So! Here's the deal. I don't have a job, so I use my dad's insurance. Since I'd been having problems with allergies and my lungs, I'd been going to the doctot quite a bit. I guess I racked up quite a bill, too, going through all those tests. My dad threw a fit. So I'm basically uninsured again. =)

However!! I've been having these really bad stomach cramps. It started off on the left side, in between my ribs and hip bone, and is now mostly lower stomach, below my belly button. If it's serious, I'm gunna tell my dad to shove it, I need medical attention. But if it's just gas, I'll deal. I just don't want my stomach to explode. lol

Any ideas?

Beth, we are not doctors here and we would be guessing, just like you are, what is going on with you and that can be dangerous.  Try Gas X.  If that doesn't work, it's most likely not gas.  If you are in pain, you nee d to see a doctor.  You body is telling you something.

If you do find that GasX helps, try eating healthy and see if that helps.

Good luck to you.

My rule of thumb is wait for a few weeks to see if it will go away. So many for our symptoms are fibro related and there is not much they can do to help. Mayybe it's some gas? Gas can get trapped up around your ribs and gut and into the abdomen. walking really does help a lot of our symptoms. For one thing if it was gas it helps move it, it gets your mind off the pain, and it usually relieves sore muscle pain. I hope you have a better day tomorrow. Let us know how things go in a few days.

Could it be constipation? May be TMI here, but I have stomach pains often...I've found out that I am allergic to wheat as well as dairy. That may have something to do with mine but I also have horrible problems w/constipation and those pains will nearly have me doubled over in pain :(

I get similar pains when I'm constipated too. However I would definately seek out a dr if these symptoms do not clear soon and certainly if they get worse!

Could be constipation, acid reflux, gall bladder, colon, instestines, appendix but you need to get a doctor.
to find out if it is acid reflux, simply take a spoon ful (not tablespoon) of baking soda and put it in 8ounces lukewarm water, stir well til disolved and drink
It doesnt taste good, but it makes you belch up all your acid if you have any.
