Hello,
I have IBS now for over 14 years
and was diagnosed many years ago, I
recently in the last year or so had
symptoms of Heartburn and Indigestion acid
reflux not associated with my IBS. I
wanted to get to the root of the problem
why I was suffering from such awful reflux
and indigestion it comes and goes usually
lasts for about two to three weeks and
then relaxes for maybe a few weeks again
before starting again.
I had Helicopacter Pylori on three
occasions and they have tested for this
and ruled this out, I also have had three
endoscopys which were clear apart from
some small Polyps. My doctor then
suggested I have a ultrasound scan which
then showed many small gallstones, great I
thought at least some answer to what might
be happening inside my stomach. I am due
to have a removal of gallstones with an
operation this year and wanted to ask a
question to anyone else who has had
gallstones.
The specialist at the hospital told me
that some symptoms of gallstones would be
some indigestion and acid reflux and that
the stones do move around, my throat is
usually red at the back where I feel the
acid is coming back up, I avoid all spicy
and fatty foods as a precaution but still
seem to get this horrible taste and acid
reflux problem. Could anyone advise me on
Gallstones and what symptoms they had when
they were discovered, my IBS is as I know
still prominent and unconnected to my
Gallstones and acid reflux
Thanks
