Hello
i had those kinds of problems for months
before I went to the doctor after a few
visits he tested found the helicobacter
pylori bactira, had to take 3 different
meds for about two weeks and now I dont
seem to have any problems. So maybe if
you havent been checked for this you might
want to ask your doctor.
Hope this helps

Hi,
what type of pain is it that your
experiencing? Is it like
shooting/stabbing type pains? - because
this is what I experienced when I had a
stomach ulcer.
- do you have any other symptoms
associated with the pain such as
nausea/vomiting or acid reflux?
- does the pain disappear when you eat, or
reappear when you eat certain foods?
- are you currently taking any medications
that could be causing the pain?
If you haven't already done so, you could
maybe write a list of answers to the
questions above and take them with you
next time you visit your gp - to ensure
that you provide them with as much
information as possible allowing a more
accurate and rapid diagnosis.
All the best.

way I can descirbe it is its like the
feeling u get when a fmaily member dies

medications but it stays with me all the
time,except when im busy doing
something!Strange I know!

Hi,
hmmm, yeh it does seem strange doesn't it,
tell your gp about the increased stomach
gas because it's probably related to the
pain your experiencing.
Have you made another appointment? If
your gp doesn't help, change to a
different one, or make a complaint against
them if you don't feel they are providing
you the the health care you need.
