Stomach Problems! :/

Hi everyone!! :smiley:

My stomach problems started many years ago but only became a problem a few month ago. I started getting bad and constant nausea and bad bloating/gas - I would also burping up food that I had eaten. I went to the doctor about this and was prescribed Somax (Acid Tablets) I was told that I have acid Refux and possible gastritis.

I took these tablets for months but it was not working at all! I should say that I suffer from severe anxiety issues. My anxiety was becoming really bad because I thought I might have stomach cancer. I go back to the doctor to tell her I am not feeling any better and that I would like to see a Gastroenterologist to get an endoscopy done - Before my procedure the specialist looked at my previous blood test and said they were perfect and I could have IBS.

Being told I have IBS I changed my whole diet I cut out all dairy and cut back on gluten, Nothing was changing! I wasn’t feeling any better. The day came to get my endoscopy - After my procedure my specialist said my stomach looked normal and there was only minimal Refulx. He took biopsies from my stomach I waited a few days and went back to the doctor for the biopsy results and she said I have mild gastritis in my stomach and mild inflammation in my duodenum (Small intestine) That was great! I was relieved that it was nothing worst, My doctor prescribed another acid tablet to me (Esomeprazole Apotex) 40mg - I have been on them for nearly 2 months and my nausea comes and goes! I got another set of blood tests done to check EVERYTHING! my liver, Pancreas, Kidney, blood Count etc…ALL was normal except my iron levels are incredibly low because I am a vegetarian. I got an abdomen scan done and it showed that I have a hemangioma on my liver, everything else was normal though.

I have also had a colonoscopy due to severe constipation issues. My results came back normal - I decided 3 weeks ago to get another endoscopy done to see if my stomach was any better! Results came back normal, After 2 months of taking my acid medication my gastritis had gone and I no longer have inflammation. But I still get on and off nausea daily! I have no idea what else to do! or what else it could be. I take anti-depressants, Iron tablets, Magnesium, Movicol, Fibre drink, Vegetable tablet and my acid tablets still ( Doc said to keep on them for alittle longer)

Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Sorry for the long story!! Thanks :slight_smile:
