Hi, I am 16 years old, and I am very atlethic. But for half a year I have experianced abdominal pain, and acid reflux. I have always been into sports,but now it is the last thing what I want to do, because it is just painfull to stand. I start walking and about 10 minuts i get dizzy and i have to sit down. Even my eating habits have changed, I just to eat everything I like, but now I don't eat almost anything, because I have touble swalowing difrent types of food, and because I get nausea after some meals. In this time period I have lost alot of weight, and it fells like i am getting weaker and weaker every single day. I have done fibrogastroscopy, but it didn't show anything, and my doctor doesn't know what to do!
Has anyone elss experianced something like this, and how can I get over this???
Sorry about my English, it is not my native language...
The weakness and such you describe does not sound like a reflux symptom. You say that you are eating less and less. It's important that you don't eat too little. This would also provoke the reflux as starvation can be as responsible for reflux as eating the wrong foods. The gastroscopy might not show any gastritis or eosophogitus but that doesn't mean you aren't getting reflux. It just means that the reflux is not causing inflammation yet. Are you taking any supplements or protein powders? How is your diet? Are you eating regularly?
Hi Bigboocat
It sounds as if you have symptoms of HPylori...it is a bacteria that causes many stomach problems especially acid reflux and pain. Go to your doc and ask for HPylori test. It can be tested for by stool test or breath test. If you have it it can be treated with antibiotics.....best wishes fir a speedy diagnosis.....
Hi Miggy1!
Thanks for your reply!
I am not taking any supplements or protein powders! I would describe my diet as normal, I am mostly right now eating soups and porridges, because something are still hard to swallow.. I really try to eat regularly, but somedays I wake up and I feel very nauseous, and in on those kind of days it is painfull to walk , so I stay in bed and I don't eat almost anything. That is one of my biggest problems right now, becuase I feel like this even more and more often.
Anyway I heard from one of my friends that is normal for acid reflux.
