Let's take this in a different, non-antibiotic, direction. It's just a thought as I'm gathering the drugs are fixing the current issue.

What is your daughter's current state regarding life stress? School, getting into college, job, sports, friends, boyfriends etc etc?

Reason I ask: Last November I had almost identical to described abdominal pain, so bad I couldn't stand up, and nothing was going down or coming out. Went to the ER, they doped me with an IV, bunch of other crap and told me my vitals were good so I "wasn't about to die"...sent me packing. I would have been angry but I couldn't think straight the pain was so bad.

Went to my regular doctor the next day, CT/MRI, see nothing to be concerned about but this pain is still terrible, they wanted to put me on anti-b's. I refused to take drugs for something they weren't sure about.

I called a friend, my wife's OB, and he told me to go see a buddy of his, supposedly best gastro locally. I sit down with this guy, he asks me what's happening in my life...nothing Doc.

No really, what are things you have going on?

Me: My wife is due with our first child in 3 weeks, my boss is about to get fired for fudging #s, I'm trying to wrangle another job, I'm selling a car, selling a house, and it's Christmas time...

He laughs and says, "you haven't considered stress?"

Turns out I was having stress induced intestinal contractions, my large intestine was having muscle spasms to the point where it literally knotted itself.

Took a little magic pill called Bentyl for 3 days, have been 100% since.

Also, been actively trying to keep myself wound less tight...
