Good luck on your upper GI tomorrow. I hope the doctor can get you on the right medication to help you.
I have had stomach and colon problems for years. I had bleeding ulcers in 1983 and have been on all kinds of meds to control the problem of my stomach producing too much acid. I've have GERD also and I can not go without meds or another ulcer appears. The last time I stopped the meds, I had erosion of my esophogis and that really hurt so back on meds. I have polyps so I get a colonoscopy every 2 years. Yippee!!
I really don't know if they can get rid of the problem unless it is that e pylori condition that can be treated with antibiotics. The doctor will test for it when he does your upper GI. I was hoping I had it so it could be treated but I don't.
My Gasto for 25 years said that there are different things that affect people's stomach. I do much better when I don't eat anything before bedtime. I haven't found any particular food that bothers me more than others, it's just another mystery for me.
I just keep taking Prilosec and Rolaids. I hope you get some good news. I understand your frustration.

DX with Gerd, Hernia, had Gall Bladder taken out.
I am just getting sick of being sick. The Heartburn seems to feel
like it is burning through my insides and pain and a bunch of other things.
Each time different meds. given and treatment. Ok for awhile and then
it starts all over again.
Does anyone else have stomach problems that they can't get seem to
get rid of.
Wish me luck this time. I can't take it anymore. I am tired of having
these procedures done. It is scary because anything can happen when
they are looking around in those delicate places.
