For the past ten months I have had intermittent acute abdominal pain attacks.
The pain is very stabbing and intense and can last up to 5 hours. I have had several trips to ER for this and was prescribed Prilosec and Pepsid. I take either one or the other daily but they really do not prevent these abdominal pain spells from occuring.
Two days ago I got tired of not having this addressed by physicians and went to urgent care where I received a CT scan and basically, aside from hemangiomas on my liver (they said it was no big deal) and some calcification on kidneys there was nothing obviously wrong. I had an abdominal ultrasound today and next week will have a GI test done.  I presume they will not be conclusive based on my passing the CT test with no apparent problems.  My D test results are no longer on this board.
I wonder what happened to them? Any how it showed a level of 72 indicating Th1 inflamation.  I showed my results and the responses by advocates on this board to several DRs and none took it seriously or even cared to read the print outs. Most Drs treat me as a hypochondriac which is quite frustrating.  My question is can this illness cause acute upper abdominal pain attacks? If so what could be the problem?
Any information or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
ellenclark

It is just so frustrating when you try to talk to Dr.s regarding D test results and they respond by saying its just a vitamin D result. They really have no interest in even addressing this in any way and when I try to present the Marshall Protocol they shut down. Their general attitude is very condescending and often rude. They simply do not believe in anything I am presenting

Ellen,

Sadly, your experience with doctors is all too common.  The Marshall Pathogenesis is a relatively new understanding of chronic disease, and few doctors have any idea yet of how much 'vitamin D' impacts the body's whole hormonal system.  Did you try approaching the ones on the list we gave you?

Meanwhile, you should try to get that high 25-D level down by avoiding all vit D in your diet, and avoiding daylight.  However, you might need to do it gradually... see Should I wear NoIRs, avoid natural light exposure and eliminate vitamin D before starting Benicar?
