Hannah and Kathy,
This is exactly the problem I've been having for 6 weeks now. Initially I was hospitalized for it because the pain was so bad I lost 10 lbs in 2 days and was severly dehydrated. I couldn't even keep my meds down.

The last time I had this was about 6 months ago when I started Topomax. The GI doctor said to try cutting that out and prescribed 30mg of Prevacid a day. I've been taking it since, he recommends it to anyone taking anti-inflammatories daily.

This latest incident happened after I got home fro my honeymoon. Initially we figured I picked up a bug from the islands but all the hospital tests and tests done again last week ruled it out.

The pain is a constant burning, cramping pain and I do get hiccups everyday, it was so odd that you mentioned that. The pain initially 6 weeks ago was so bad it was making me sick, hence the dehydration to the point my kidneys almost shut down. It's now at the point where the pain is constantly there but a bit more manageable. I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy on the 16th.

I hate to tell you this Hannah but if it is the same thing, Ketamine doesn't get rid of it. I had my 300 mg booster x2 days right after I got out of the hospital and it didn't touch the stomach pain, no change at all.
