A few weeks ago, I was dealing with quite a bit of constipation. I had already been taking fiber regularly to help bowel movements for my hemorrhoids and then my doctor also had me take Prilosec and probiotics. I had taken all of these separately before, but not all at once. Well, the constipation ultimately left (I think it was diet related), but it left something a bit worse behind.
In the last two weeks it HAS lessened, but the pain is still there. The pain localizes around the belly button, more often below and above and sometimes to the side now and again. When the pain does hit, it is SHARP and when it first started, it was definitely an 8/10 on the pain scale. I've had a hard time pinpointing what makes it better and what makes it worse, but I have stopped taking everything my doctor had me on in the hopes that it would help. I'm not sure if that's why the pain is less now, but it definitely hasn't gone away. I'm extremely worried that it's something far worse.
I have no idea if it's related, but I've also been dealing with a lot more acid reflux (something I had issues with before when I had H. Pylori earlier this year) as well as a strong heartbeat in my stomach when lying down at night. What's related and what's not, I don't know, but I'm freaking out that it is something worse with my intestines or some sort of cancer or what not.
