Let me start off by saying hello, long time reader first time poster! Let me start stating my symptoms, don't know if they are related or not but ill list em all. For about 9 years I have had problems with diarea... the past two years I have had pain in my chest/stomach area. About two months ago the pain got so bad that I went to the hospital and had my gall bladder removed. The pain is still there. It usually starts behind the zyfoid process (center of chest and can radiate to the left breast area and then to the south of the ribs on the right side. I usually get the pain after a stressful situation or of I have a nightmare. Along with the pain is burning diarea that is all stomach bile, burping and unable to eat. If I take pepto I have to drink a 4 ounce bottle of it to make the pain bearable. I have had a colenoscopy and nothing was found. I'm sort of at my wits end with this. Doctors guessed it was IBS and proscribed Nexium. I take it every day and still have the pain. It also wakes me up sometimes. I am a 29 year old male who works night shift. There seems to be no trigger for it, it comes and goes as it pleases. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know what exactly it could be, but it doesn't sound like I.B.S. My best guess would be a stomach ulcer. Have you had any ultrasounds done, because that may help to find the culprit.
