Sorry to hear about your mom. She should be seeing a gastroenterologist. Have her ask the GI doctor about a motility test where it is timed how long it takes food entering the stomach to leave, and how long it takes for food to travel the intestines. There are certainly other considerations, such as tests for ulcers, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), and diet.

Hi... I am soo glad I found this website! My name is Renee and Im from PA... As I speak my Mom is in the hospital with stomach problems, Early Friday morning she went into the ER with severe cramping and throwing up. Many tests were done but nothing is showing up on them. Her one doctor told her he only found adhesions on the cat scan of the abdomen. He said this could be the problem, it seems every couple of years this happens to my mom where she has to be admitted to the hospital. One Dr. is telling her it may be viral, the other is saying adhesions. She had surgery five years ago for a kidney; and a year later these pains started. My question is and I hope someone can maybe answer this is, does it take awhile to heal after you have a so called attack? These past few days during the day my mom is fine, after she eats and it is toward the evening she gets diarreah and that her stomach hurts a bit again it like cramps up. They give her pain medication for it then its like during the day shes fine again. So, again..would something like this take time to heal? I hope someone can answer for me, I would appreciate it...Thank you so much and for reading my post!!
