Bloated W/gas Often. Gas X Seems to Actually Make It Worse Posted: 02-25-06 20:50pm
I seem to bloat with gas after I eat or if
I haven't eaten for a while. It can be
painful. I feel slightly better if I
burp or pass gas. I am not able to pass
gas very often though.
I have tried to take gas x for it but
usually I actually feel worse for a while
and the pain ends up lasting longer.
I have had scopes and have mild colitis
and gastritis. They have tried me on
various prescription drugs but they seem
to do nothing except give me side
effects.
I have anxiety most of the time. I have
not been able to correlate it to any
particuliar food or situation.

My problem is virtually identical. It
hasn't caused any stomach pain really. I
feel pain more like in the chest. When
it isn't pain it's a really bad ache.
Nexium doesn't help. And after an
endoscopy, it turns out I have duodenal
ulcers. But ulcers are caused pirmarily
by two things. Either, over use of
nsaid(non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs), i.E. Aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.
Or, bacteria known as h.Pylori. The doc
said my ulcers were dueto neither. The
only thing he suggested was nexium, which
I took the first time this happened.
They had the same effect this time. I
get a sharp pain up the side of my
esophagus up to the throat. So I stopped
taking it. I'm afraid to eat so I eat
vey little now, and in a matter of 2
months, i've lost about 30lbs. The
relief after burping is the biggest thing.
And taking the gas-x did seem to make it
a little worse. I hope you get well
soon. And I hope you can hold on til you
do. I also suffer from anxiety and it
definately doesn't help. Good luck.
