Constant stomach pain. More after eating and passing stool. Endoscopy result normal. What is causing pain?
Patient: Hi, My wife has stomach pain in 5-cm above the navel button and 5-6 cm to the left side from the navel button since january 28. I feel constant pain in that area 24 x 7, but after eating something it gives more pain, and after passing stool it pain more, it pains even if I drink water. I have lost 8 Kg since January 28, 2012. I had Endoscopy last week but it was clear, no H pylori Infection, no Ulcer , they took Biopsy sample, i am awaiting forthe results to come.... Can Anyone of you please tell me whats wrong with my stomach Doctor: Hi girish, Thanks for writing in. Although your symptoms are classic of peptic ulcer disease, the fact that the endoscopy was normal , points against it. I would still recommend a trial of oral proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole for 2 weeks and see whether it helps. Please talk to your doctor about this.  also, I would like to rule out tuberculosis in your case as well. I would suggest that a MRI of the small and large intestine be done so that we can rule this out.  Hope this helps Regards
