you and I have the EXACT same problem.. my mother has it too. My abdomen bothers me if I eat and even if I don't. I still do not feel any better after I use the bathroom either. I was put on some meds for it, but like you, they did not work. Like you, I hurt all the time. I don't feel like doing anything and my food does not even digest into my body before I have to make a run to the bathroom. Sometimes, there is even undigested food in my stool!! Talk about gross, and when i have to go to the bathroom, I have to go!!! It just comes over me and some days i pray I make it to the bathroom. Feel free to e-mail me. Good luck.
