I had an EGD done and I show signs of GERD. Irritation seen in stomach lining. I have tried every possible medication for Acid Reflux known to man at double the dosages as prescribed by GI Docs. I just had an MRI for chronic pancreatitis. Results negative. I have seen 3 different GI Docs and have made no headway. One test did show a decreased Gall Bladder function. The words IBS have been brought up.
I have no place to go. My condition is worsening with time and I cannot get any relief with traditional medications. I even tried amitriptyline at the suggestion of a GI Doc to see if that would help to ease the nerve pain. Nothing.
At this time I fear I am being placed into the "you're nuts" category. No options left.
Thanks for letting me post. Not even looking for answers anymore. Just had to let it out... |
Hi,
Sorry to hear you are feeling so bad.
Have you been tested for H.Pylori. IBS can cause Nausea and pain, I have it myself.
Diet is really important with IBS and you can find help with that online.
You may need an Ultra-sound to check your Gallbladder.
Hope you find an answer soon,
Solofelix.
