Constant stomach pain

Meeksworth

I get a lot of stomach pain, generally at the top of my stomach though it occurs at the bottom of the abdomen as well. Basically all over though the top of the stomach feels hard and bloated 90% of the time. 

In the past I've had bloods and tests and everything came back normal. So I can at least be assured there is nothing life threateningly wrong with me. My GP suggested it be IBS and mostly associated with anxiety as I've got generalised anxiety disorder and am somewhat anxious most of the time.

I get a lot of belching as well and often worry about an ulcer, I have most of the symptoms, trouble is I've had a lot of tests etc and I know that all the symptoms I have are associated with anxiety... But still I worry.

The link between GI disorders and autism is extensive annoying. It stops me getting on in life and it's depressing with it. I don't suppose the continuous sugary drinks I have helps but a lot of it comes down to highly sensitive pain as well.

I miss the times where I used to have no stomach issues whatsoever and now it's more trying to ease any discomfort and stay as calm as possible.

A constant battle. Is this something anyone else relates with and has experienced?

  • My sympathies , it's something that I continue to experience. I've cut down sugary drinks, and cut down a lot of food that I used to like.

    Hi James. I'm very sorry that this is something you have to live and deal with as well. Have you found cutting out certain foods and drinks helpful? I'm still trying to limit my intake of sugary drinks but this is actually a lot more difficult than I first anticipated it would be. But I'm intent on doing this so still doing my best to cut down and eventually hopefully drink water instead.

    I have also read about how helpful meditation is so this is something else I am going to consider doing and my GP is recommending antidepressants which I will also think about trying as well.

    I hope today has been a great day for you with little to no pain. Slight smile
