I can't tell if it is making it worse or better. I called the gastro doctor's office this morning. Told them again that I need something for the pain, or something to help ease the esophagus or something. Not sure if they will. I do have the HIDA scan coming up this Friday. Right now he has me on Nortryptyline, which is an anti-depressant, but it's supposed to be a pain killer too. I told his office I really believe it has just made me worse. I do have heart palps and take Atenolol (spel?) for heart palps. I was able to get of the heart medication, until I began taking the Nortrptyline. Now I'm back on the heart med too. I'll see what gastro doctor's office does today. Thanks for the notes.
Your doc is probably going to have to work with you through process of elimination and testing. It's not a quick fix but I wish you wellness.

Re: Where do yall have pain at?

over the past three days, I haven't been eating much. I feel really full after a 3-4 bites. whatever I try to eat doesn't seem to digest properly either. it just sits in my stomach like a rock all day and all night. i'm thinking its the medicine i'm taking, sucralfate (1 gm 4x day) and omeprazole (20mg 2x day) that is blocking absorption and digestion? (I've been on the omeprazole for 2 weeks now and have been taking the sucralfate for 4 days).

I haven't had a bm in 2 days too. I cannot figure out if its because i'm not eating much or its the meds? i'm going on 2+ weeks now being ill with horrible gastro pains and rancid acid reflux and waiting to see the gastro specialist tomorrow *thank god*!

So this evening I realized that my breathe is horrible - despite perfect oral hygiene. I thought to check my urine for ketones with some keto-stix i had from when I was doing the low carb diet. I would monitor my level of ketosis. Sure enough there is a considerable amount of ketones in my urine, despite my eating what I could today. Had half a bran muffin that I ate slowly over a 3 hr period this morning and an 3/4 of an egg bagel dry. Thankfully I did drink nearly 2 liters of water today too, to avoid getting dehydrated.

Has anyone experienced this while they were still intaking food with this condition?

Re: Where do yall have pain at?

Lately now I've been having fullness feelings on my left side below my breastbone. Like I feel bloated on that one side and it kinda goes into the middle of my stomach. Anybody else have this?
