I have the same exact symptoms and treatment....this is terrible....I wish someone could help us.....I don't know what to do....mine is so severe I have swollen lymph nodes in my abdomen now.....any help would be greatly and I truly mean greatly appreciated....now the doctors try to write it off as IBS or anxiety.

Hi i also have the same symptoms. I have been taking 30mg lansoperazole and zantac 300mg which has helped emmensly. I found staying clear of alchol and fatty foods help. Im now going to try the alkaline diet as this creates less acid in ur stomach, thus allowing it to heal quicker! Are you feeling any better yet?

By the way you can find foodd which are more alkaline and more acidic by typing it into a search engine.

I so appreciate all of your help. The 30mg of lansoperazole you take is that a prescription or over teh counter? Can you please tell me if you take that at the same time as you take your zantac or one morning and one at night? I ask because I have tried so many medications and seen 5 doctors for this issue and each one says something different. Currently I am taking 40mg of Nexium in the morning 1 hour before breakfast with a large glass of water. This news about the food is great because I have been attempting to research that with no avail and the doctors all say no dietary restrictions. I had an endoscopy and they removed 2 small polyps (noncancerous) and said they were not the cause of my symptoms, which is true because I am still in so much pain. It feels like my stomach is being strangled. Lastly, the only real thing I have been told is severe gastritis.....inflammation.....so now what I ask and the gastroentrologist says try this medicine called raglan that may cause paralization of some sort.....that the meds move the food through the stomach quickly....I opt out of that, but have been considering because I have so much pain. The nexium only seems to help almost a good amount with the heartburn...but I still have it and the nausea is less with it.....put the pain all over my abdomen and tenderness is so bad I cry and sometimes am on the floor. Thanks for reaching out to help encourage me (a stranger)....Thank you so much!
