Stomach Pain and ER Visit

[dhrguru 1,238]

Saturday night I had a stomach ache that would not let up, it continued into Sunday. No nausea, no vomiting, diarrhea, just a really annoying ache/crampy feeling. Was able to eat normally, normal BM's. I went about my business and even did my 2.5 mile jog Sunday AM. I tried eating a yogurt Sunday afternoon and shortly thereafter I could barely stand up straight. Called my surgeon and he suggested I go to the ER since it was bugging me for so long. I went, had blood work and a CT scan-- everything was normal.

Doc wrote it off to menstrual cramps; but I know my body and know that I never get crippling cramps. (I have an IUD which makes my periods light-non-existent). I'm wondering if I'm suddenly becoming more sensitive to sugars. I haven't dumped on anything to this point. I've eaten that brand/flavor of yogurt before-- but this time I couldn't even get through the cup before my stomach began revolting. But no other symptoms that I've read about for dumping (sweaty, racing heart etc). An overall odd experience.

Well I'm glad I got confirmation everything is fine on the inside-- and if nothing else; I've got reason to be more vigilant with my sugar intake!

I have had a similiar experience twice before. I can pinpoint mine to when I have had too much dairy in one sitting (specifically ice cream). I do believe it might be the combo of sugar and fat for me.

It lasted 2 days and I was literally doubled over. I did not throw up nor did I get the diahrea. I was simply doubled over in pain. I took gas X hoping it would help but nothing really did.

Last night I had some serious cramps and was sure I needed to have a BM. But nothing. But while I was straining (sorry TMI) sitting there, I got a slimy feeling in my throat like I was going to hurl, but no go there too. It all went away after about twenty minutes.

Did you get that slimy feeling anytime?

Nope, no slimy feeling. (And I hope to *never* experience it!)

My surgeon is thinking more along the lines of having possibly developed an internal hernia. She said this type of pain that comes and goes is a signature symptom of one, but its the type of thing they have to *see in action* to diagnose.

Considering this has happened to me twice before (this time being the worst) I'm going to make a point to see the surgeon if/when it happens again. (Hopefully it'll cooperate and happen during business hours!...)
