A member asked:
Can ic cause upper abdominal pain too? can it also be aggravated when slightly constipated? i have ic & have had this for years.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Interstitialcystitis: Pain from ic should not normally be in the upper abdomen - that does suggest some other cause. But ic can be aggravate when you are constipated - or the constipation could be related to what is causing the upper abdominal pain.
