H. Pylori

[Lisa]

Some of you know, my daughter was married in June. She is not home, but local.

She has some stress issues recently and the tummy pains kicked in rapidly. A disturbing/ confrontational phone call triggered the pain almost immediately.

Emotional, nausea, feeling of wanting to vomit, jabbing stomach pains. Constipation is the final result, with like symptoms.

Can H. Pylori, lay around and kick in or when ever, gets activated and create havoc, when stress induced.

Her terrible abdominal pain is only present with anxiety and stress.

BTW: She had the blood test. I have no results nor the tests taken, but was told neg. ( I know a lot better now)

Sorry, Lisa, I don't know anything about H.pylori.

I can, however, bump this back to the top for you.

Maybe the stress and anxiety itself is causing the stomach pain. When I'm stressed, I have the same problem with the constipation. I think everyone's body is different. Most people when anxious get "D", but the opposite can happen as well.

Allot of times stress and anxiety can cause what is called spastic colon. I have had it for years along with celiac. At times the stomach cramps can feel very similar. to celiac. I only get it when something stressful happens, such as a car accident or problems with work etc.

Thanks for your replies.

She is getting an appointment with a GI. I will be going with her. Thanks to you all, I have learned so much. He'll earn his bill.

Hey Lisa,

I don't know much about H. pylori other than it is the cause of ulcers, and that I have been tested for it repeatedly and don't have it. That's about it.

It certainly could just be the stomach pain is due to her anxiety levels.....

Keep us updated, ok?
