Each month, for about a year or more now, I experience severe stomach pain that induces nausea, and it is starting to concern me. It feels like a blunt kind of pain, and at times I think it’s gas or a need to use the bathroom for number two, not to be gross. I struggle with constipation and it often resolves itself in the form of painful diarrhea. These past two months, I noticed that this pain came the same day I tried new foods that did not particularly sit well with me. I think that may have something to do about it, but what about the other months? I just noticed today that I’m mid-cycle and ovaluating, which made me wonder if PMS has something to do with this? I never get these pains when I’m having my period or on the days surrounding it. I would appreciate input, as this is starting to overwhelm me.
