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.
