Hi Lauren,
I am 15 years old going on 16(never have I had a baby, thank god) and I've been suffering form the same symptoms for 5 months now. I've gone to the regular doctor and they found that when they pressed right above where my stomach is and right around where my pancrease is I'd have pain but now where else in my abdomin. I was out of school for half of each of the last two school semesters I had and so I was stressed trying to catch up in my classes and that seemed to make it worse. I am currently taking two pills(Digestive Advantage & Prilosec)and they seem to have been working for a while but it's like whatever I have got used to it and they don't work as well anymore and my symtoms are even worse. I find myself taking more and more imodium every day and sometimes that doesn't even work. It's a crippiling sickenss that is terrible for me in the morning and at night, I'm losing sleep over it. I get this burning in my stomach as if it's filled to the breaking point with acid and the pain never completely goes away. I get extreme abdominal pains to the point were I'm hinched over trying to get them to go away, and the nausea is un bearable, I don't throw up but I need to lie down when it happens. I describe these times as like attacks. They come at the most random times and you know I'm having one because my face will pale, I'll hold my stomach and I'll hunch over. It's horrible. You're not alone Lauren, and although now doctor has given you the answer yet(or any of us who are suffering these symptoms) There is bound to be at least one doctor who knows the answer.

It is so nice to know I am not alone. I am 28 and live in the UK. Before having my first child last year I was reasonably healthy, I would get colds but I didnt have problems with my stomach except my mild endemetriosis. During pregnancy I didn't suffer from sickness at all. However since the birth of my little girl I have been very ill and no-one can find out why., It started with sickness and pain but as I was bleeding heavily the solution that the Dr's had was to fit a Mirena coil. For 2 months following the insertion of the Mirena I had occasional times of sickness and lack of appetite but then in January this year it became a constant problem. I always felt sick, I couldn't eat, especially in the evening and I was loosing weight rapidly. I have been on a mix of medications and had several blood tests, CT scan and Colonoscopy. I am now due to have a Endoscopy and stool test and I am still noty feeling well, I am suffering awful stomach cramps and my stools are still abnormal. I feel like my life is out of control, like I am no longer me. I can't look after my little girl like I want to and I am so scared now that I end up panicking, which makes me feel worse. I am under alot of stress but I don't feel like it so the Dr's think it is IBS and stress. I have struggled all my life to loose weight I am usually about 12 stone, however since having my daughter I have lost over 4 stone in 9 months and I know for me this isn't normal. I am so scared now and I pray for answers to make me better again. Knowing I am not the only one suffering helps me feel less isolated and lonely, especially as most people think I am being over dramatic about it all

My name is Gail and I am 47 and I have the same symptoms that you are experiencing I had these symptoms for many years. When I went to the doctors or the emergancy room noone could find anything wrong with me. Finally the doctor did some tests and they found that I have diviticulitis. I hope that this might help you out. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me anytime.
Thanks,
Gail
