[|Human|] Hi, I have a constant background pain in my lower abdomial area. I have tested for infections and it all have been negative. I am 43 and I am suffering from this pain for 3 years. I have done Laparoscopy , but nothing was wrong. I took two Mintec capsuls 3 times a day. It reduced the pain for a while but then pain has returned. I appreciate your help. Regards, Kerry.
[|AI|]  Hello, magh7546,You mention that you have had this pain for three years. I am glad that infection has been ruled out. I suspect that you have had upper GI-X rays and also either a Barium Enema or a colonoscopy to rule out any problems such as gastritis, ulcer or colitis or diverticulosis. If these have been ruled out, you may have Irritable Bowel Syn Chat Doctor.  If you have abdominal bloating, constipation associated with pain, this supports the diagnosis. When you mentioned Minted did give you some relief, peppermint oil has been helpful in reducing the spasms associated with IBS. Minor heartburn is one of the side effects of peppermint oil capsules. You need to be on a high fiber diet,
