I've been having pain and severe burning
in the upper part of my stomach, just
below the breast area. I cannot bear to
have anything around my waist. Can't
wear a bra because it fits right over the
area that's bothering me. Almost
everything I eat causes pain. I've
pleaded with my doctor to find out what is
going on. So far i've had an upper gi,
and endoscopy, and a gall bladder test.
Have not had a hida scan but after reading
the post on this board I will request one
tomorrow. My neighbor is a doctor (not
my personal physician) and he told me
regular gall bladder tests are rarely
accurate. At this time, my doctor is
treating me for h pylori though my blood
test was negative. I'm on two high
powered antibiotics, nexium and pepto
bismol. I've been on this treatment for
six days now and can tell no difference.
I'd really like to hear from someone who
might have had similar symptoms. I've
seen posts that described the pain in
upper stomach but few who mentioned the
terrible burning (as if my stomach is on
fire).
Somebody please let me know something as
i'm getting so frustrated and so out of
heart.

When I first got sick, I had a burning
pain in the center of my ribcages, about 4
inches about my belly button. Is this
where your pain is? I recently found out
through a hida scan that my gallbladder is
only functioning at 20%. I also get
discomfort at my right ribcage and a lot
of nausea. Do you have any other
symptoms? Have you had the hida scan
done yet?

Hi my grandmother was treated for h pylori
earlier this year, and her stomach still
burned. She ended up having serious
issue with gallstones, altho your
situation can be diferent. She did have
her gallbladder removed and she says she
feels much better!
They did some test where she drank this
chalky white liquid and then they looked
for gallstones, sorry I can be accurate on
the test.
right now I have been sick for 2 1/2
months and at first I was treated for a
chemical imbalance because I was dizzy
everyday. Then my mom talked to her
natural healing doctor and he swore it was
my gallbladder, I had burning in my tummy,
heartburn, gassiness u name it. After I
started taking the meds a-f betafood, im
not longer dizzy and im starting to feel
better, altho my case may not be as
serious. I may just have sludge. I hope
u are able to find out your problem...I
know it gets hard to deal with from time
to time
