I have been having painful attacks in my stomach the pain goes down in my intestines and sometimes around my back. I had a sonagram done for gal bladder and they said all looked good. I feel like I ve been poisoned. This is the 4th attack in 5 weeks. I also find that i have to take sena kot to help move my bowels.

Hello
I appreciate your concern
This could be due to
Aerophagia (swallowing of air)
indigestion leading to excess gas formation
acid peptic disease like gastritis

Aerophagia can be related to smoking, alcohol consumption, ill fitting denture and carbonated drinks or use of more protein like pulses egg and meat

In my opinion you should rule out these conditions first, if it persists then you should consult a gastroenterologist for an endoscopy and enzymes supplements therapy if need be.

Avoid fatty fried spicy junk food or carbonated drinks
Have plenty of fluids orally including fruit juices
Avoid smoking and alcohol

Hope this helps you
follow up questions are most welcome
