I know this post is older but I was reading everyone's stories and desperately need help. I am 38 year old female and 12 years post RNY and removal of gallbladder. I became lactose intolerant immediately after surgery but have had severe abdominal pains for years after drinking wine, alcohol, etc. I thought it was an ulcer but just had upper/lower scope done a few weeks ago; removed a couple polyps from colon but no big deal and no ulcer seen. I have been having bad headaches for years with chronic constipation, bloating, gas, vomiting and Dr after Dr to find no answers... A couple days ago I became the most ill of all!!! I started having the most severe stomach pain imaginable with extreme bloating, all of my joints hurt, face is swollen, I feel poisoned and feel like something just isn't right in the intestines... Me and my husband decided maybe it was gluten intolerance so we threw out everything that contained gluten and de-contaminated all dishes, etc. I have had low iron always but with the constipation already being so bad it makes it really hard to want to take iron supplement.... I have been sitting here all day, in tears at times from the pain, and just don't know what to do. Trying to get into Gastro Dr here is a month wait. Please help....

I did go to ER yesterday because the pain got unbearable. They did CT of abdomen, xray, lab work etc... And they didn't find anything wrong... It's so discouraging. The only thing they said was the pancreas enzymes was a but elevated but nothing to worry about at this point. They sent me home and I wake up this morning with same pain and with flu like symptoms. It's really discouraging to see a Dr that can't help

I just had the upper gi endoscopy and colonoscopy less than a month a ago and they didn't find a blockage... If I don't have any ease in pain by tomorrow I'm going to go on to ER
