I used to get stomach pains after I ate. This happened for like a year or so and finally it was discovered that I had a bad gallblader so I had surgery to remove it. I was pain free for about 6 months or so and then the pain started back up again in the same place (Right upper quadrant of the stomach). I had an upper GI scope done which showed gastritits (an irritated stomach lining) but no ulcers. I started taking a medication for that and it resolved. Pain remained. The doctors keep trying to push it off as all in my head, but the pain comes only after I eat and uaully it's after dinner. I had one set of elevated liver enzymes and a later Upper GI scope biopsy of the small intestine showed minor abnormalities. My question is... Does anyone have this pain that doctors can't figure out.. or more importantly, has anyone had this and the doctors did figure it out?? They thought maybe Celiac disease or Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction.. anyone with these that had these symptoms??

I don't have any problems like this and I am so sorry you are having problems. But the best thing I can say is for you to INSIST the doctors DO MORE. I watch diagnosis unknown on the discovery channel and it is one hour of people going thought such pain that doctors don't know what it is and all. They usually by the end of the show figure it out (of course it is months even years in real life time) and usually the moral (I guess you can call it that) is to tell the doctors this is YOUR body YOU know what is going on and SOMETHING isn't right. You should be hurting like this! Keep a journal of every time it happens, what you did (or ate) before the pain started and how long it lasted. If you have to try OTHER doctors, if one doesn't help you keep going to you find one that isn't saying "it is all in your head".
YOUR body and YOU will KNOW MORE then any DOCTOR on what is going on THEY just have to find out WHY!

I sometimes get stomachaches after dinner, not all the time. But if I take rolads or another acid stomach pill the pain goes away. I have Neurofibromatosis, which might be connected, but I'm not sure. I'm on blood pressure medication and a couple pains medication, so that probably has something to do with why I sometimes get stomachaches right after I eat dinner.

My mom had a lot of problems like u. Gallblader surgery too. Pain didn't go away, all kinds of tests. On her 3 or 4th cat scan on stomach they find small spurs in her intestines. Worth looking into, this was in 1999. Good Luck to you.

My mother, oldest sister, and grandmother have ALL had these symptoms, and still do.
It usually occurs after a heavy meal...usually a greasy meal like fried chicken or the like.
Your body processes differently when the gallbladder is removed, so you have to adjust your diet accordingly.
Hope this helps.

I think that might be your Pancreas causeing the pain...
It is a gland that is attached to your stomach--it produces enzymes to help digestion..(I think)Any way Pain there is
Not A GOOD THING. ..AS you can't live with out a pancreas..Hope you feel better soon.

Switch doctors, dear, if he refused to take your complaint seriously. Have yourself tested for colitis. Or get a specialist. Good luck.
