| Any thoughts? So much pain! :( So I am going to call my doctor and try to get in for an appt today. But while I'm waiting I thought I'd ask you guys/girls! Yesterday afternoon I started feeling really yucky. I started getting heartburn and abdominal pains. I made it through work, went home and it goes worse. I took 3 tums and laid down and ended up not getting up all night. I was in so much pain and I didn't eat anything since noon yesterday. However I had 2 string cheese sticks yesterday. I suspect that I'm mildly lactose intolerant but never had a problem with the string cheese, although I never ate 2 in one day. I felt like I was going to throw up pretty much all afternoon and evening yesterday too. I was getting the chills (goosebumps) with every flash of 'pain' in my stomache. I am also suspecting that I might have a UTI. So I fell asleep around 830pm on the couch and around 1015pm I got up and went to bed, still in severe pain. Oh yeah, took 3 more tums. I fell asleep and slept through the night, but did get up 3x during the night. This morning though, my abdomen is very tender, almost like I did 3,000 crunches and I'm still in pain. No more heartburn but I haven't eaten until a 1/2 a banana 10 mins ago. I never go to the doctors but I think that with this pain STILL here I should go. Anyone lactose intolerant and get symptoms like this? Any advice?

| I am sorry you are in so much pain. Definitely get to the doctor. I wouldn't have any idea what you are going through, but it kind of sounds like a gall bladder attack, but I really don't know. Keep us updated......and hope you get to feeling better soon.

| Hello, You should definitely go to the doctor. I have IBS and diverticulosis. I didnt read where the pain in your abdomen is? When I have a bout of diverticulitis, it starts in the lower left hand abdomen. A very tender area and then radiates to the entire stomach. THe pain is excruciating. YOu can barely get out of bed. You chill and many times have a fever. It can be a dangerous condition because your colon is full of infection and can rupture leading to sepsis. I dont know if thats what you have but it sounds pretty sure you have an infection and it needs taken care of. |

| Lactose Intolerance will cause you to feel bloated, gassy, stomach pain, but not intense. I doubt that is what you are experiencing. You should get to the MD today if you are still not feeling well in the abdominal area. Dr Steve, your Internet MD |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I agree w/ Dr. Steve, your Internet MD. Abdominal pain can signify something quite serious. Please call your primary doc. This could be appendicitis, pancreatitis, gall bladder, or something else. If you can, take your temp before you call so you can provide that info. I hope you feel better and please keep us posted .

I had gallstones and it sounds a lot like my symptoms. One of my co-workers has bouts with diverticulitus and it could be that also. I would see a Dr for sure. It could be any number of things, pain that severe shouldn't be ignored. Sending get well wishes to you.

| I have an appt at 1030 to see my PCP. All I told them was I had severe abdominal pain. I have taken tums and rolaids and have had only slight relief. My boss thinks maybe an ulcer.

| Could be an ulcer in the bowel or stomach, abcess, infection, or a hot Gallbladder. Forget the rolaids and tums until you see the MD. I have ruled out Vasculitis and Encelpalitis. |

| I"m sorry your feeling so sick. It could be several things, from bad food to ulcer or gallbladder. Maybe the string cheese was bad! Seeing the doctor is the best thing. You could drive yourself nut's trying to figure this out. Let us know what the doc say's. Good luck, hope it's something that can be fixed with meds. |

| I'm lactose intolerant and I get severe stomach cramps, and the most horrible case of the runs(sorry). If it really gets bad like I drink of chocolate milk I'm in agony.

| Ok I'm back. My doctor did blood work and urine test, also is sending me for an ultrasound on thursday to make sure its not the gallbladder. However, she is already pretty sure it's not. She believe its the minocycline I take daily for my skin. Its causing esophagial burn (sp?) and it will get worse if I don't get off of it. Now I have to call my dermo to talk about options for my skin! aaarrrggggg this was working so well too! I am on prilosec for 14 days once a day, not supposed to have coffee! I can't go w/o coffee that long. WWAAHH!!! LOL But the pain should go away in a few days, yeah... ouch ... and no more minocycline.
