hi Ranji
you're not alone. I've had extreme gastritis for 2 years now. All started with burping and then trapped wind and bloated stomach. I've got bad acid reflux. My stomach issues are on going 😩
I've had endoscopy and showed mild gastritis.
I'm now underway with more tests as ive had pain on lower right handside being testing for bowel issues. My Dr has been amazing and gives me reassurance all the time.
I tried antiacids but didn't agree with me. I've been taking probiotics as I suffer from heartburn
I'm always making Drs appointments as ive had a list of perimenopause symptoms.
it's a lonely and scary journey 😔

hi, hun you not alone are you losing weight with it. My Appetite not great either I get bloated from almost every thing I eat, what about yourself than my bowel move alot I don't know what's going on. Alot of women's on here say their bowel has change. I am menopause but I don't what stage I am in, I been going through since 2016.
hi im 46 in peri had awful digestive issues for 9 months now, bloating, rushing to the loo on waking very loose/smelly, no appetite, slight weight lose, nausea, acid reflux, doc says ibs but im sure its linked to hormones. been tested for h pylori, bowel cancer both clear now waiting for a ct scan of pelvis & abdomen because the pain can be so bad left side under ribs & back ache like burning x
i had endoscopy, i showed gastritis and mild erosive gastritis, i have all the symptoms you mentioned for over a year (my stomach was fine before) i had the scans youre having and all that showed up were fibroids. do you get post nasal drip at all and dry mouth? x
hey! it's Sands again. I'm being tested for bowel cancer this week and have been referred for scan too...hoping its all positive. My bowels are all over the place. I got pain on my lower right handside hence being tested for it.
so stressful
yep pretty sure ive got post nasal drip, my nose is more runny than usual & ive got hayfever which ive never had before. get dry mouth also like my gums are stuck to my teeth & a strange taste in my mouth usually appears in the afternoon!
hi! omg really its all so stressful my health anxiety is through the roof which in turn upsets my tummy even more! doc said it would be 6/8 weeks for my scan as she doesnt think its urgent, please let me know how you get on with your tests fingers crossed its all hormone related x
I definitely will do. My Dr has put everything as urgent! I saw her on Thursday. Had full bloods done yesterday. I'm on my period so have to do my bowels sample ASAP. Then got a scan booked in for Friday so everything within a week.
On top of this my nausea has come back, heavy periods and horrendous headaches!!!!
arrrghhhhh hate being me 😞
ive had those scans, infact ive had over 20 different scans, i also had endoscopy whilst awake with 22 biopsies, and deep breast tissue biopsy, so its not just you trust me x
wow what a fantastic service! my nausea is awful at the moment im force feeding myself, just feel so weak like constant flu feeling plus the backache really is painful! i hate being me too :0(
seems like we all end up having similar tests! imagine a world where doctors understood this! i get breathless and itchy from smells, and dont get me started on food allergies x
you mean you suffered this for a year??
yes heartburn is there too..due to covid i am not able to go to doctor..i am calling my doctor & taking his suggestions..but i am not satisfied as gastritis, acidity & heartburn there now too..addition to these headche also started
agree it is indeed a lonely & scary journey..i want my health back
not loosing weight..now headache also started that too severe headache..i want to break my head..cant tolerate anymore
i understand dear..after 45 i think our life will be spent for scan, x-ray along with sufferings
about 15 months x
