What Causes Bad Bowel Movement Followed By Upper Stomach Spasms And Nausea?

I keep suffering from what I call attacks. My doctors and specialist have no idea what s wrong with me. I get these attacks that mostly follow a bad stomach ache and bad bowel then almost instantly I buckle over from pain like spasms in my upper stomach in center. Then I get nauseous and get chills and sweats. I dry heave for hours and hours and hours and the pain gets worse. I go to the hospital every time where they give me fluids, nadeau mess amd pain mess. Really just masking the prob until it goes away. Usually with the blink of an eye the symptoms disappear. And I m fine. It s debilitating and I m goin on average to hospital twice a month this month three times. The entire time I m belching and burping as I vomit and as I sit. I ve had these attacks for years but there getting worse and worse and worse. I need help bad as I can no longer eat and weigh 97lbs. I can t eat because that seems to be the trigger. Depending on what I eat the next day mostly is when I ll attack. I m afraid to eat because there s not one thing in particular that sets it off. I ve tried gluten and fruit diets and still attack I ve had colonoscopys and endoscopys and catscans and blood work. More tests that most people go through in a lifetime. The only thing they have ever found is a hyatel hernia which happens to be the same spot that hurts me(my upper stomach) when I m attacking. And they found an ulcer in 2013. They insist neither is the problem with me. I. Wasting away with weight as I can t eat afraid of these attacks.

Hi,

Modify lifestyle factors:
* Weight loose
* Avoid alchol, chocolate, citrus juice, peppermint, coffee, possibly onion family
* Avoid large meals
* Wait 3 hrs after meal before lying down
* Elevate head of bed by 8 inches
* Avoid bending, stooping
* Eat small, frequent meals, refrain from ingesting food [except liquid] within 3 hrs of bedtime
* Esomeprazole 40mg for 4 weeks not long term use. These things prevent to undergo surgeries
Join online art of living breath and meditation workshop [in many patients it seems to increase healing process].

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
