I have many post on the back pain forum regarding rerctal pressure, after doing research on my problem( I haveherniated disk w nerve damage) ive gone through many test including a colonoscopy, everything leads to my back injury, my question is, I have taken aleeve and ibuprofen for almost 3 years and now im wondering if its not my back thats causing my problems, but maybe gastritis, because taking to much antiinflamatories will cause stomach problems, when ever I have the pressure I have alot of air in side of my stomach that constantly moves but wont come out, but when I finally am able to relieve the gas I feel as though the pressure im experiencing disipates, im also very bloated kind of constipated, even though I go when im finished I still feel as though I could go more, can you have gastritis for 3 years my problems come and go and ive been noticeing(sp) I have my pressure when im laoded with gas, I feel like pulling my hair out, its getting so depressing trying to figure out what the heck is wrong doctors just dont give me the answers im looking for, since I discovered the long term effects od the anti inflam I stopped taking them I started taking acidopholous again and flax seed oil and I ve taken gas x I actually had a good day, my big question is can gas cause so many problems if any one has any similar with trapped gas or gastritis, I know having a back injury like mine can cause problems like this to because the injury to the nerves are at the base of your rectum and bladder, any input would be greatly appreciated,

Re: Ibuprofen And Gastritis

Bootsie it sound like we have been experincing some very simular problums. I have just gone through a gastric bypass surgery and have been experincing gas, at first it would last for aproximentley 6-7 hrs and was very uncomfterable but in the past three weeks it has only been coming on after I eat and lasting for 2-3 hrs. I have relayed this to my dr on several accasions and they never have a solid answer and suggest that I do liquids/yougrt for two or three days but still have the problem coming back. Nobody has a answer as to what causes this and was wondering and starting to do some research for my self. Hope to here from you. I am using my brothers computter. I do not have internant access at my home as of now. You can send information-commits to him and he will forword to me..I live in s.Dakota--also my phone number 605-228-2803--to where I can be called---hope to talk to you---gordo--829-----p.S.--would realy like to talk to over the telly-----thx--gordo

Sorry to hear your having problems,lately I have been feeling ok, I will say I take 1 phazyme a day which is like gas x so maybe that has helped im not sure I was just told by my orthopedic doctor that the cause of my rectum problems(pressure) is due to having degenerative disk disease in my lower back because I sustained an injury from a motor vehicle accident I have 2 herniated disk, and unfortunately the only way to correct my problem is to have a complete disc removal which im kind of nervous because they go through your stomach and there are so many risk, and I also know when having any type of back injury will cause bowel problems, I also started intaking more fiber between that and the gas relever I dont have that feeling of fullness, theres a site its called Mayoclinic and if you go to flatuence itll give you a list of things that will help you relieve it and what causes gas ive tried some of the things pepermint tea also helps as far as eating yogurt it contains acidopholous which is a live bacteria that is good for your intestines it cleans away the bad bacteria, I also take that, you can buy pure acidopholous at any sore that sells vitamins and thats suppose to help with gas, if you cant find it its the same as eating a yogurt a day, good luck I hope you find a solution to your problem
