My girlfriend has been suffering from abdominal pain for over 12 years since a miscarriage she suffered with her ex husband. She has been to several doctors and they standard answer is "irritable bowel syndrome". However, this seems to be the only answer when the doctor doesn't know the answer. It only occurs after she eats. It doesn't seem to happen with specific foods either. She accepted it as the norm until this summer. She and I spent a lot of time together this summer and for the first time in 12 years, she didn't feel the pain. This time her heart started hurting. She went to the doctor, wore a heart monitor and, (wouldn't you know it), she didn't feel the pain when she wore the monitor. I have personally heard and felt her heart go off beat during one of these episodes. Well, now her heart is fine again but the stomach pains are back. I don't want to simply accept this as her life if a cure can be found. Does anyone have a clue what this could be? What should we do?
