It would get to the point where I would get fatigued and dizzy from the pain. I ended up going to urgent care and they said it was probably an ovarian cyst. I was 17 at the time and it freaked me out. I had to go to a ob-gyn but since I had never been before I had to wait 2 months for an appointment. I had to deal with the pain and everything! It was awful!! When I finally had my appointment, the doctor said she thought I might have been lactose intolerant (she knew because she had it), so I gave up all dairy for 2 weeks to test it out, and I had felt better than I had in such a long time! It's weird how something so simple can cause so much pain, and doctors don't even think of it. I'm glad you're daughters okay now. I know the pain and fear that being lactose intolerant caused before I knew I had it. God Bless <3 I had a ton of pain in my lower stomach 2 years ago.

None of the drs. in the clinic saw anything strange, but the radiologist said she had an enlarged pulminary artery. My dr. said it was nothing to worry about. I'm thinking, "Enlarged pulminary artery is not normal in a 17 year old." I requested an echocardiogram. It came back perfectly normal. I asked my doctor, "What about the enlarged artery?" He said, "I don't think she has one." Well, praise the Lord for that, but that left me with a $750 dollar echo bill I wouldn't have requested if the radiologist hadn't said she had an enlarged artery. I asked if I could send the bill to the radiologist. My dr. said he didn't think so. Oh, well. Perhaps she did have that and God healed it. I'd rather think that than I wasted money. :-) Be blessed!

In fact the last thing the specialist suggested was that we put her on a mild relaxer to help her tummy not have so many spasms. Thankfully I tried the Lactaid before we filled the prescript for relaxers. <strong>@ M@: </strong>Thanks so much for mentioning Celiac Disease. This was one of the very first tests that was done because her symptoms seemed to be so similiar. She tested negative. <strong>@ Denise: </strong>Amen! Thank you for praising with me. @ Drewe Llyn: The really frustrating thing is that I ASKED for them to check for lactose intolerance at our first appointment with the specialist … grrrr!

It's just a gluten intolerance, but it kills the villi in your intestines, which are where the lactose receptors live. Not trying to freak you out, but it's a simple blood test to see, and the remedy is just no bread/pasta/anything with gluten in it.
