Presently my stomach is doing the same as my feet, ankles, shins and knees and I'm horridly gassy with a permanemt gnawing sensation in my upper gut just like the one in my legs. I feel instinctively that this is part of the neuropathy but haven't a clue how to get this added into my autoimmune profile. If I go to the doctor they just call it gastritis and give me more Omaprezole - which helps at two a day - but not enough.

I'm still waiting to hear what the neuro has to say a month on from my tests. My GP says he must be still waiting for the results of the serum blood tests. It is rather frustrating when I am feeling so ill.
