When is the pain worse? After eating? On any empty stomach? Is it better by meal? Is there any heartburn? Any nausea or vomiting associated with it? How long does the pain last? What is the frequency of the pain/ how does it generally get better? More details and upper gastro intestinal endoscopy is needed too. Do the blood tests you have undergone have the rheumatoid factor test, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, c reactive protein etc.? If so what are the results.
With more details and evaluation< homeopathic medicine would be of help to you.

The pain is worse when there is food in my stomach. For example when I wake in the morning, I do not have pain. It seems that eating helps the pain at first, but then it starts to hurt about 30 to 60 minutes after eating. Yes, I am mildly nauseated at times (about every other week for a day or two). I also burp all the time extremely loud and long (like my teanagers when the guzzle soda pop). And I do this with or without food in my stomach. My pain lasts anywhere from an hour to a three days off and on. The pains were about every other month for a couple weeks of this one hour thing or two to three days in a row, and I have no idea why it starts or goes away. I've kept a journal of what I am eating, and when it is in a "flare up" -- acidic foods do hurt more, but other than that I am unable to draw any conclusions about what foods I should avoid. I am taking nexium and chewing on tums, but I have found something at the health food store that seems to have made it go away once this winter. It is dgl licorice, and I just chew one of these about 15 minutes before I eat. The blood work that I had done showed that I do not have celiac disease. My endoscopy ended on a scary note. The doctor told me that I probably have 1 cm of barrett's esophagus (he took four biopsie) and chronic gastritis of the fundus where he took two more biopsies. I am scared because all he said was, "i didn't find any tumors." and then his nurse told me that the biopsies are basically checks for cancer. When I think about all the other things that are wrong and the nausea and the pictures of my fundus that had white and yellow scares on it -- I am scared! I won't get the biopsy results until 7-15. All of those blood test things that you asked about were tested and normal including a negative ana result. In my most recent blood work the only things that were flagged are as follows: wbc 3.2 low, rdw 11.2 low, ly% 44.7 high. Just to conclude, if it is cancer I will go crazy for awhile, but at least I will know what it is that I am battling. Please don't hold back your thoughts.

I was just given my endoscopy biopsy results (early thank goodness), and the results are not cancer! Yippee! I have a bacterial infection. Blind loop syndrome is the name that my rheumotolgist called it. The most amazing thing is that this one thing accounts for every pain and symptom that I have been experiencing for the past 21 months. And it will more than likely be managed with antibiotics. I am starting a 21 day dose of levaquin (500 mg once a day). I will also continue with the nexium and dgl for the gastritis. I plan to ask my gastroenterologist about probiotics during my appointment on thursday. The doctors/experts used to say that this syndrome was only possible with a very old bypass procedure, but i'm here to tell you that I am proof positie that they were incorrect! Don't get me wrong, i'd still go through with the bypass, but I sure wish my doctors could have been more knowledgable about this possibility and discovered it about 20 months ago!

Your suffering may have saved me months of testing! I have been having the exact same symptoms for the last 3 months. I have thought it was stress related, which is possible. I have just been going through a major life change (moved across the country, new job, new home, etc.) -- also post op gastric bypass 2 yrs. I haven't followed all the rules since the surgery, but have felt great and am 150% glad that I went through it all. I was really starting to worry that I had "done something" to myself because of "not following all the rules". I am going to the Dr. Next month though just to make sure everything is okay, but am going to have them do blood work first and check for a bacterial infection. Thanks again and i'm glad your test results came out okay. Hope you're feeling well again!
