    Hi carolina57981

    Get yourself an HPylori bacteria test..you have typical symptons for HPylori.

    Go to your doc and request a stool test,breath test or endoscopy..a blood test does not always show HP....best wishes...

    Hi

    I had the same since just before xmas and some reflux and was put on Lansoprazole and Ranitidine. They have now started to

    give me some relief finally. Had to have an endoscopy which showed mild gastritis but the doctor told me that sometimes this

    can produce just as much pain and sometimes more. I still have it unfortunately and it can take a few weeks to go or a few

    months or even years. It is very painful so I sympathise with

    you as I worked myself up into thinking I had something like cancer so they did an ultrasound on my abdomen which came back clear. Might be worth you getting some tests done if your

    symptoms persist. Good luck and you are definitely not alone with this xx
