Over the past 3 weeks I have been having this stomach pain issue. It always occurs in the morning and sometimes when I am about to go to bed. In the morning when I wake up, I feel this crampy gassy feeling. When I always eat breakfast or foods, my stomach ALWAYS starts to hurt down in the intestinal region. With this pain, it always makes me want to use the restroom, and when I finish using the restroom, my stomach starts to feel better, but it has been going on now for 3 weeks...
In the past 3 weeks before this pain started I started eating these spicy kettled cooked jalapeno chips, but they weren't spicy at all, but they had paprika, and spice ingredients which in my opinion led to something called IBS? Also I started eating pizza which made the stomach pain much more worse... I really want to know what is causing this, and every now and then I get this palpitation feeling somewhere in my stomach, like it can be on the right side, left side, lower right side, lower left side, and so on.
I do have an appetite that has not gone away, but it's just the fact that when I eat, it makes me want to go to the restroom, and pain is there too when I use the restroom, really bad gassy, crampy, sharp pains...
I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux and anxiety issues/stress, in the past 3 years. I took Nexium which helped, but later on, my doctor gave me Protonix. I have NOT started taking any medicine whatsoever.
This is the 3rd week now. I am tired of feeling this pain, and I want to get back to normal, it is very emotional having to put up with this. I would love to receive an answer and diagnosis as soon as possible before I end up going to see a doctor.
