What Is The Severe Stomach Pain Above The Belly Button?
I'm 18 years old, 100 pounds, and 5'0. I've had a lot of stomach problems for the past 6 months, only to discover that I'm allergic to soy and also have acid reflux. I can usually manage that, but now there's a new pain-my stomach hurts in an almost horizontal line, about an inch above my belly button. The pain is a dull, crampy feeling. I've had constipation/diarrhea for the past three days now, but this pain appears to be new. Do you know what it could be?

Hi.
You have described the new pain which is an inch above the belly button and is dull crampy feeling and associated with constipation/ diarrhea. This is classically the site of the transverse colon. This new pain is due to transverse colitis die to an infection.
I would advise you to take an antibiotic and metronidazole along with antispasmodic medicines for 5 days along with your regular medicines for reflux.
You would be fine.
