Upper Stomach Pain, Nausea & Burning of the Stomach

Perhaps crohn's disease?

I have the same symptoms more or less since being in the hospital last Nov, new drugs bld pressure meds. given then I got home felt better for 2weeks then bam I have been having same symptoms and dramatic weight loss as all the posts have claimed so I am going to become gluten-free and dairy free as my 2 children and grandson have gluten intolerence and dairy. See how I react to all this as sometimes I think I am "crazy" and it's all in my head. BUT one thing to mention I do have a special needs daughter who is now 28 and have been taking care of her since she's 2 as she had leukemia and now has a rare seizure disorder uncontrolled - Stress maybe!!!!!! But I have to feel well to take care of her and I can't feeling like this. Cure me someone, I take enough pills.

I see that many people on here have been prescribed GERD type medications. If these medications are given before the proper tests are done... this can cause the over production of acid. I know this because this is what happened to me. I went to see a GI... he diagnosis GERD/acid reflux and puts me on meds. 2 months later the pain is worse... he changes the med to a higher dosage... then comes the test. He did it backassward. Now I have Barretts as well as GERD and I think it all started with the meds. I have gotten off the meds and changed my diet... avoiding those foods that I know are troublesome. Let them tell you what they will but I am a 38 year non smoker, non drinker and weigh the 175 lbs that I did in high school... these docs are script happy.

I would also suggest Probiotics... the gut contains 75% of your immune system. Good luck and God Bless.

This request is to the guest who replied on 3-5-13, what did you find were your trigger foods? We are having a hard time determining that, the only thing that sticks out is potatoes made any which way, which seems to be an odd trigger food so we feel that it cant be potatoes As that is never listed on any persons "bad" food lists

IT SOUNDS LIKE ULCER, SHE MUST CUT CERTAIN FOODS FROM HER DIET.

I had very similar symptoms, and after 10 + years of this pain a doctor suggested I go on a Gluten Free diet. My health has done a 180 degree turn. Even though all the test for Celiac disease are negative, I know i am allergic to gluten. I feel great, and I will never go back to eating gluten.

Just curious on the stool test results for any parasites??? I have loss of appetite, feeling drained of energy, burning in stomach, and suspect bacteria or parasites.

Hello, did doctors ever find out what is wrong with your wife? She has all the same symtoms I do and no one can seem to figure it out! I'm becoming very discouraged about this, as I just had my gallbladder removed and it did not work :-/

Have you researched Candida Albicans in the gut? When an imbalance occurs as does with a lot of people living in western society, it is responsible for much of our ailments and distress in the GI area. 90% of our immune system is in the gut and this organism is able to grow when we have taken antibiotics or have a diet high in refined sugars and carb. Hope this helps and once you research it in depth you will understand what I am talking about and can begin to take steps to kill the extra yeast in the gut and she can feel healthy again.

What kind of cancer did you have and what kind of test did they run to find it? Thanks
I'm so sorry about the cancer :(

I myself am facing a problem similar to your wife problem.I would suggest do naturopathy that is the answer to all our problems.There is a very good centre in Bassi near Jaipur that has treated many patients suffering from chronic problems.Refer to their website and I am sure the results will be beneficial to you.They opt for only natural methods to cure the disease and is a one month long program.Try it out .Its worth the effort.

I'm having same pains, I was told it could possibly be an ulcer. I'm only 20 and I have been having pains for about a year and a half.

Bread will have gluten in it.you may be intolerant to gluten. I suggest:-

- eliminate gluten from your diet .. breads.

- eliminate gluten from your drinks ... beers

- no big meals to minimise load on stomach

- dont sit in low chair after meals ... folds the stomach and pushes acid into esophagus

- drink mouthful of water immediately you feel burn in esophagus.

Hope this helps.

I am a 32 year old mom but feel much older. I have had stomach pains my whole life but got much worse four years ago. I have had all kinds of tests and procedures and meds.
