Hi, my name is Danielle, i'm new to this board but a reg at PCOS. I have a question, for 2 weeks i've had pain about 1 inch above my belly button constantly, this never stops!!! I also have had diarrhea for the last 2 weeks. I can only eat about once a day and no matter what I eat I get the pain and diarrhea!!! Does anyone know what this could be??? I had a few people tell me it sounded like Gallstones and a few said Ulcer, but I have NO idea!!! :( I bought pepto-bismol last night and have been taking it almost every hour and it's no help. I am otherwise having no symtoms, no fever, nausea, etc... The only other symptom I have is that when the pain is REALLY bad it radiates up into my chest??????? THANKS in advance for any help!!!

Hi there,

I am new here too and have a tentative diagnosis of Crohn's, although it could be UC, we are still in the testing stages. But when I was really sick and didn't get anything from my GI doc but "it must be some kind of bug" I took myself to the hospital. The first time. The second time I was too sick to drive myself and my son took me. It sounds like you need an ER visit and if you can't take yourself there call 911.

They will do tests on you and figure out what is wrong before they let you go. At least that is what they did with me. The second time I got a really good GI doc who actually sat down and talked to me about it and did the proper tests and named what he thought I had. It is such a relief to finally know. If you are in constant pain and it is moving up and getting worse and not better, get to the hospital girl! Let us know how it goes when you get home. We will be here waiting to hear how you are.
