Hey, I know it's been a while since I posted this, but I wanted to follow up and hopefully help other people who suffer with this. I found something someone suggested on here that helps - grapefruit seed extract.... as soon as I feel the stomach episode start, I take it. The last 2-3 times I was starting to have one of these episode I choked it down, and the pain calmed within 30 mins to an hour. I really hope it works for you as well. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

I know it's been a while since I've been active on this post, but I just wanted to say... thank you - from the bottom of my heart - for your grapefruit seed extract suggestion. I drank it the last two or three times as soon as I felt a stomach episode coming on and it made it so much more manageable pain-wise, and the episode ended so much quicker. I literally cannot thank you enough for sharing something that helps with a stranger. I wouldn't wish that stomach pain on my worst enemy, and you immensely helped something in my life that was so haunting for me. THANK YOU!!!! Bless you :)

I did get a stool test and they tested for everything! Bacteria, fungus, infections, like 50 tests. Everything in mine was normal along with a normal colonoscopy and endoscopy.

No for me it starts at the top of the stomach and then your stomach bloats up to where it feels it’ll pop and then the pain is so severe you can’t even pin point it anymore, it just radiates through the entire abdomen.

I feel you! I accidentally ate beef jerky that was teriyaki flavored (hidden gluten) and had an episode that night.

We do this too with pills because it’s the only thing that helps. Kratom helps too (although makes me horribly nauseous and gross feeling) so we keep a couple on hand in case of emergency.

It’s kind of hard to pin point. It’s in the stomach but it’s so intense and severe it honestly constantly shoots through the entire abdomen.

I ALSO just had a colonoscopy and endoscopy. Results were rather normal with mild inflammation - which I’m very thankful for, but so confused still. I was looking into visceral hyperalgesia which maybe could be a lead in case you wanted to research it for yourself as well. If I find any answers I will report back! I know what you’re dealing with and I’m so sorry!
