Hi Valerie. Have you found out what is causing your problem I have the same thing after eating starch. I have seen a doc and he said its not possibly IBS and have had my gal bladder removed and am still battling, Doc's only advise is to stop eating starch
to add to what bryn said warning about going gluten free BEfore doc,s test,.. I wont go back on gluten for the test, nope no way. but just so you know, the average time to get Doctors to find whats wrong with You is 10 YEARS,. thank goodness for internet which many doc,s hate!, I was about dead from all this,. 6ft tall 230 woman heavy all my life, to 6ft 114 pounds and dying,..it caused what they call sluggish gallbladder,.. means it wore My gallbladder out trying to defend my body,.. Hialeah hernia (thats at the base of the area next to the stomach muscle opening to the stomach,.. they blew me off yearssssssss ago saying I.B.S / spastic bowel/ etc. and it just goes on from there,.. I got the Hialeah hernia ,then told G.E.R.D from the throwing up,.. my bowels as others are doing block,.. if it cant move thru your system it trys to back wash up,.. aka burbing itself or it trys,.. lol i figured out that hicups that were conic for me were My guts trying to burp itself,..etc and attacks that sent me to the E.R over and over with pain like appendicitis ,. i figured out why i was having that pain as well,.. the junction at the large and small bowel,.. its not meant to bring things back up, and when the gut is suffering the what i call vapor locked guts, cause great pain,ithe vapor lock pulls back words on the junction,.. understand what im trying to say?... .. bloat= cant burp bowels, it has no where to go the stool keeps making gas which in a normal gut aids in moving the stool along as well,.. if a doctor ever told you not going to the bathroom for days on end is normal DONT believe it!!!!!! ive been gluten and prossessed food free for a year and a half now, and I GO EVERY DAY!!!! I had conic constipation with mine, others in my family had diareea type and constipation,.. I found some help for the gas and bloat BUT if your organs are not functioning properly its not going to just it go away but it will help move gas along,.. the doc,s hand out anti acids,.. ahhh hello the acid is there to break down food!,. the gallbladder sends its stuff out etc and onward,.. so im My mind and in reading,.. take away a a step in digestion and your going to make the rest of the system pick up where the stomach count not do,...its like a snow ball going down a hill,...to many doctors treat "symptoms" not the "aliment" and to add,.. docs have a tendancy to send you for a scan of the gallbladder to check for"gall stones,... " as i was too and got the okkEDookie,. HA frickers! it took a hida scan to see it,..i was i the E.R the night before the test,..after crying begging and asking my doctor to tell me HOW long ive got cause I need to TELL my KIDS im dying!!!!!!!........he coughed up the hida scan,.. grrrrr any how once again in horific pain i went to E,R they treated me like c**p and i was in soo much pain i could deal told My Mother lets get the fuk out of here,.. a nurse herad and ran over threatening cops arrest,.. i cryed and walked along to the door leaving while she followed me threatening,.. I said Your calling the police on me for leaving>?? the next morning i went for the hida scan the tech begged me to go to there E.,R oh no i wasnt too much pain couldnt fight anymore!,.. surgeon knew and had me going for surgery in two days. the E.R where i went the D.O.N called me I told her what happened,. she didnt try to say i misunderstood she told me she would make sure it didnt happen to others,.. thats good enough,..I also got the letter in the mail acknowledging what she had genuinely said over the phone. ive had more ass in nine doctors who were sarcastic,.. belligerent,..and down right IGNORANT with indifference! a nurse in florida ( E.R) said well your anarexic if you just ate youd be better,.. as she forgot to take the I.V out of My arm,.. (the ones that they put in that they use as a port,.. and i went out of there so upset i didnt think to LOL ask? them to take it out,.. I could go on with sooooo soo many storys,.. but in the end You have to take control for yourself and get informed,.. use search and search . no matter what words they will and wont use for this,.. and being sick it starts with what goes in the mouth and what You touch, the air your breath around pollutants,.( dont want to leave those out,.. firstly I dont care if they call it gluten,.. celiac or any other type were sick,.. the basic is its a immune reaction,.. from there it can depend on the weaknesses of Your family genes,.for me it was as i said for others it attacks in others and more ways,..

Wow, I've been suffering...and I mean suffering from these problems as well. I started cutting down on gluten/wheat 3 days ago. I couldn't say totally eliminating gluten/wheat in my diet as I am still trying (really hard) to figure out labels and things...so far, I still have the pain constantly. At what point did you start feeling the relief?
I was having severe stomach pain for months. Finally gave in and went to a gastro doctor. He did an endoscopy and colonoscopy. He said my stomach was in bad shape - gastritis. My stomach had red spots all over. I also had esophagitis.
I am taking Xanax for stomach spasms, as Levisin did nothing for me. I am taking Miralax to keep my system moving. I'm also on Carafate and Omeprazole.
My doctor said my issues were due to not having a gall bladder and bile dripping into my stomach causing irritation.
what was the reason did u find out i have the same thing and a blockage in my intestins was put in the hospital for a week
Curious if this got resolved, sounds exactly like me, and I have lost 80+ pounds. I have been going to the dr but nothing yet. Told I have diverticular disease but that, that is not what this is from. Help I feel weak and I still can barely eat anything at all!
Thanks Cisca
My sister and I use to get the pain up our backbone also. We discovered we were swallowing air when we ate. Nerves from the stomach area sometimes hurt in your back.The pain moving is the air bubble moving. Make sure to bite your food and not fill your mouth with a bunch of air trying to take too big of a bite. Also chew your food well. This gives you time to expel the small amount of air you intake with a normal bite when you breath.
I to have the pain in my upper abdomen, I feel hungry then after eating the pain in my upper abdomen is so bad it go's out through my back, and my stomach blows up like I'm 8 months pregnent, and it could last for hours or days, then the diarea starts and it gould last for a week for hours a day i am going back and forth to the bathroom, I just had a scope done to check my stomach and the DR diden't see anything.I hav gained 50 lbs I told my DR it could be celiac dease and he said you usually loose weight with celiac but he is checking for it just incase. I am 55 yrs old and have been dealing with this for years sick and tired of it I hope DR finds out what it is. But i will try glutin free for a month and see what happends. sorry for any (spelling mistakes) lol I hope you all find you diagnoses take care.
Please get checked for H-Pylori, it makes your stomach hurt and also makes you have major hunger pains..it has to stay fed!!
