I have been battling with severe stomach cramps (wrenching pains like getting every last drop out of a rag)and nausea for about 10 years now. I have had every kind of test and med known to man with absolutely no help. I am at my breaking point. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice. I have been going through living hell with my stomach and can not get through even a few minutes without some sort of symptom. Please help!

KevHave you been diagnosed with IBS? If not have you been given any other diagnosis?

Has anyone tried the usual medications for that.Antispasmodics or low dose antidepressants?

They just keep slapping me with the IBS label everytime a test comes back fine. I have been taking antispasm meds like crazy with no help. They have be on levbid, lexapro, donntal, and librax. These meds don't touch my severe cramps. I am a teacher and have missed more sick days then I have (I am being docked pay). already this morning I have had doubled over cramps with at least 10 trips to the bathroom (and its only 11:45). Luckily its Saturday. Its a battle every day to get to school without having to stop (and its only 5 minutes away). I am at my wits in and feel defeated. I can't deal with the painful doubled over cramps anymore. Any help?

I have been on every kind of antidepressant, antianexity, and antispasm med out there. None have helped me! I am currently on lexapro (antianexity), donntal, levbid, librax (antispasam meds).
