgeable on IBS but I think it can get where you don't want to leave home for fear of a flare up.

Miguel,I'm about to be completely honest with you.If my stomach was hurting really bad I would do what I had to to make it feel better.

There is a certain Herb that is known to help stomach problems.

Take care,
Rick

Do you still have your gallbladder? When I had problems with mine they couldn't figure out the cause of my pain and told me I had bowel spasms. It took them 4 years to figure out I had gallstones.

Hi there, sorry you are going through so much pain and so many tests. I hope for your sake they figure things out, being in constant pain just sucks.

Hey Seymour it just dawned on me to ask this. Where was this place you ate and what exactly did you eat?? Something in the back of my foggy old brain keeps coming back to a case I recall while in nursing school. Your pain and symptoms just keep ringing that bell for some reason. This girl was finally diagnosed with some strange rare parasite that had invaded her digestive track via food she ate while out of the country. The Infection Disease Dr is the one who finally figured it out and she had been through every test,scan,lab that existed and all normal until they knew what they were looking for.

Thank you very much for your answer. I ate in an asian food restaurant in spain: wok restaurant:

I usually ate too much (before all this): I ate two chicken steak, two pork hot dog, two beef steaks they cooked with grilled, two beers and one cake. Do you remember the name of the doctor that treated this girl?, or the name of the parasite or something? perhaps I can give references to my doctors here in Spain.

Seymour,

Consider getting a referral to an Infectious Disease Specialist.....ask your physician. Maybe you don't even need a referral. That would be good place to look to see if you may have contracted parasites, as Vickie brought up.

(I hadn't even thought of that, but yes,....that's definitely a possibility)!

I know that my doctor thinks that it is all mental.I am desperate. I know that tomorrow I will get up with a lot of discomfort and diarrhea (like every day)

I want to ask to my doctor to prescribe me metronidazol for my probably intestinal infection, what do you think?.
