"After years of nsaids use and no stomach protection, my stomach was in such pain. I felt like I litteraly had the Alien digging out. It was so painful I writhed in pain pleading to just die already. This lasted for four years and worsened and seemed to age me from the stress of it, even smelling something spicy set her off, burning with acid indigestion to the point I couldn't breathe after associated with severe bloating and a painful lump that I swore was a tumor hanging on my stomach ( hence the Alien ). After several test, all neg except anemia, poss. Mild blockage resolved and Linzess meds, IBSC or CIC. So I'm going to go Paleo diet. Still bloating up. But almost pain free for two weeks after years."
