Adult Colic ?!?!?!?!

[NorthernElf]

Grumble grumble...spent a few hours in emerg yesterday with intense stomach pain for no good reason - waves of pain & cramping up my right side. Emerg was busy but they managed to rule out bladder infection and blood work ruled out appendicities and other inflammatory issues like IBD (white blood cell count I'm guessing). Anyway, I was waiting for more tests to come back but I had to leave. I sat there for over 6 hours - two cardiac patients came in. Ok, I understand but there were other docs there - I think I was just forgotten about. I was very upset when I left - nothing to eat since before I went there, wasn't sure I should. I had to leave - told the nurse my kids were home alone & I had to go - that I had been waiting since 11. Very upset...& no answers.

Anyway - the doc mentioned colic and waiting for tests for other things but I don't know what those were. I will go into my GP here Monday if I can get an appointment to follow this up. In the meantime I will eat very light or fast/soups whatever. I am 99.9% sure I did not gluten myself & besides the symptoms are different. Anyone had something like this ? He was going to give me something to un-spastic my intestines but he never did. ?!@???

From what I have read it could be a reaction to food or.... ? I took work off today mostly because I would have started at 6:30 am and I didn't know what shape I would be in and it's hard to get coverage last minute. I'm kind of afraid to eat anything. ANY input would be greatly appreciated.

FWIW, this was really bad about a week ago for a day & a half and then eased up...then hit me hard again yesterday morning.

Even in babies, colic is a term for "it hurts and we don't know why". (Though, in babies, colic is often a reflux issue or food issue.)

Have you tried an elimination diet yet?
