Q: Stomach Emptying Pain & Diarrhea
asked by: birdtrick on October 3rd, 2007

Just last week I started having bouts of pain directly center just below the bottom of my ribcage. They are always the same - they last about 15 minutes, feels like constipation, and it's a deep aching pain, not a sharp pain. More like the feeling after being hit in the gut. It happens 1-2 hours after eating, unless the meal is heavy, or with beer, then it happens pretty quickly. Obviously I have cut out the alcohol and limited the types of foods, but I still consistently have a minimum 5 minute "episode" as food passes through this area. I also get at least one in the middle of the night. Additionally, I have had diarrhea since day 1 and that hasn't changed.

???

Thanks for any help.
