Re: Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction

The devils own pain, it's like being punished, it causes anxiety and a fear of going out in case you are struck down. It cause 'false' food intolerances .

A couple of questions:
Do you get relief when you lie on your back?
Does it peak at a specific time of the day, so around 17.00 hrs or 4 to 5 hours after a reasonable meal?
Is it worse the day after activity?
Do you get migraines?

If you stand up when you have the pain and examine your own abdomen very carefully can you feel a tenderness or irregularity, about 2 inches (5 cm) to the right, half way between the navel and 'V' in the rib cage?

One thing to try is to increase the amount of water you drink in a day, by at least 2 pints. This may help to prevent the flare-up but unfortunately not the constant pain.
