 Posted: 08/05/06 - 14:42 Post subject: HELP ME!!! PLEASE!!! Unexplained Stomach Pains. |
  |
|
Hi, my name is Kimbereley and I am lost in words on what is going on with me. I went to the ER and my GI doctor. I have an endoscopy on Aug 18th. Since July 19th I have severe upper stomach pains. It's not GERD, Heartburn, Indigestion or an Ulcer. My blood work looks great my CAT scan and ultra sounds show extreme acid. Every single time I eat or drink I feel so full and fell like I am going to explode. It also feels if someone is standing on my stomach or stabbing over and over with a knife. My stomach hurts so bad the pain goes through to my back. It hurts more when I sit or stand. Laying down helps me to a degree. I have a lot of belching as well. No acid or food comes back up. I gave up on eating because of how I fell that I am just drinking slim fast and other protein shakes. I just can not take the pain much longer. I was diagnosed with IBS and Mild Gastritis about a year or two ago. Is there any one out there going through what I am and have any answers???? PLEASE...
Thank you ,
Kimbereley

Hi there,
Have you been checked for gallbladder stones? Also you said your blood work was good, but have you been checked your blood for Helicobacter Pylori? Your symptoms could induce a lot of things, but some extreme serious disorders should be recognizable in your blood. I suffer from chronic gastritis almost 2 years already. The gastroscopic exam found the inflammation my stomach lining. I was prescribed on PRILOSEC (Omeprazole), but it didn't help a lot. Then the doctor prescribed me on PREVACID (lansoprazole) which worked great for me.
| Quote: |
| Lansoprazole belongs to a class of antisecretory compounds, the substituted benzimidazoles, that do not exhibit anticholinergic or histamine H 2 -receptor antagonist properties, but that suppress gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition of the (H + ,K + )-ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell. Because this enzyme system is regarded as the acid (proton) pump within the parietal cell, lansoprazole has been characterized as a gastric acid-pump inhibitor, in that it blocks the final step of acid production. This effect is dose-related and leads to inhibition of both basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion irrespective of the stimulus. |
However, I still take PEPCID AC chewable tablets to suppress the heartburn after meals. Earlier, my stomach was bloated all the time, mostly after meals, but now it seems to help ... Anyway, you should do the endoscopy so your GI could check possible physical defect or blockage.
Good luck and let us know how went your endoscopic exam...
Regards,

Hello, my daughter has had stomache pain- consistent- for a month. she has constiapation and diarrehea and has missed tons of school because sitting in a class is ucomfortable and just the peer pressure in school with this kind of ailment is unbearable.

I had laparoscopic gall bladder surgery 2 years ago.
The pain never went away and only got worse.
Had 2 exploratory surgeries that made things even worse.
Now I have a diagnosis:
It is either Cecal Bascule (cecum flips up on itself) or Cecal Volvulus (cecum and right intestine twised).
It took me 2 long years of pain to finally be directed to a Colo-Rectal Surgeon.
If one is prone to a MOBILE CECUM, abdominal surgeries can cause these nightmarish conditions.
My advice - see a Colo-rectal Surgeon ASAP to rule out these possible problems. They will not go away with time or drugs - only specialized surgery will help.
NO ONE and NO WEBSITE ever mentions this problem - you must know what it is, before you can find out more about it, and it's more common than anyone realizes.
I now have some hope I might get my life back and can stop thinking of suicide.
Good Luck. |
