Question Anybody suffered these symptoms

Hi i am new here. I have been suffering for about 4 months with stomach aches, bad cramps, burning sensation in stomach, gurgling in stomach, nausea and generally feeling weak. I have also lost about a stone in weight but this could be down to the fact that i have a new job which is manual and involves lifting.

I get these feelings everyday and i am now having anxiety attacks worrying that something is seriously ill.

THe symptoms are worse after eating spicy/greasy food and after any alcohol.

Any comments would be most helpful.

Thanks
ShazzaUk

Re: Anybody suffered these symptoms

Hello and Welcome, Like you I have been having realy bad stomach problems, it all started under my right rib back in january, And in febuary I started feeling nausea nad having pain in the middle of my belly, like you burning pain , also getting pain under my left rib. I feel so weak and am so worried that it is something more serious going on, I have been to A&E
and they say go back to your doctor, I have had a scan on my gall-bladder to see if I have gall stones it come back ok, I am going for a Endscopy on thursday I am scared , But the doctor said that it might not show what the problem is and that I may need a CT scan. Are you looking realy pale , I am !! how old are you , do have any children I have 3 kids 2 boys and 1 girl. Let me know how things go with you. I have always had a problem with anxiety and all this is making things so much worse.
what tests have you had???

take care ...Mandy

Re: Anybody suffered these symptoms

I have the same symptoms as you and I was diagnosed with Chronic Mild Gastritis via an endoscopy. I have been on Pantoloc for over a year now and my symptoms have actually been getting worse the past 2 weeks. I have been having horrible acid reflux, burning across my whole abdomen, pain under my left rib--like a full feeling, and worse of all nausea. I have made an appointment with my dr. AGAIN (for what seems like the 100th time in a short while) to get this sorted out once and for all. I have 3 kids as well (2 girls and a boy) and I don't have time to lay on the couch feeling sick all day!
Sorry to hear that you guys are suffering as well. I hope you feel better soon!

Lightbulb Re: Anybody suffered these symptoms

first of all, don't stress over it. Stress can make anything worse. You said it was worse after spicy-greasy foods? Take charge of yourself! Cut off the spicy and especially greasy foods. Cut out the acidy foods to. Like juices, coffee, raw tomatoes,and carbonated beverages. Cut out the boose for the test period. Stop taking over the counter painkillers like asperin. Now get some yougurt drinks and start your day with one..or the fruited yogurt is great. LOW FAT. Get a good quality chicken bullion or chicken base. Drink a hot cup, like you would a cup of tea. IF there is a bile problem, the broth will wash it into the system and "settle" the bile. Yogurt starts working when you put it into your mouth, and works right up to the "end". Look at what you are eating. Greasy fries or ice cream or even that glass of milk you think is helping your stomach, actually kicks your bile into the system. Eat yogurt for a few days, even before bed. Do what is best for yourself...eat it every day. If you watch the grease, dairy, acid foods for a few weeks, or even days, you can get your digestive system back on a smooth running path. Get yourself onto a healthy diet. It is your body and you have to operate it correctly. Put some sugar in your gas tank and see what happens? High fiber foods can cause gas...but there are products like beano that can help that. Now if you faithfully try this for a while, and the same discomfort continues, go to the doctor. You can tell him what you did and it will help him rule out somethings. "Touch" where it hurts, Some clear descriptions of your pain can speak right to the cause. If the plan you followed helps you...stay with it. Change your life to get yourself right. Do not celebrate with a greasy pizza.

Re: Anybody suffered these symptoms

Mandy sometimes i do seem pale. I have two son aged 11 and 2. I have had no tests so far but think it is about time i asked for some. THe doctor prescribed me with Lansoprazole tablets which are used to treat excess acid in the stomach and are also used to treat ulcers.

I will try the system Teresa has suggested but i am still going to get booked inthe docs this week. I am fed up with my anxieties about it all getting worse. It is now stopping me doing things i should be doing etc.

Thanks
ShazzaUk
