Why Do I Keep Getting Unexplained Abdominal Pain Even When My Tests Are Normal? - #14852

Anonymous

For the last few months, I’ve been dealing with abdominal pain that comes and goes without any clear reason. Some days, it’s just a mild discomfort, and other times, it’s a sharp pain that makes it hard to move or even sit properly. It feels like it's shifting – one day it’s in the upper stomach, and another day, it’s in the lower abdomen. I thought maybe it was food-related, but I’ve tried cutting out dairy, gluten, and even spicy foods, yet the abdominal pain is still there. I went to the doctor, and they ran blood tests, an ultrasound, and even a stool test, but everything came back normal. They just told me to take painkillers and see if it goes away. But I don’t want to keep taking medicines without knowing the root cause of the abdominal pain. Some days I also feel bloated, like my stomach is full of gas, and I have random episodes of nausea. But then other days, I feel totally fine. It’s so frustrating not knowing what’s wrong. I’ve started looking into Ayurveda to see if there could be an imbalance in my doshas causing this abdominal pain. Could it be related to digestion or stress? Are there specific Ayurvedic treatments or dietary changes that help with chronic abdominal pain when all medical tests are normal? Has anyone else experienced this kind of mysterious abdominal pain? What helped you? Should I try herbal remedies, or is there a specific Ayurvedic detox that can help reset my digestive system?

Doctors’ responses

In Ayurveda, chronic abdominal pain with no clear medical diagnosis is often linked to imbalanced digestion (Agni) or a vata-pitta imbalance. Excess vata can cause shifting pain and bloating, while pitta imbalance can lead to nausea and occasional sharp pain. To calm the digestion, herbs like Triphala (for regular bowel movements and detox) and Amla (to reduce inflammation) may help. Ajwain (carom seeds) with warm water is also effective for bloating and gas. Diet changes are crucial. Avoid cold, heavy, and processed foods and focus on easily digestible, warm meals like khichdi, cooked vegetables, and soups. Incorporating ginger tea or cumin-infused water can boost digestive strength and reduce discomfort. It’s also important to eat mindfully and avoid overeating or skipping meals, which can disturb digestion. Stress management is equally essential, as stress can trigger abdominal pain. Daily pranayama or meditation can help balance the nervous system and reduce vata-related symptoms. If the pain persists, an Ayurvedic detox or gentle panchakarma therapy may help reset digestion and promote long-term relief. Many have found lasting benefits from combining herbal remedies with lifestyle changes.
