I hope someone reads this and tells me if they experienced anything like this.. I’ve had several episodes over 6-8 years. One I had finished eating and I got pain on my left top side of my abdomen and it was extreme I went to the restroom pooped but the pain was so bad I felt I was going to faint I hurried up and wiped pulled my pants up and it just got worse I started sweating cold and fell to the floor. I just layed there in excruciating pain sweating cold feeling I couldn’t breath waiting for the pain to pass. The pain has come and gone over the years and sometimes it hurts as the food goes in my stomach or minutes after eating. I’ve been to the hospital but they didn’t find anything so all this years I’ve thought I had a intestinal issue or something. Well my pain now doesn’t go away and now I have weeks where I eat and it hurts or I’m so bloated I can’t even eat, my stomach is almost always bloated. I poop right after I eat, soft kind of like diarrhea it’s a yellow dark like mustard and there is an oily residue in toilet, I have massive migraines which I take Emagility injections for. I have no energy I literally feel like I’m dying I got the doctor to prescribe me phenthermine which gives me some energy to do daily things and go to work. The one symptom I don’t have is loosing weight, I haven’t lost weight. I told the doctor all my symptoms and he said he doesn’t think it’s my pancreas but an infection in my intestine and gave me antibiotics. I made him do blood work and tell me my pancreas is ok. Idk if I should go see a different doctor I’m scared I might have something else and I’m covering it up with all these other medicines. Did anyone have the symptoms I’m having? Should I go to another doctor? I have 5 kids I don’t want to leave them I want to fight for them. Please help. God bless you all
