I have been suffering from severe stomach pain that attacks me apx 9 times per year. I got it as a child and them it stopped around the age of 18 but then returned with avengence at the age of around 25.


It starts of very mild and comes and goes every 1/2 hour or so but eventually builds up to a constant pain. It is based in my upper stomach, above my belly button but under my chest.

I get alot of wind that makes be burp and as the pain gets stonger and stronger I start to be sick. This can go on for aroud 12 hours or so. The pain for the last few hours is always severe and after I cannot be sick anymore I still reach and bring up acid and bile.

The pain is so severe its almost as if my body shuts down and I just have to go to bed. I also sometimes get pain in my lower back near my kidneys.


I have been to the doctors several times and have been reffered for several tests.


I have had an endoscopy which revealed a hiatus hernia, but I do not believe that could cause such severe reoccurring symtoms as these.


I have has ultrasound for gaulstones, but nothing showed.


I had another endoscopy which revealed a pyloris bacteria and took a triple course of antibiotics. This solved the problem for a few months, but it still came back again.


Sometimes I get struck down everyother week, and other times once in 3 months.

I have monitored food that I eat, but there does not appear to be any connections.


I am due to go back to my gp again as I am still getting these attacks.


Can anyone help me?
