Acid Reflux & Chronic Stomach Pain & Vomiting Symptoms ?
Posted , 5 users are following.
My daughter has been diagnosed with really bad acid reflux & oesophagitis.
She has been prescribed strong medication for 30 days - if symptoms don't improve she will need surgery.
My question is - does anyone suffer from really bad stomach pains and vomiting ? She doesn't seem to have the usual symptoms of heartburn or a burning sensation in the throat. All her symptoms seem to be stomach related ?
Thanks

There are pros and cons of having surgery, as others have said I would see a gastroentologist first and get their opinion. In the UK that is the typical route and then the gastro will refer you to a general surgeon if you need surgery. I am managing mine with PPI as I am not bothered by all the scare stories around PPI's and if there were as bad as everyone claims NICE would not approve them for use.

Had a calprotectin test which came back at 132 but doctor said that's okay too.
