My burning in my stomach started when I first got pregnant with my first child. It felt like a burning hunger, and it wouldn't go away, even after eating and I also extreme thirst through out the whole pregnancy. It all went away after my first pregnancy was over. The same thing again with my second pregnancy. My last pregnancy (third child) was the worst. My stomach started burning badly and there was a gnawing pain, and this time it was very intense through out my whole pregnancy along with the extreme thirst. It was all I could think about at the time, was the pain, and it was hard to describe. A false burning hunger that wouldn't go away after eating, then a gnawing pain. I had a camera scope done in my stomach while I was pregnant and everything came back normal, except slight hiatus hernia, which they say it is too small to cause this burning. I also went to a natural path and spend over a thousand dollars trying out different blends of natural medicine. He said he thought it was gastritis, but the natural medicine didn't help. I was also on a strick diet. No sugars no carbs, lots of protien, nothing helped. After the baby was born the burning still continued, although it is not as bad as it use to be. I have had several tests ran, and all of it came back negative, No h.pylori virus, no diabetes, ultra sound test came back normal, had a colonostomy, barrium swallow, ct scan of the abdomen, another stomach scope and one scope around the pancrius. Also a number of blood tests. All the test came back negative. One internalist Doctor said maybe it was the progesterin from my birth control causing it, so I went off the bc pill. I asked him how it could be progesterone, since I dind't take bc pills while I was pregnant, but he said the body produces more progesterone in pregnancy. I am off the pill and it still burns. I have tried prescription Zantac for a few months, another big chalky pill for bile back up, which none of it has helped, so it is not acids. I wonder why this all started with my pregnancies, and why it has continued after my last pregnancy. I was even considering going to the Mayo clinic to get more tests ran, but they told me to expect to spend a minimun of ten grand. Has anyone else experienced these types of symptoms????
