What Causes Recurrent Abdominal Pain With Vomiting And Diarrhea?

I m 36 years old with this problem, at least once a week I get stomach pain, with a symptom like getting the flu On two occasions I had vomiting, basically clear vomiting about 6 months ago When I get these episodes I get anxiety. I m afraid I won t be able to get to a restroom either because of loose bowels or possible vomiting. I have been healthy up to about 10 months ago when I started with these problems I ve noticed these symptoms start if I have to many carbos or sugars. Once my parents insisted I go to the ER and the doctor ordered an MRI. It was negative One of my cousins has gluten allergy. What kind of tests or follow up should I get? I have medical and it s difficult to get a doctor who will see me or refer me to the right specialty Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your question, I am Dr Asanaghanwa Carlson. I think you might be suffering from an allergy to a particular type of Carbohydrate or sugar given the fact that your symptoms generally come after you take in these. I advise you try to identify what particular type of food, sugar or carbohydrate causes you to have the said symptoms and you avoid them. This is more comforted by the fact that you said you have a cousin with glutein allergy and these allergies are generally transmitted in some families. If this still does not work, I will advise you go and see your doctor so he examines you properly. Good luck
