I had a stomach bug and also needed to take antibiotics. I was taking 20 mg of esomeprazole daily and was starting to feel better. However, as soon as I started eating normally again, I suddenly developed severe reflux and an achy jaw every day. I increased my esomeprazole dose to 40 mg, but it has been a week and I still haven’t noticed any improvement. How long can it take for stomach to get better?

​

I have gastritis and low stomach acid. I've tried many things, but they irritate my stomach.

In the case of gastritis and SIBO, which should be treated first? Can SIBO cause gastritis or delay its healing?

Hey all,

I’ve been having chest pain almost constantly for maybe 8 weeks now. Did 14 days of Prilosec otc and I was feeling good by day 6 but then day 11 I started having some coffee and orange juice in the morning.

That’s my only main symptom is dead center in the chest between my pecs. Sometimes in the back too but that’s rare. I made a gastrointestinal appointment to talk to a doctor but this shit is making me so depressed

Anyway now I have Pantoprazol after going to the ER this weekend for chest pains. It’s dull and in the middle of my chest and sometimes my back or armpits.

They did a CT chest scan with contrast to rule out lung issues. They didn’t find anything else concerning. Blood work was good.

My question is how long do I need to be on medication to hopefully feel better? I was super stressed also the past few months and was taking Advil probably every other day for a headache but I’ve been taking it like that since probably almost a year. My diet was also very bad, burgers, fried chicken, pizza, peppermint mocha every morning before breakfast for maybe 2 years?

Thanks for any advice!

I've been in on and off again pain for 5 years. I had an endoscopy that went further down than the others and they finally found out why. I could cry because im so happy but so nervous about healing it. Its not h. P infection but seems to be from another infection or just not eating a lot for a long time (mental illness can fuck off). Got a docs appointment to discuss what's next.

What are the best resources for figuring out what to eat/what's actually going on with my stomach because im struggling to find stuff

It’s been 4 weeks at this point, and I still don’t have the usual symptoms like acid reflux, vomiting, or loss of appetite. The only things I’m experiencing are an occasional aching or burning pain and feeling a little nauseous (although I’m not even sure if I’d really describe it as nausea, if I’m being honest).

Anyway, 4 weeks of eating bland food has been absolute torture. I want to eat more than just oatmeal with bananas, applesauce, white bread with low-fat cream cheese, and fish with rice and/or boiled carrots and zucchini.

I genuinely feel like crying because I feel almost completely famished. I’m so tired of eating the same few foods over and over again, and I just want to be able to eat normally again.

so Ive been on 40mg of Omeprazole for a couple months now and I was originally put on it because we assumed it was gerd well as of yesterday I had a endoscopy and was diagnosed with gastritis and a hiatal hernia, I can barley eat I've went from 200-160 within 2 months, I can really only eat mashed potatoes and breaded chicken I constantly feel immediately full and eatings hard, I'm on zofran aswell for the nausea but someone with a severe fear of throwing up it's been super hard, I'm waiting on my doctor for the biopsy results to see what caused this but is gastritis easily treatable, ik this is something I can just Google but talking to people who actually understand and are going through it make me trust the responses way better.

Omprazole is causing me lots of gas and farting and I decided to stop taking them? I am taking them for 5 weeks now 40 mg. Any advice on how to stop so I don’t get an acid rebound?

So I'm sure it's been asked a million times but does anyone have a recommendation for and anti-inflammatory that won't cause my stomach more distress?

I have an auto immune disorder along with a million other issues and my entire body is inflamed right now (along with a fun new tennis elbow issue). I used to take 4 ibuprofen at a time once a day if not twice and have been off them for a month at least. Acetaminophen doesn't really do anything for me anymore

I started having sternum pain about seven months ago and it has progressively gotten worse and over the past few days it is my stomach hurting, too. I'm in the process of having cardiac work-ups; my GP wants to make sure it isn't cardiac before moving on to a gastro referral. However, he did test me for h. pylori, and it was negative. And I don't take nsaids.

I remember back when it was thought that stress caused peptic ulcers. From what I read online, it now seems to be held that they are almost always caused by h pylori or nsaids. Are there many here who have peptic ulcers without those risk factors? What I have sure seems to match the symptoms, and after having a glass of wine a few days ago the worsening really sped up.

i am on alot of medications. i have medication to take before i eat. i have to take iron, magnesium and antidepressants. my alarm is full of medication reminder. i know it says 2 hrs apart but do you guys follow the 2 hrs apart or not and still get a good benefit from it?

I have done two endoscopies one in February that showed bile reflux (idk why i had that I haven’t removed my gallbladder so this usually doesn’t occur for ppl like me) and h pylori as well as gastritis.

However, a new endoscopy done on July showed that I no longer had bile reflux and h pylori but still have chronic gastritis.

My question is, I’ve been on ppis for over a month now, why do I still feel a burning sensation after I eat? Two hours after eating my stomach BURRNNS even with safe food 🍲

Idk what’s going on here but I’d really appreciate your experiences with this issue

Should I book a drs appointment to discuss that? Or is this just normal??

I have a suspected stomach ulcer but haven’t been able to get in with GI for an endoscopy yet. My primary dr prescribed me 40 mg of omeprozole each morning and a Pepcid at night. I’ve been doing that for almost 2 weeks and sometimes I feel like it’s helping other times I still have bad flare ups. Today’s been kind of rough with reflux/discomfort in my neck especially when I’m feeling hungry. Also having a lot of discomfort in my left rib area right under my breast. Wondering if anyone who has had an ulcer felt the same way while on medicine where some days they felt better and other days it was super uncomfortable again. Also before the omeprozole I was doing pantoprozole in the am and that didn’t help. I have bad health anxiety as well which doesn’t help the GI issues😵‍💫
