i have had another attack. started on the 14th after eating at a german restaurant. i have severe epigastric pain on the right side, but if you look at me, then it would be left side, i guess. it radiates from my stomach around to the back. have horrible nausea and can't eat. eating triggers stomach pain. also have soft like stools with lots of yellow mucous. bp is up but heart rate is down. headache. i have some lower abdominal pain but not much.i just don't know if this is ibs or not. i would not think the stomach and up under your breasts is ibs. oh yes, i have a bad taste in my mouth and belch and pass a lot of gas, which i very seldom do. lots of gas...also my throat feels like it's closing up sometimes and i feel like i can't breathe. i feel shaky and weak, probably from not eating. i've lost 7 pounds since then. i'm hungry but afraid to eat.the last gastro i saw and i've seen numerous, said "oh your fat, fifty, and female"...oh yeah, that helps. another one said "you just want attention". another one said ibs...another said gerd....i've had every tests imaginable. upper, lower bi, colonscopy (diverticulosis), mri, ct scans, mrcp, everything normal. bloodwork,urine, normal.i'm at wits end. can't live like this. anybody present with this pain between your ribs and around to the back?

Sounds like Gall Bladder to me. You may have a poor functioning one.... ask for a HIDA Scan:http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hida-scan/MY00320

Believe it or not, you can still get gallstones without a gall bladder. I know, I've been their. They had to scope out my upper GI and remove it.

In my opinion.... it could be a gall bladder thing or inability to digest....But check H Pylori.... do it asap.... its a blood test..... its easy.... if it comes back positive, take the antibiotic for it and erradicate it...I had h pylori and had headaches, stomach pain made worse by eating, and literally like my stomach was in a vice grip.... its a very common bug and it literally feels like an ulcer. So, get the test, get treated, move on. The treatment will make it worse for a few weeks, but it will heal and feel SO much better.Cheers,tim

I think you have what I have, which is a combination of gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying) and c-IBS. The gastroparesis is caused by anti-bodies against GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone)that are produced in patients suffering from gastroparesis and IBS in which male estrogen increase induces gastroparesis. I have developed a procedure in which increased negative feedback of Testosterone decreases estrogen, that leads to increased pyloric sphincter opening and less gastroparesis. Anybody want to try the procedure? If the procedure would work on females, it would be during ovulation. Pituitary hormones were concentrated in venous blood from the cavernous sinus. After infusion to venous blood of progesterone, GnRH levels diminished, (thus treating Gastroparesis). In my opinion, the lack of negative feedback of testosterone induces the muscular pumping of venous blood which is felt in the upper back to achive an "Omospinal" flow to the VVS (vertebral venous system) and to the pituitary, to induce a reduction of estrogen and increase stomach emptying. I find that when I use the Gastroparesis procedure, that my bowels empty after the end of the procedure ( which is used 1 hour after every meal). Therefore, I would suggest that IBS is a pan-enteric disorder that once the stomach empties, involves emptying of the bowels by the gastro-colonic reflex. The emptying procedure involves drinking coffee, and rocking (to activate the inner ear and the vestibular nucleus), and also using a cervical traction device to set off trigger points in the neck nerves that project to the mid-brain. If your are into biomedical science, ask me for my "reverse engineering analysis." The good thing about the "emptying procedure" is that it doesn't involve taking any drugs with side effects. Even before I empty my bowels from the procedure, the coffee going down goes out by urination in about a minute or two.
