Guest guest Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Heidi, With an obstruction you need to check for bowel sounds. Most of the time there is no passing of gas or a BM although it can sometimes be sporadic before the actual narrowing or after the episode of narrowing. Sometimes an obstruction is accompanied by vomiting and nausea. It hurts. Really hurts. I want pain killers NOW type hurts. Hard to move around etc. An obstruction does not feel like the flu. It's debilitating. I would think it is a reaction to the probiotic although I have had reactions to probiotics trigger mini obstructions. If you are very worried you need to see a doc ASAP or go to the nearest ER. Jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Heidi There aren't too many things that can go wrong in the upper stomach. Hiatal hernia, heartburn, acid reflux, gastroparesis are some that come to mind immediately. Pain can be associated with these conditions, although usually it's the other symptoms that people notice before pain. But there could be referred pain from other organs nearby. Gallbladder problems trigger pain slightly to the right of the stomach; pancreas pain is slightly to the left. But one of the most critical of the nearby organs is the heart. I suggest that you head for the doctor or ER just to make sure there isn't something very serious developing. Kim M. SCD 5+ years > > My husband is experiencing pain high in his stomach and we are trying to determine if it is die off or possibly an obstruction. His stomach was upset earlier so he took 3 l-acidophilus pills. Since then he complained that he thought he might have the flu with nausea. He had a bm and can pass gas and right now doesn't have a fever but he does have that pain higher up that doesn't seem like the flu. Any thoughts?
