Stomach Issues

[SoMDGirl42]

You could have a stomach ulcer. When I had one i could barely eat I lost some weight too. I went to the doctors and they put me on stuff for it and haven't had a problem since as I still take meds to keep the stomach acid down etc. I went to dr.u.k.shaw(sp) he I think is the only gastro doctor in the county that I know of if you find someone else please let me know.

Dr. Anil G. Kankaria. He's in with the Shah's, but I really, really like him.

I haven't had anything to eat this morning and its hurting. Had a taco salad yesterday for lunch and boy was that a . The only thing I have had this morning is half of a 14oz coffee.

Taco salad and coffee with an upset stomach?! No wonder it's upset!

Also, if you've been diagnosed with a stomach ulcer, you need to be tested for H plyori. H plyori is the bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers. If you are postive, a heavy dose of the right antibiotics can kill the bacteria and help with the healing of the ulcers. If it's been 6 years since your last scope, you're probably due for another. Just FYI.

I suggest you f/u with an gastro. Sounds like you have something going on there and you need to find out what ASAP. Hope you feel better.

BTW, when I had my gallbladder removed, they told me for 2 years that it wasn't my gallbladder. When they finally removed it, the pain stopped.
