Stomach Problem
Posted: 11-21-04 11:48am

New to this site. I find it very interesting.
I have had several problems in the last 5 months or so.
At first I started having pain in the center of my lower rib cage. Went to the doctor and he ran every test possible on me and told me that he thought I had a swollen pancreas,gave me 800 mg of ibuprofen and within days I got worse. Went back to him and requested an ultrasound on my upper and lower abdomen and intestines. They found a gallstone that was too big too pass and ordered surgery. Had the surgery and thought I would be better,but I didn't. The burning,knawing in my stomach was keeping me up at night and I thought I was dying.Went back to doctor and he did an h pylori blood test on me and it came back negative.Told me that he thought I had acid reflex and gave me previcid to take once a day for 6 weeks. I started feeling better after 4 weeks or so and started feeling better.Well that was several months ago and I dont feel any pain or burning now, but i'm experiencing alot of gas in my stomach and almost like there is a gas bubble or something just sitting there.Even though my doctor ruled out a ulcer with the blood test,can I still have one and if so do they take this long to heal? I have also lost over 30 pounds because of this. I have had no fever and a upset stomach a few times. Is there anything else I can do to help my stomach?

Homeopathic medicine has excellent remedies to improve digestion, improve motility of the stomach muscle fibres, balance the acid production needed for digestion and get rid of abdominal distention due to flatulence.
