Normally, the muscles in the wall of the stomach contract in a coordinated way to move food through the stomach into the small intestine. The autonomic nervous system controls this muscular action. Diabetes can damage the autonomic nerves. This is called diabetic autonomic neuropathy. As a result, the stomach loses it's coordinated muscular activity and doesn't empty the stomach properly.
Symptoms can include pain, nausea, vomiting, heartburn and an early fullness when eating.
m not that surprised when my intestines are doing weird stuff like roughly shifting my food around, giving me either constipation or diarrhea, waking me up in the morning because I need to go to the bathroom...
But this evening I started having pain on the right side of my belly, a little higher than my bone but still pretty low. It wasn't as much pain as a feeling of something being blocked, like gas; kind of a pressure like when there's an air bubble in your throat but harder.
I dint think they treat for appendicitis. Although isnt appendicitis ridiculously painful? Mine is a cramping in my pelvis and alot of discomfort and bloating in my abdomen. Another 2lb gone overnight! A total of 16lb loss in 4 weeks!
m pretty sure I had the pain before I started working out, I generally try to make healthy food choices and I believe im in decent shape. Urine looks normal.
it just really freaks me out everytime it happens. I also have random sharp pains in my chest (on either left or right side of it), but those are even more rare and don't concern me as much.
any thoughts?
Hello. Recently I've been having a painful pelvic pain in my right side and food aversions. I just eat small things now because a big meal (which I can usually finish) makes me feel full! The last time I had sex was in May and my periods came regularly - June 10, July 15. I took four pregnancy tests and they came out negative. I don't think I'm pregnant, I think there's something wrong with me. This pain started Saturday. Maybe I'm sick, ovulating or appendicitis?
Appendicitis! Get her to a doctor! Please!
I have gained a significant amount of weight over the last few years after having surgery for a ruptured appendix. Prior to the appendicitis, i had lost 85 pounds and maintained the weight loss. Could the low cortisol and high thyroglobulin AB be related to the weight gain? The dr. is retesting the cortisol for a morning reading. Thank you.
I have a dull pain that started a week ago. I will expierence the pain for a whole day off and on then I won't feel it for days on end. It's in my upper right side under my ribs. I have an appointment this Wed but any help on what this could be would be great. Nothing in particular triggers the pain, food drink activity etc.
My MAJOR concern is appendicitis - as I know how important it is to get the appendix taken out before it bursts. Given that my pains are not concentrated in the right and not that intense, does it seem unlikely to ne appendicitis? Could appendix symptoms drag on this long (it's coming up for a week). The pain has got no worse and if anything seems to be improving. Also, would appendicitis symptoms usually go after eating a meal?
I'm extremely anxious and worried right now.

Pls consult a Gastroenterologist to run some test and find out why you have pain & nausea. Skip milk & spicy food for a few days, it might help.
It hurts to walk and I must sit down with great care, I have performed some of the tests for appendicitis such as lying supine with my right leg bent and pushing over to the left...this results in much pain. Having been an EMT for many years I understand this could be appendicitis, however, I am confused about the pain free lapses. I live in the middle of no where with poor hospitals about 2 and a half hours away.
As far as I know, the most apparent symptom of appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix) is a dull pain in the stomach on the right side, that moves to severe lower right abdominal pain.

The above website explains different symptoms that could accompany appendicitis.
When I had appendecitis I woke up in pain with a lot of abdominal pressure and was admitted for surgery that day. It felt like I was really constipated or something (sorry TMI), and was nauseous. It sounds like the pain you are having is more likely related to the pcos. I have had ovarian cysts in the past and it felt a lot like what you are describing. I'm not an expert, just my personal experience.
An appendix is usually on the right side of your stomach and you will usually run a high fever with appendicitis. However, if you are still concerned, you can call your doctor and ask to speak to a nurse.
now i am developing the same pain again after about 20 hours, so i want to ask can it be appendicitis even if ultrasound doesnt show it? one of my friend got operated last month, she was having the same pain but ultrasound didnt show anything even then she got operated n now is fine!
Now the next day my lower right stomach is pretty tender, nowhere else, just lower right side. Should I be worried about appendicitis? Could it be tender from extreme gas and bloating?
Thoughts?
A lot of different problems could be causing this, including gastritis, food allergies, and possible digestive system problems. If I were you, I would make an appointment with a GI doctor right away so you can have this problem taken care of.
Best of luck!
It could very well be the stomach flu
Other causes could be:
Food: such as you ate too much,
Getting checked for lactose intolerance may be a good idea,
Something that just normally upsets you e.g. Spicy foods,
Eating a food that's been around for a while and went bad.
Appendicitis
Stress
Tips to help you try and prevent this in the future:
Don't overeat,
Eat a good amount of fruits and vegetables,
Wash hands before eating,
Don't eat right before bedtime,
Get lots of sleep.
This past Sunday, I was sent home from the ER with a diagnosis of early appendicitis. I'd been suffering from a fever, lower/midline abdominal pain on my right side, and severe diarrhea for several days, and was told by my doctor to go to the ER to rule out appendicitis. Besides my signs/symptoms, the only abnormal finding was a slightly enlarged appendix in the ultrasound and CT.
s bothering you you may need to get it checked out. Are there any accompanying symptoms such as bowel issues, types of food you've eaten? I wouldn't necessarily rule out appendix issues either -
The symptoms of appendicitis can vary. It can be hard to diagnose appendicitis in young children, the elderly, and women of childbearing age.
The first symptom is often pain around your belly button. (See: Abdominal pain) The pain may be minor at first, but it becomes more sharp and severe.
Have you taken him to the doctors or ER? It could be anything as normal as Appendicitis to something far more serious. The symptoms are too vague. But starting somewhere would be helpful. The doctors could rule out appendicitis and go from there.
