Hi new here!! My story started in June of last year. I was having a dull ache in my stomach all day. Then in October it progressed to heartburn as well. And recently I have C and D, and my stomach is increasingly aching, and feeling better after eating, but worse if I eat too much or certain foods. I had an upper GI, blood tests, an ultrasound, an endoscopy, and a colonoscopy. I was diagnosed with a hietal hernia and gastritis. The protonix and prevacid I was prescribed did not seem to help. I was then given zelnorm. Whoaaa! Caused sever D for two hours. Then another doctors visit my doctor said I have IBS and I need to learn to "cope" Ugghhh!! Not sure what to do. Should I change doc's?? I have been taking B12 supplements and L-glutamine to help with protein breakdown. I have also heard that some people have success with Chinese medicine. Frustrating. I feel for everyone on these boards. There are way too many stomach problems with people these days.
Thanks~Lizzie
