hi everyone, i am sat here staring to worry more! i have had indigestion problems for quite a fee years and i was never able to burp?? but since my little boy whos now 5 was born, i can now burp, all the time and loudly!! Gp keeps getting me to take omeprazole which i do but it dont seem to help?? i went for a endoscopy newrly 2 years ago and all was fine just a bit of mild gastritis. well i have been taking multivitamins and minerals the last few months and some omega 3 but tge last week i just feel like my belly is big and bloated all the time and j have constant burning in my chest and throat. i have started to take a probiotic supplement now to help but i have convinced myself i have stomach cancer like my nan or am heading for a heart attack! i get quite alot of burning pain in my back and lower back pain. i have not lost any weight, am fit and do quite alot of physical walking in my job and running after my kids and my bowels and appetite are fine? i feel abit exhausted by about 8.30 pm which frustrates me but then im up at 5 every morning. i am 43. any advice or s upport? x

    hi Tracey, gastritis, tell me about it! so sore, can burn in anywhere from stomach through to back of throat! i think your gastritis could be getting worse, you could equally have something new and i wouldn't ignore new symptoms, see your doctor, i am not saying anything else/nasty is a miss just to rule stuff out, omeprazole never helped me!cur them out and go for plain old fashioned gaviscon. it's the only thing that has helped me. i take it daily and when it's too tough i take 2 lots. doctors have 2 stock answers, mebeverine for ibs omeprazole for the stomach! don't believe try the gaviscon and if i'm wrong then i apologize.....
