I hope I am not going crazy but I have posted before and nobody has had a similiar experience.

I had my gallbladder removed September 2008. I have these episodes every 2 weeks where my stomach tightens up, nausau, belching, and it feels like I have a tight belt around my waist. It will last for 3-5 days and then I go back to normal again.

I had a H-ployria test, a pancritis test, now I am going to see a gasterologist tomorrow. I am also taking Choletyamine powder. I have to have a CT scan next week.

I am so nervous and scared I am crying every night thinking I have cancer or something. All these test make me so scared. I am down to eating chicken broth, crackers because I am nausau. I notice when I do belch sometimes it is relieved with some of the nausau. I tried 3 different kinds of acid reflux medicines that don't work.

Help someone

i am no doctor but trust me if you had cancer in your tummy you would lose weight like crazy i think..... i lost 2 friends around age 40 to stomach cancer and pain was never the issues in the early stages... it was major weight loss but if you see a gastro dr. you are in the best hands... did they do a scope thing into your tummy yet?

I am sure when I see him tomorrow he will suggest a scope. Thanks for answering my message. I have lost weight only because of the nausau feeling so I eat broth and crackers. I just had a complete blood count in September 2008 for my checkup - I just see all these people on the message board and they have no hope and no answers. I am feeling a little better with the choltyamine powder. I found out that the cholesterol medicine that I was taking for the past year is bad for gallbadder disease but now I don't have a gallbladder. So my doctor asked me not to take it anymore. I am just so fustrated and wish this will go away so I can live my life. Now I have so much anxiety thinking I will have multiple attacks in my stomach.

Problem is that I can't even drink a glass of wine without bothering my stomach.
