Hi to every one
my name is Sarah and I'm 25 I have stomach proplem from 6 years ago and I don't know why
I have bloated upper stomach when i eat and especially when I drink water I feel fullness at upper stomach and alot of burping , gases and constipaton
I feel also depression cause of this and I wonder if this symptoms is cause of IBS but i'm confused by reflux , i went to more than one doctor and the say that I have H pylori and gastritis and no need for colonscopy , I feel nervous and i think alot cause of this proplems I want to feel normal as befor , I fear from food I don't want to fell fullness and reflux and I fear water more , I eat healty food very much and I stop spicy and fatty food .
I had several food poisoning at past cause of eating out side home but now no more , I dont have nausea and I don't vomit except If i do that purposely , H'm depression cause of that .
Is that symptomes for Irritable bowl syndrom or not ?
sorry I mean endoscopy above *
Sarah what meds have they put you on, that's exactly what I had wi. I can't understand if you h pylori how they diagnosed this without endoscopy, did you do breath test, are without H P infection are you on antibiotics and antacids?
Sorry that reply was bad, my computer is poorly also. Did they diagnose this with breath test? What meds are you on? I had the same without h p infection. Are you on antibiotics and ant acids?
hi Mutley I hope you are doing well Thank you for your repley , for the tests about h pylori no they don't do any thing for check for , I went to more than one doctor they just guess that by the symptomes thats why I'm still confuse the one test for h pylori was when i get food poisening they found but I take medication for that antibiotic and omeprazol and since and my stomach have proplems with digestion and reflux I told them I want endoscopy but they refuse cause they guss from symptomes that I have gastritis , for medication like i say i take omeprazol , antiacid, gaviscon and nexium also some doctor say the reflux cause of laxation of lower esophygeal sphinster so give some medication to make it close , so have no Idea for what I have to do
If it is h p, then the antibiotics will clear it, I would take a good probiotic also especially with taking antibiotics. The omeprazole and other antacids your taking will stop you digesting your food properly and can make you feel like you have worse gastric problems than you have, they also cause anxiety. How long are you on antibiotics for? usually its 2 weeks for h .p. But not sure about food poisoning, once your h p has cleared, taper down your ant acids, don't just stop them as they can give you a little burn, I'm sure you'll feel so much better once off them, personally I would take ranitidine, they are very effective and much milder than omeparazole, I'd opt for 300mg per day and ditch the others, you'll digest much better and coming off them is so much easier. It feels tough right now but you will get better, your very scared right now and imagining all sorts of horrors. Go see nutritionist, they will listen to you and help you. They don't like ant acids and will give you good advice but you must take them whilst on antibiotics, they can be hard on your stomach. Go privately, they are better than NHS.
hi Mkutley how are you I hope you are fine , you are right about imagining all sort of horrors and maybe that what cause me the stomach pains so i will stop worry and forget the upset stomach , for the antibiotic i take them about 2 weeks and the omeprazol for about month ,yes you are right about omeprazol and indigestion because how can food digest with low stomach acid i stop omeprazol cause i don't think it's useful for digestion , i take ginger with yogurt it's really help me and camomile my stomach really calm and digestion become much better , i change the water with mineral water it's more light for stomach , i will take your advise for going to nutritionist for advice about food and good diet thank you so much for support and have a nice day
Good girl Sarah, don't do what I did, I was diagnosed with mild gastritis, worked myself up into a real state about it, took antacids and got addicted, I struggle to get off but I made myself ill with worry that I have got a nasty gastric problem, I just wish I would have left the Internet well alone fed myself with so much rubbish information. I couldn't get off omeprazole and burnt my stomach well and good, now I am stuck on them. It hurts, I just wish I had someone to have the sense to stop me doing this to myself. You take care but am here if you need help.
