Acid reflux/indigestion/heartburn... and irregular bowel movements... HELP!
Posted , 5 users are following.
I've been having promblems with heart burn and indigestion for a couple of months now, and for a while problems with my bowel movements have flared up. My BMs are soft, foul smelling, more frequent and sometimes have visible mucus. I don't know what to do, I'm really worried there's something wrong with my bowels. Or if my bowels have been acting up because I've been on and off meds for acid.

As for acid meds, when I first started mine I had terrible trouble - very similar to yours.
As I said , try not to worry too much but done persistent if you are not happy.

other thing to check is pancreatic functioning (again NON invasively) - stool sample for elastace or blood tests I think, and the usual- make suer you don't have H-Pylori (simple stool or blood test), stool test for ova and parasites. and of course who knows what the meds do. i find alot of folk (myself included) have both upper and lower GI symtpoms and its hard to know what'/s primary and what's secondary- docs seem much more reluctant to admit they go together and seem to want to treat each sepeartely.

I'm having the same issues as you and I'm 28. I go to my doctor but she gives me no real concrete answers nor does she look concerned about my issue but I've had it for 1 year and more and more symptoms keep arising. I Google my symptoms and this forum showed up. I was curious did you find out what you have?
