Stomach ache
Hi I am 10 weeks post and every so often I get a real sore stomach, it aches from my belly button and lower. Can it be gas? Anyone ever have the same symptoms?
Thanks.

I didn't have it when I woke up - I had oatmeal and about 1/2 hour later had yogurt for breakfast. About an hour later it started, so I have had it now for a couple of hours. I have had it happen before - sometimes I have eaten and sometimes not. :(

Do you notice a pattern as to when this happens (i.e. after eating, moving certian ways )? And when it goes away (i.e. after releasing gas or having a BM, after stretching)?
When I get gas pains, mine strike more to one side than right in the middle, but that could be just me. After I can releave some pressure, it is usually fine.
If this is happening after specific movements, it could be a hernia that you are pulling every once in a while.
You can always contact your centre and see what they suggest it might be.
Edited to add: Does it always happen after you eat? Does it always happen after you have dairy products? You could be dairy sensitive.
