Burning In Stomach Posted: 07-06-04 08:03am
I am having a constant burning sensation
under my left rib cage, it is a non-stop
thing, I find myself belching a lot and
getting a gnawing pain, I have been like
this every since april, I had an upper gi
(negative)blood and feces test came back
normal.
Any answers, I need help.
I have taken prevacid, ranatidine,
aciphex.
My next step is endoscopy.
I am praying it isn't cancerous.
Thanks for your time.

I to have had the same problem with
burning in my stomach mostly when I am
empty I have to eat small amount about 4
to 5 times aday. I have stomach ulcers.
The meds I am on now seem to be helping I
take nexium at bedtime. Cant eat anything
for 2hrs before pill. I also have a
spastic colon (ibs) had this problem for
years. Since 1992 was doing fine for a
long time but now both are acting up, lots
of pains in my ribs and back from the
colon. I also take levsin or levbid for
the spasms but I know it will take some
time to for the meds to work. Need to
take fiber like metamucil or fibercon
everyday. Stay away from caffeine. Hope
this helps someone

i've been on levbid for
2 weeks now and its seems to be helping.
Still have some pains under my ribs. Also
have been taking some ativan to keep me
calm. Stress has a lot to do with my
stomach spasums. I know what it's like
and how stressful it can be not have a
diagnosi thats what happened to me back in
the 90's when test after test didn't show
anything. But when I was in the middle of
my colonoscapy I had spasums the doctor
really knew what the problem was right
away.

Thank you for the information. I was so
worried about this that I had a panic
attack on saturday. I am now on zoloft.
I go for another testing next week.
