Hi everyone, first timer here on this site. For about a month and a half my stomach has been distended especially after eating (I look like a full blown pregnant woman everytime i eat!). I went to my family doctor and got an ultrasound done, showed nothing but underlying gas and an ovarian cyst that measured to 4.6cm(About 2 inches).
About 2 weeks i started getting a pain on the right side of my belly button and on my lower right side of my abdomen, also accompanied by veeery dark stool/dark diareah, fatigue, weak, but no fever. I called my doctor asap and he told me to go the emergency room because it could be possible appendicitis, okay so i went, they said the pain was due to an ovarian cyst that measured to 4.6cm(almost 2 inches) and they discharged me. (Funny how the new pain was caused by a cyst??
) I had received my birth control shot Depro- Vera in the beginning of September, so my gynocologist said that the shot will help the cyst out by making it smaller (this was before i was hospitalized).
So what now? I went to a G.I. doctor and he said i could have possibly have developed an intolerance to lactose, or it can be a hernia or an ulcer. So he told me to lay off anything that contains lactose including high fructose and sorbitol and to see how it goes for about a week. Its been day 4 on this diet and nothing has been getting better, still the same symptoms except nauseau started and weird green ribbon like stool, extreme fatigue and when i do get the pain i also feel shooting pains down my hips to about mid thigh.
I just want to hear someone else's input on this because to me this does not sound normal. Ive read and read online but there isnt anyone i can really talk to about this and that might have some insight. So please, if anyone has anything to add to this, please do so. Thank You...

but then i woke up on the 4th day after the episode and i had the same pain and symptoms again, 2 days later, the same episode again, but the original symptoms were still there but not as bad, now i just randomly get the pains and not so often after i eat. Yesterday i woke up with a pain in my throat and today it is worse accompanied by coughing, and also another factor to consider, my boyfriend woke up today with similar pains and the same episode i had and he felt better. Im starting to believe i could just have a virus but my body was trying to fight it off all along and now im actually getting sick. What are your thoughts on this??
