hello there, i was told a couple of weeks ago that i've got a slight hh after i had endoscopy, i have no heartburn or acid reflux, but i do have chest pains (quite sharp at times) that go through to the back also a constant lower back pain (doc thought it was kidney stones but test was clear), burping and sickness but by far the worst symptom is the intense stinging and burning pain in the left side and bottom of my stomach that comes and goes, but is made worse by alcohol, coffee or oj or anything acidy ie fruit.

the last time i had alcohol i was doubled over in intense pain for the next 24 hours and recently, i had an orange juice ice pop and 10 min later my stomach started stinging and burning an it took 4 days for the pain to go.

i'm on 60mg lansoprazole a day and have been for the last 4 months as i had Helicobacter Pylori back in march, i was treated for this a felt better for a few weeks then it all started up again. i'm really at my wits end the endoscopy guys said i've no ulcers (Helicobacter Pylori can course this)just a small hh.

i just wanted to know if anyone else has these pains in their stomachs (at the bottom rather than at the top) as i'm really not that convinced a slight hh is doing all this, and wonder if it's the h-pylori (which the doc's tell me should have gone even though they won't re test to find out)or somthing else.

i will be greatful for any help xxx

    I have a large hiatus hernia and Barrett's and they also discovered gallstones (gallbladder removed 25th April). I am a lot better but I do experience the burning in my stomach, on left side under my boob. I do think that maybe a change of diet might help. It is best to avoid coffee, tea (I can't give up my tea), citrus fruits and juices, very hot or very cold foods, spicy foods, chocolate, (Crunchie seems to not cause problems) tomatoes and some salads and cheese and red meat can also cause problems. Try to eat early in the evening. It really is difficult to do all this but it is better than the pain. I have been trying a herbal liquid called Centaurium which seems to settle things.

    Did they give you a gallbladder scan? Look at the Gallstones site on here you will be amazed at the similarity of symptons.

    I hope you get some relief soon.

    thanks so much for a quick reply and great advice, u poorthing u have suffered loads hope u feel better soon.

    i have completely changed my whole diet not by choice just can't stand the pain, i've had a real hard time giving up coffee but have switched to herbal teas which helps and stick to very plain food,but still get the stinging pains here and there at different times of the day. i often thought about gallbladder probs but dismissed it as it's normally effect the right side so thanks for letting me know it still could still be that,just fed up with going to the docs and they must be fed up with me but just don't know what else to do as it's hard to cope with sometimes and messes up every part of your life.

    thanks again your reply has given me a bit of hope that maybe it's more that just a hh.

    cheers mandy xx
