Hello, My 32-year old wife visited the ER last week with abdominal pain . Both blood work and Urine came back normal and an Abdominal CT Scan also came back normal. She was prescribed pain medication and released with instruction to follow up with PC. The PC has referred her to a GI to discuss issues. The past 12 months she has battled depression and stress and has a combination of consipation and diarhea with some blood. What could her issues be?

Hi there ~ I understand that your wife is in a lot of pain and has been having these symptoms for a long time now.  She has been battling from depression and anxiety.  You do not mention if she has seen a psychiatrist or a psychologist however.  I think that you would be better off taking her to a psychiatrist to have a complete history taken and proper medication taken for the condition that seems to me to be a somatoform disorder.  I hope this helps. Take care and have a good day !
