Stomach aches - Desperate?

Hello.



When I turned about 4 years old, I approached my mother and said, mommy my stomach hurts. At the time it ment little to nothing, but it continued. It fluxuated, good to bad. Near the end of grade 6 (age 11) I fell into deep depression, which continued to about half way threw grade 7(age 12) Once I got over the depression, the stomach aches vanished. The mystery seems solved but, it gets more interesting.



I was pain free all the way into high school, I had gained 30 pounds, and was now actually over weight. In grade 9 (Age 14) I was on exam break with a terrible head cold. The head cold persisted for weeks, and I was extremely weak from it. One morning I woke up, struggled out of bed, took a shower, went upstairs, took a bite of pizza my mother just baked. And it started all over again... Worse than ever. It felt like my stomach was going to explode. I figured I must have the flew so I sat in agony with a barf bucket. But never barfed. I was finally hungry after about 14 hours of pain, so I made a sandwhich but the pain continued. I lost 30 pounds and was now under weight and text book - very ill. I jumped around hospitals, and doctors, and no one could explain it, and once again I have become a hostage to my pain. Learning to live with it, swallow my pain and pretend like nothings wrong. But why do I have to pretend? I am 17. I need answer.



The pain varies -



-Stinging ache in the entire stomach.

-Pain in the stomach

-You know that feeling when you think about food you wanna barf. That kind of pain.



Causes



-Causes are usually random, and have no pattern.

-Often get extreme stinging ache from honey

-extreme pain from coffee

I think you are suffering from an peptic ulcer....the coffee is a stimulant and will aggravate an ulcer.....pain will come and go, no particular pattern, loads of nausea and sometimes worse in the morning as the stomach is empty and alot of acid is present....and sometime the pain will wake you up through the night.

If it is an ulcer, there are medications that will help.

I hope you can find the answer....seek an Gastroenterologist for further testing, they treat all stomach ailments.Stomach aches - Desperate?
I actually have a very similar problem. Every doctor i went to told me nothing was wrong. Its called abdominal migranes. My mom overheard a doctor taling about it in a hospital. it took years for me to find out the problem So I went to my doctor he looked up the disease agreed with me and started a treatment for migranes. I would go days without eating just doubled over in pain. not being able to throw up because i hadn't eaten. It usually starts at an early age. So Tell your doctor, i am almost positive that you have the same problem. After i started on the medication the problem has completly stopped
