We will never know why but a few years ago. I had lots of these problems.
I went to gastro doctor and then another one. Because nothing was working. It turned out that going on nexium after a couple of the other meds was what helped me. Even to the extent I don't need it anymore. WHen my stomach acts up I really watch what I eat. It seems to be good for me. I do eat many blands anyway because it helps me. And its what I like.

Phone call with sis helped me figure out that I do indeed have an ulcer.
Sis did a bunch of stuff over a period of a few years:
I ordered these on Amazon to take while I wait for appointment w/ mdoc - will call tomorrow.
I might call an acupuncturist because I would prefer that to the med route my sis described. I have learned that I get side effects from meds. I think I would freak out if I also got side effects with meds to help my stomach. M |

I have digestive problems from medical stuff and the anxiety.
I had an endoscopy that showed I had a little ulcer and inflammation in my duodenum, and I also have acid reflux. I started taking 40mg of Protonix before having a second endoscopy, and they couldn't find anything wrong. I think the Protonix fixed the issues. Occasionally, I still have to take Gaviscon, which is THE BEST ANTACID IMHO, tho. I think you have a good plan of attack and hope you start to feel some relief, Mari. I hope you don't have to take any more meds

Hi,
I see mdoc at 3:40 p.m. Friday/today I will have to take Klonopin in order to deal with the possibly of having to sit in the waiting room for a long time . . . . last time I had an appointment I walked out with major anxiety after waiting too long. I am not in pain at the moment as long as long as I do not move. I do feel overall yucky even when not moving. M |

I'm glad that you are not in pain 100% of the time, but it hardly sounds like you are doing well, Mari
I wish I had just asked the doctor for the Protonix in the first place (it is prescription only). It would have saved me the two endoscopies and a lot of pain. I hope that the appointment with your mdoc goes well... hopefully he can get to the bottom of what is causing your pain and get you on a path to feeling better soon (without doing a bunch of testing)
