Sorry to sound so dramatic in the subject but I really am at the end of my rope! I have had severe and paralyzing abdominal pain for about a year now. I have been to multiple gp's, gi specialists, hospitals, clinics, etc. X-rays, cat scans, mri's, hyda scans, blood work galore, ultrasounds, scoping. I also had my gallbladder removed; it was a bit of an exploratory surgery and they also ended up taking out my appendix.

It's not a pancreatic, liver or kidney disorder. My intestines are physically functioning fine, no obstruction of signs of crohn's or peritonitis. Thought about a malabsorption (lactose, etc) but I haven't ingested anything but white rice basically, tried lactaid, beano, etc with absolutely no help! Not ulcers, acid-reflux, ibs, anything w/ reproduction. Can't find any pattern as for activities, time of day, food, eating in general, not eating etc as to what is associated with the pain. Not stress-related --believe it or not, i'm really not *that* stressed out, or at least I wasn't when this all started.

I've been on protonix, zelnorm, fiber supplements, prevacid, and a million and one supposed pain relievers. Nothing will work for pain except for iv morphine or dilaudid Sad

my doctor says he doesn't know what to do. The gi specialists don't know what to do. I think i've looked at every page on the web ...Please help me. I absolutely cannot live with this pain. I can't go to school, hold down a job, or function like a normal human being when this hits me 3-4 days and lasts up to an hour Crying or Very sad

It's not reallly localized until it gets reall bad. It starts on the right side as as it progresses I can point to just off-center, to the right of my belly button, extending up to my last floating rib.

If Any-one Got Sick Accidentally
:o if any-one has got sick after accidentally drinking bad/mouldy apple juice, please tell about your experience and what your doing about it… harmful bacterium/pathogens/e-coli

:? I have been infected with three forms of harmful bacterium/pathogens/e-coli: enterobacter cloacae, citrobacter freund, proleus vulgaris.

They have been and are, no-fun...!


:?: * I am led to believe that these 3 harmful bacterium (above) are natural to the human intestines; I am uncertain of this fact. Would anyone have any main street medicine quote (s) to support that these harmful bacterium/pathogens are not natural to the human intestinal tract/body..?


:( my health problems all started (febuary/04) soon after accidentally drinking mouldy apple juice. 3 weeks later I lost 35 pounds, it become very painful to breath, my skin face-arms- torso & my legs turned (completely) a yellow/green color, mental fuzziness, a constant sweat musty odour to my breath accompanied by a persistent toxic cough, back of tongue hart a lot & it was swollen all the time – I would slur when talking, sever burning/stinging all through my intestinal tract, mostly constipation, food came out the same way it when in, my skin would just tare open at the slightest touch, urine turned very dark & had a scanty odour, no energy, and for the first year I slept about 13 hours a-day.


:) i’ve since gained my weight back (with great difficulty), but it can still fluctuate 5 to 10 lbs over a day or two. My symptoms are now not as bad, but still persist to be a daily problem… I think? I am getting better…

:?: if any-one else has had, or is having a similar experience after getting bad/mouldy apple juice, I would like to (if you don’t mind) know about your experience and what your doing about it…

:idea: * if anyone is knowledgeable or has had any luck on how to kill these harmful bacterium/pathogens, it would totally be appreciated…

enterobacter cloacae, citrobacter freund, proleus vulgaris

thank you all: sincerely dave / david

Dehydration ?
Dehydration could be the culprit. It was with me and it sounds like you've tried everything else. Now I drink 1 pint of water (standard water bottle size) three times per day as if it were medicine. Has cleared up what was severe abdominal pain for me. Cheers.
