Ok so I have been to the doctor about this 2 months ago and was suggested a CT scan as he didnt know what was causing pain. Well shortly after this I found out I am now pregnant so cannot do a CT. I have a follow up with my doctor next week but am curious if anyone has any ideas in the meantime.
Pain started early November 2020, maybe a little earlier even. Hasn’t really gotten any worse, maybe a little more frequently. I get pain that feels like gnawing, twisting, burning/cramping feeling dead center in my stomach(right at and around belly button). At first.. I thought it felt like extreme hunger pains but eating didn’t always help. Pain isn’t severe but enough sometimes that I need to lay down. Also, it seems that when pain occurs and I am holding my 2 yr old that the pain worsens a little. I only started keeping a food diary Tuesday. so far it just seems so random when it happens. I never seen to wake up with it. Normally starts later after eaten. It doesn’t happen everytime I eat though. It’s not constant, some days are worse though. Some days it doesn’t hurt at all. I have no other symptoms.. no GI issues. Only things I have right now beside that are obvious pregnancy symptoms that started right when I got my positive test.
With work, life and pregnancy I just had been ignoring it but I’m ready to figure it out and not deal with it anymore. I have thought of gluten allergy or stomach ulcers.. nothing ever seems to match entirely though. I am otherwise healthy, 32 yrs old. Also, just to mention I had a colonoscopy done 2 yrs ago(for unrelated issue) and was clear. I hope that since it’s been 5 months and never worsened that it isn’t anything to serious. I know abdominal pain is so very vague and hard to find a cause for especially when it’s the only symptom. I am hoping maybe to get some ideas to ask doctor about or research myself. Any suggestions are welcome!!
