Sore stomach in the mornings... - Digestive Disorders Message Board

Hello,

This only happens when I wake up..
I feel like I have a sore stomach...and as soon as I drink or eat something its gone...
This is happening as long as I can remember ..
I guess it is something that has to do with acid?
Anyone has any suggestions?

Thanks

I would get checked for h. pylori. You could have an ulcer as the stomach usually feels better with something in it with an ulcer. It just may not be enough to wake you up.

Hello, I guess it only happens when I lie down and sleep...
Do I need to see a regular doctor or someone special ?
I am leaving on vacation next tuesday therefor I dont have that much time..
maybe try something from the pharmacy or go to a general clinic and ask to give me something against h. pylori ?

They can't give you something for it. It has to be checked by blood sample, stool, biopsy or breath test and if positive you have to go on a 2 week medicine program of antibiotics and a acid inhibitor. No time to do it before you go. Any Dr. can order the test but it is best treated by a gastroenterolgist. In the meantime you can take Prilosec which you can get at the drug store. Take it before bed and see if it helps with the acid. It is a good drug for that but as soon as you can see a Dr. when you get home. Stay away from chocolate, alchohol and mint as that relaxes the valve that lest the stomach acid back up. Ease up on dairy, also. Maybe you can get thru you trip with minimal discomfort with the Prilosec but you need to see someone eventually as it can become more serious.

hello again...

Seen a doc today... he said the symptoms are very strange since it only lasts 2 minutes and only in the morning... but once I get up its all good.
He gave me for free 1 package for two weeks PANTOLOC ( Protonix in USA )
He said that eliminates any types of ulcers and kills H.Pylori. I will try it out and if it works and removes that sore stomach feeling which i have every morning then he will give me for 2 weeks more if not then he will send me to see a gastro
specialist..
He also said since im leaving he doesnt have time for the H.Pylori test he wants me to call him after vacation to let him know if everything is ok or he will send me for that test and gimme a mix of antibiotics and anti acids if test is positive..

thanks again
