    I have had what my GI doc calls IBS for a number of years. Over the years it has gotten to the point where most days I have cramping in my upper stomach all day!!! Bowel movements do not ever help this symptom. I am on Align for that problem. I am in constant pain with my stomach though. I have to force myself to do anything. I recently had and endoscopy and my Gi doc said that is still what he believes it is. I have tried all of the anti-spasmatic drugs. I am still in pain. I had CT of abdomen about 2 years ago. Nothing. Can someone please help me? Know of someone who can? Some other GI that is into new therapy perhaps?

     

    HELP!
