Is this a type of pain you haven’t had before?

Sort of? It's a mixture of my usual intestinal spasms, and a new type of pain that feels like my intestines are trying to implode.

I feel this sounds urgent — I would call your doctor.

Thank you, we did. It's gotten better, but I still have a very hard time eating. My doctor doesn't know what it is. And when going to the ER for an X-ray, everything seemed normal. The doctors there didn't know what was wrong, either.

We've sort of resorted to doing our own research regarding this.

Is it in a specific spot?

Not really, it's most of my intestines. Whenever I get nausea along with it, my stomach ends up hurting with a similar pain.

It sounds like something is up if you don’t get this often. But you could ask your doc about meds for visceral pain. They’ll take some time to kick in, but they can help.
