Severe Stomach Pain for 3 Years - Need Help
Hey all, I have a friend who has been suffering for 3 years (increasingly worse as time goes on) from a severe stomach pain. He's at a point where he's losing hope. I am asking on behalf of him for any potential leads/ideas for what a solution or treatment could be. Thank you in advance.
1. Symptom:
Continuous contraction of stomach throughout the whole day. The stomach area is always hard and stiff making it uncomfortable. Occasional sharp pain throughout the right and bottom large intestine area (looking at the body from 3rd person perspective). Ongoing for three years.
2. Tests Performed:
- comprehensive examination
- Endoscope for Large Intestine and stomach
- Visits to Korean Medical Clinics
3. Test Results:
Minor inflammation in the stomach and intestine linings
4. Attempted Treatments (none led to improvement):
- Digestive Medicine
- Diets for gastrointestinal disorders
- Probiotic diet
- Korean 8 constitutional medicine
- Korean Herb Medicine
- Massage/ Exercises
- Some spiritual Treatment (Ancestral Liberation, Wish paper, Special Liberation, Condition)

Joshua, he might want to try to stay away from sugar, dairy and gluten for 2-3 weeks and see if that makes any difference.

Hi,
From TCM theory, it might be the cold and wind that is causing the intestinal contractions, then the pain. If the belly is cold to the touch, feeling hard and stiff, then try this home remedy that costs only a few dollars: make a cloth pouch large enough, or just an old T-shirt, to wrap up up to a pound of large grain rock salt or sea salt.
Pan fry (the traditional way) the loose salt grains, or microwave the pouch/T-shirt pack to a bearable temperature, lay it flat on the belly button area. Moving it around for an even warm up. Reheat and reuse. If heating helps, when leaving home for work, or at bedtime, apply a bean size Capsaicin Cream 0.025% into the inside of the belly button, use a bandaid to cover it. The heat would last for many hours. It also helps with pains too.
Rubbing the belly area with a full palm in a circular motion with hard presses, not just slide across the skin, keep changing directions might help with gas, bloating and bowels. As for the occasional sharp pain, I cannot think of any cause to it except, just a big speculation, he might have worms.
Hope it helps a bit. Best of luck to your friend.
