Suggest Remedy To Relieve Frequent Epigastric Cramping
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
my 19 y/o daughter has periodically had epigastric (upper abdominal) cramping/spasms that may last up to a week since she was 9 y/o. Last yr she had an EGD and complete blood work up (had elevated liver enzymes that are fine now). The GI doctor could not tell her what it was or how to alleviate the symptoms. Any suggestions?
