Hi Everyone,
I'm hoping to find some answers out there.
My condition is currently undiagnosed.
For the past 1 1/2 years I have been experiencing abdominal pain nearly every night; it starts usually around midnight & lasts until around 5-6 am. The pain is almost always alleviated after the morning bowel movement and doesn't occur during the daytime. On a scale of 1-10, often times its a 6-7. I also have occassionally experienced pain throughout the whole torso region - from the esophagus down.
But most frequently in the small intestines & ileo sical valve areas.
I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy a few months back...the results showed some minor polyps (which were removed) & a few minor diverticulosis (or is it diverticulitis), and gastritis. The gastritis is rarely a problem these days & seems to be alleviated.
I have seen allopathic & alternative medical practicioners - accupuncture, chiropractic (NAET), had the Great Smokies CDSA test , Bio-Meridian test, and spent much $ on supplements. I have done 3 liver/gallbladder cleanses (including Dr. Schultz's).
The only relief I have really experienced was with a very simple diet of rice, rice cakes, beans & cooked veggies - no dairy, soy, citrus, wheat, tomatoes, animal products,sugar. I am currently starting to try the EatRight 4 Your BloodType Diet for Type B (which is challenging since I am a vegetarian) and have a plan to try Dr. D'adamo's supplemental recommendations.
The onset of my digestive problems occurred after an extremely stressful time and coincided with menopause.
If anyone can offer support, suggestions I would appreciate it so much.
Could Crohns pain occur only at night? Something I have not tried at colonics.
I know this all might sound neurotic, but this pain is very real.
Thank you for an opportunity to express my story.
