If the pain is in the middle of the abdomen (above the bellowbutton, sort of in between the lungs), and feels like a spasm or shar pain - take a large gulp of Gaviscon. It takes the pain away within 15min. I don't know why...perhaps because it acts as a mild antispasmodic. Alternatively, just keep some holistic antispasmodics in your bag/pocket/wallet and take one before you eat.
To prevent the bloating and general/lower abdominal pain, i take a capsule of peppermint essential oil every morning (or adding a few drops into luke warm water, then drinking it before going out for a meal). This has kept the pain at bay 99% of the time.
Hope it helps

My 21 year old daughter is having pains started on the 11th of may 2012, at around 8:00 pm, she was with friend and when they found her she was coiled on the floor with severe pain in middle of upper abdomen and lower chest area ( in between) she felt gassy and bloated too, she did have her period the same day but she gets cramps but they are normally on the bottom of lower abdomen.
She said it was not her normal period pains the girls gave her panadol rapid and 4 hours in pain it vanished, only to come back at 6:00 am in the morning the next day 12th may 2012 . which she did not tell me.
30th May 2012, did not go to work as wan't feeling herself by 4:30 she had to call a friend to drive her to the doctors as she had the same pains again sever her friend found her coiled up in pain when she came to pick her up went to the doctors . doctor asked her to go to emergency after been there till 11:00 pm they called us in the pain would come and go but she was feeling really bloated, gassy and gets hungry too, nauseated feeling, but did not vomit, they did nothing after all that time just sent us home and said it is IBS type of pain, never ever had this type of pain ever before,looked at IBS symptoms they say it is constipation or mucosy stools, she goes to the toilet once every three days but this day she went about 5 times the stools were just soft but not diarohhea, nor mucosy, all she had was some left over fried rice that was bought from the chinese shop the day before. We ate it the previous day but not the next day except her,
I am worried sick she does not look too well, no temps, even though 36.9celcius normal,
Had pains on 31st May 2012 and took her back to the doctors, my GP who is running test for Celiac disease please for give spellings, Iron, lft, c reactive protein, cholestrol sugar, etc. I am so worried she is getting really upset and iratable too,
Tomoorw she has a MRI need to drink barium but she is also having a sore throat, and not sure if she should drink the stuff, she feels hugry, but gets bloated, could it be a bug,
She used to get stiches or pains on left side of abdomen for last two years that comes and goes did a scan and on ovaries and it was alright, she also passed blood in stools which was like a period bright red, around the same time december 30 2010, doctor did internal on rectum said it mst have been a tear, she said she was a bit constipated at the time and she had it once more during that time and said nothing since the doctor has not done a stool test as yet, she gave aher a buscopan injection which helped with the cramps, and gave gavascon to take for blotiness which she has been taking.
1st june 2012, went for fasting blood test today,and after that she had a up and go drink and complained of slight pain took two gavasons, and again she took another 2 after dinner as she had noodles with carrots, leaks silverside a couple of pieces with mixed with mince meat, and said that she felt bloati and gas.
Could these previous stich like symptoms since 2010 have aggevated the problem, I just dont know what to do. and feel so helpless any informaiton would help please
Mys sisters had gall bladder problems but their were like pains that started and went to the middle of the chest and to the back and the scan showed that they had gall stones, could gall stones cause , bloating and gas problems too, her pains were in middle of the upper abdoment and lower chest (in between) any help or answers please

Hi J
Are you still taking this and for how long have you been on it, gavascon,
What test did your doctor do for you how old were you when it started.
Are you alright, are there days that you dont have to use it at all. do you get the bloated, gasssy, nauseated feeling, as well as have your appetie increased since taking gavascon, pains crampy effect comes and goes,
I got my daughter activa yogurt which has good bacteria, to see if it will help. did you do an MRI. I pray to god that you are alright, did you coild in pain when it first happened.. Her pain too in betrween upper abdomen and lower chest area. Is it the same, how are your stolls she goes every 3 days, but when this strated on the 30th seh went about 5 times which is not her but no diarohhe, just smooth no mucos in stools either. Hoping the doctor would do a stool test.
Take care and good luck

The pain is gone most of the time.
The peppermint oil in warm water is really helpful for the bloating and general pain after eating - if possible try sit when you eat, and remain seated for at lest 20minutes after eating. Try not drink or eat things that are too hot or too cold. And don't eat fast.
If you can get some Gaviscon at the pharmacy, maybe give it a try- it is recommended for hearburn, but seems to act as a fast acting anti-stasmodic as well...just a tablespoon and within about 15min or so the cramping tends to stop. It also started when I was in highschool, but has been much better since I learnt how to handle it.
Also try a yoga class- i know it sounds bizarre, but they concentrate on breathing, and i've found that although breathing deeply (expanding the stomach) is painful, it helos tremendously...especially if you consciously take deep breaths when you are not in pain.
No MRI or xray or anything else has helped.
I hope your daughter is ok.
