It is very common to experience real physical pain from stress due to the strong connection between your brain and gut. Since your scans are normal, this is often managed as functional pain. To help you recover, your doctor may suggest:\n\n1. Medications: Antispasmodics (like dicyclomine) to relax stomach muscles, or low-dose neuromodulators (like amitriptyline) to calm sensitive gut nerves.\n2. Stress Management: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and relaxation techniques can significantly reduce symptoms.\n3. Lifestyle changes: Eating smaller, regular meals and staying active.\n\nThis is a highly manageable condition. Please discuss these options with your doctor to find the best personalized plan for you.
