Can something that feels like abdominal discomfort actually be intestinal aches and pains? 7 weeks pregnant.

and could that get rid of the overall symptoms?

I’m looking what kind of a Doctor specialize in those things..thank you..

My health started deteriorating at about age 22, I am 28 now. I have seen many doctor’s and specialist and have been given different answers, none of which has helped.
I seem to have a very low immune system and catch everything I come in contact with. I’m washing my hands very often just to try and keep the germs at bay.
On top of this I have these flare up’s with my stomach every other week. I’m calling in a lot to work and I’m a single mother and have to be able to work.
These stomach issues start as a slight burn in my stomach, in the center about 2 inches below where my chest bone ends. This burning gets worse over the next 8-10 hours. Then the diarrhea starts. The diarrhea is severe with cramps. I also have stomach pain that doesn’t feel like cramps, it’s more of a stabbing pain. This pain is one of the worst things I’ve ever had to deal with. The stool comes out watery with yellow/green mucus. (When this particular problem started 5 yrs ago the doctor thought it had to do with getting my gallbladder taken out a year before. He said he thought my intestines were trying to realign and work without the gallbladder. He gave me this can of orange powder that I would mix with water and drink every morning. This made the stool more solid but I would still have the “episodes” just without the diarrhea. The medicine quit working about a year later.)
When these problems occur it almost completely disables me. I have to stay near a bathroom because the diarrhea is so severe. I’ve had many accidents from not being able to get to the bathroom quick enough. The cramps are very painful and I have nausea. Vomiting will present its self about 1/3 of the time these things happen. Every time my body aches like it does when you have the flu. When I’m not in the bathroom I sleep, I literally cannot keep my eyes open. They last for 2-7 days each time. I cannot get out of bed when these things hit me. I have gone to the E.R. several times because of the stomach pain.
I’m currently on Carafate with the doctor thinking I’m overproducing bile but I keep getting sick. I’m sick more often than well lately and it is really dragging me down.
When my health problems started my short term memory got bad but from what I can remember I have been given the following test or treatments;
•Had CT scan of my brain to check for tumors.
•Tested for Lupus, Thyroid checked, blood sugar levels, iron, checked for ulcers.
•Also had a CT scan of my stomach.
•I’ve had a colonoscopy, top & bottom.
•Stomach emptying study.
•I’ve been to an endocrinologist to check all my levels.
•I’ve been told I have a mild case of sleep apnea and have a CPAP machine that didn’t help with anything.
I’ve taken the following medications;
•For the stomach issues I’ve been on several different acid reducers, Carafate, Bentyl, Hyomax, Questrin and I have a supply of phenegrin on me at all times because of the nausea .
•I take Prozac for depression.
•I take Morphine for bone spurs on my spine & get epidural injections every 3 months for these.

I’ve been told before that I have fibromyalgia/Chronic fatigue syndrome, I.B.S., a spastic colon, gastritis, really just so many things I can’t even think of.

What can I do? I’m missing out on life because of these health issues. Please, please is there anything else I can do?
Thank you,
Lisa G
Thank you for the post, I really am desperate.
On the hand washing, I’ve only recently started within the last couple months of the excess hand washing but I’ve been getting sick like this for yrs now.
I will definitely try the celiac diet. I’ve started keeping a food log to see if anything inparticular set me off but it is hard to follow a diet when there are so many out there and I’m not sure what’s wrong with me, so thanks again. Sunshyne, thank you for the kind words. Very sweet and thoughtful. I wish no one had to suffer with any of this kinda crap. Last & the least, Meredith. I’ve been rail thin and have had a few extra pounds and my health doesn’t change. I sleep a ton but never feel rested or wake refreshed & I’m on several different medications WHICH ARE NOT HELPING, thats why I’m looking for other answers.

i have a theory that im developing that crohn’s disease is worsened by the colonoscopy procedure, by the unnatural opening of the ileocecal valve which then may spread amounts of bacteria into the small intestine, but of course this theory is immediatly disproved if i find out the this valve does not open one bit as a result of the air being pumped into the intestines.

I really want an answer from someone who is credible, so if you know, tell me precisely how you know, thank you!!!!
