Post abdominal pain

hi well i have posted before and for this similiar problem and i still have no results.
My doctor reckons that i have reflux but i beg to differ (just instinct i suppose) anyway he has put me on Zoton. Which doesnt make a difference since i have attacks on this medication.
Anyway my symptoms are I have this severe dull ache under my ribcage and it can last for up to 7 hours at a time. This does not happen all the time this severly but i can ave this uncomfortable feeling mildly more often than not and then i may have a real bad attack. I am suffering from alot of wind which i never use to and it is quite smelly now. Sometimes i may feel sick after eating. Over all i feel real yuck especially at the end of the day. I sometimes cant wait to got to bed because i feel my best when i wake up the morning.
i hope that someone has some insight into this as it is starting to get quite depressing not knowing what is wrong
katrina
Ps i have also been getting a little lower back pain lately

Hi rina - what tests has your doc run? Upper GI, endoscopy, abdominal or gall bladder ultrasounds, hida scans? I hope he's not making this diagnosis based on your verbal complaints of symptoms and just prescribing meds willy-nilly. You could have gall bladder malfunction, gastritis, ulcers, GERD, etc. If you get no answers from this doc, find another who's willing to look into your problems more. You shouldn't have to feel this way!

Good luck,
Katie G

Thanks Katie G for responding.
I have only had a gallbladder ultrasound and it came up negative.
I have also had blood tests for coeliacs disease as it is in my family and it came up neg too.
Thursday i had severe cramps on and off all day and i had really bad diahrea and i thought that is was a bug going around. then i felt not too bad yesturday tummy a bit achy and felt full of wind at least thats what i think it was and today i have the diahrea again and across my chest feels tight like my boobs are sore etc and i have that uncomfortabel feeling in my tummy again so i dont know if this is something completely different or the same prob getting worse.
anyway thanks for your reply

As I understand it, a gallbladder sonogram will only show if there's actual gallstones, not for non-gallstone gallbladder disease.
The CCK HIDA (pipida) nuclear medicine scan is what generally shows gallbladder disease even in the absense of gallstones.
From those symptoms, I'd say that test is definitely called for. If I were you, I'd ask your physician about it.

And I wound up at this forum because I suspect I have adhesions, because I was suspected of having gallbladder disease, but my CCK HIDA scan said my gallbladder is functioning normally.
But on an old message in this forum, I found a post by someone who said their CCK HIDA scan was normal, but when the surgeon went in, he found an inflamed gallbladder covered with "scar tissue".

Interestingly, that's what adhesions are - scar tissue.

You haven't had any past surgeries have you? The reason it's likely I have adhesions is that they're predominantly a problem from gyncological surgery, and I did have that.

The reason I felt the need to post here about that is that your symptoms sound an awful lot like my own.
My first family practice doctor kept telling me I had the flu, week after week.
I've now been in pain and sick every day, non-functional, since February (it's now the end of April).
That's not a bug!
