Hi friends,

Lately, I've been having a LOT of stomach pain. So much so that I even got an endoscopy a few weeks ago where they didn't find anything.
We are in the process of doing other tests, but my guess is that those won't show anything either.

My dietitian, who knows I've been working through a trauma lately, mentioned that maybe it could be functional abdominal pain related to the trauma. Where my brain has been in so much pain that it basically tells my stomach that it also needs to be in pain.

It does get worse after a day full of flashbacks and other symptoms. But I've also had stomach pain for forever. It's just never been this bad.

Does anyone else have any insight into stomach pain caused by working through trauma, or worsening PTSD symptoms?
