Within the last year I started having a gnawing pain in my stomach that was relieved by eating a few saltines and drinking a little milk. This became more and more frequent. Then about 4 months ago I began to have a problem with belching. Constant belching. Now I have at times terrible heartburn (dr put me on Protonix) and it helps a lot. But my stomach sometimes just burns terribly and the pain goes through to my back. Also, when I bend over it feels like any food that is in my stomach wants to come up. Not like vomiting, it just wants to come up. I don't have any vomiting but sometimes do feel a little nauseous. And quite often I feel bloated. No bowel movement problems whatsoever. Have another dr appt. next week. Does anyone know what I'm feeling?
