lower stomach pain?

Question

for the past 4 months i been having on and off lower right side stomach pains. feels more like cramps. i feel the pain above it when i push in, but when i hold my hand there and push out i dont feel nothing. i went to the gastro and my physican. i was sent for an ultrasound which showed no appendicits and nothing wrong with my liver or gallbladder. i did this test back in dec. My gastro doctor thinks the lower right side pain could be from IBS. can someone please help me with good advice, bc im scared that this is appendicitis. im not in terrible pain, no bending over, no fever, no throwing up. just cramps in the lower right side. any advice would be very helpful. thanks

Hi ANthony

Most illness and disease is caused by toxins and waste in the colon that eventually get in the blood. #3 on the list here is the most important. Learn about colon cleansing and you will be on your way to better health.

Causes
IBS can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor diet and nutrition, food allergies, imbalanced levels of hydrochloric acid, impaired immunity, infections, lack of exercise, pharmaceutical drugs, and stress.


Quick Action Plan for IBS

1. Avoid all sugars, refined flour products, and carbohydrates, milk and dairy products, processed foods that contain preservatives and artificial sweeteners, alcohol, hydrogenated and trans-fatty oils, as well as foods that are common allergens.

2. Emphasize organic, fresh vegetables and non-citrus fruits, organic grains, as well as organic, free-range meats and poultry and wild-caught fish.

3. Drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day.
Cleansing (especially colon) and Detoxification therapy such as short fasts, elimination diets, and colonics.

4. Enteric-coated peppermint oil and aloe vera juice.

5. Soothing baths two to five nights a week, as well as alternating hot and cold water packs placed over the abdomen.

6. Use Probiotics and soil-based organisms.

7. Therapeutic juices include wheatgrass juice; cabbage, papaya, and carrot juice.

8. Stress reduction techniques, such as biofeedback, hypnosis, and meditation.

9. If you are a smoker, stop and refrain from taking aspirin or other NSAIDs.

10. Examine the possibility of withheld emotions as the cause of your symptoms and get support through emotional and physical expression, especially movement therapies such as NIA, Qi gong, Yoga or Total Integration Therapy to name a few options.

Best of health to you

Answer 2

IBS is sort of a cop out when it comes to diagnosis. It is so broad and includes so many different variations that it could be almost anything. The ultrasound is a very good test to see if your appendix is enlarged. If that came back negative then I wouldn't worry too much. You have to remember with appendicitis, you have many other symptoms like not wanting to eat, pain that travels in a particular pattern, and you would have abnormal blood tests. Also pushing on it usually doesn't hurt with appendicitis, only when the pressure is released. The real question would be with how your bowel movements are. It could be some constipation or spasms that can be controlled with medication. I would also think about kidney stones, intestinal herniation (though that would be obvious when felt), fibrosis, mesentary ischemia, or refered pain from a testicle.

Answer 3

My guess would be simply stress, normal body sensations (gas, acid, etc), IBS, or worse case scenario a hernia. Have you done heavy lifting of some sort recently? Give it some time, and if the condition still persists or becomes worse, return to the doctor.

Answer 4

could be a number of things best thing to do is find a 2nd oppion on it find another dr. to check you out
i had pains in the same area but didnot have any symptoms of anything thought it was my appendicits but came to find out i had kidney stones
it never hurts to get a 2nd or 3rd oppion someone is bound to find what the problem is

Answer 5

Talk to your doctor about the possiblity of gastristis. Cause thats how it started out for me. But I could be wrong.
