Hi doctor,
Every four or so months, l get these episodes of severe stomach pain that radiates from my belly button and to my lower stomach. These pains often last for four hours with it being constant. It feels like something is stabbing me internally and like my intestines are being ripped. With movement, the pain is the worst and causes my stomach to bloat to twice its size. The pain is so bad that l often get nauseous and cannot sleep until the pain has stopped. Even after the pain has gone my stomach is still tender. I have IBS (irritatable bowel syndrome) and the foods l eat that day are my usual foods so it is weird. l was born with duodenal atresia but was operated on. I have been having these episodes since I was 13 and never have been to the emergency as l was often too weak to say or move. I am currently on contraceptive pills.

I still feel bloated after taking antibiotics for H.pylori. Should I see a gynecologist?
Hello doctor,
I am going tomorrow to get retested for H.pylori. I have been off medicines for two weeks and still having a bloated, distended stomach, burping after eating or drinking, and some flatulence. I am wondering why I still have a bloated stomach? Maybe I should see obstetrics and gynecologist?

What is the reason for me to have upper right abdominal pain?
Hi doctor,
Please help me. What is the reason for me to have upper right abdominal pain? My pain got started before three days after drinking coffee around 2 pm. I felt it as an acidic stomach. I took Kremil S and got some relief from the pain. But after taking dinner, it became worse. Then I took Maalox. I vomited again and felt better. Yesterday, I was fine during breakfast and lunch. I had a recurrence of pain during the dinner. Today my breakfast was fine but I had some uneasiness in my stomach after lunch. I took Maalox again and still I have pain and indigestion. I do not want to vomit food again.

I suffer from stomach bloating and severe constipation with low platelets. Please help.
Hi doctor,
I am suffering from bloating since February and from March I am also experiencing severe constipation. I have tried all dietary change but none seem to be helping me here. For the past few days, I was also experiencing pain in the abdomen, sudden sensations in legs, and mild pain in testicles. So yesterday I went to see a local doctor and done the CBC test. All the parameters in reports were normal except platelets, which were 90K. Without any further tests to know the underlying cause of low platelets, the doctor wrote me some medication. I am really very worried about my health and want to know the root cause of all these problems. Please help.
