    hi Ranji

    you're not alone. I've had extreme gastritis for 2 years now. All started with burping and then trapped wind and bloated stomach. I've got bad acid reflux. My stomach issues are on going 😩

    I've had endoscopy and showed mild gastritis.

    I'm now underway with more tests as ive had pain on lower right handside being testing for bowel issues. My Dr has been amazing and gives me reassurance all the time.

    I tried antiacids but didn't agree with me. I've been taking probiotics as I suffer from heartburn

    I'm always making Drs appointments as ive had a list of perimenopause symptoms.

    it's a lonely and scary journey 😔

      I had a constant bloated stomach, and heartburn and bad pain under a breast,

      It got so bad,

      I had an endoscopy which revealed a hiatus hernia 4cm and oesophagitis,

      Given different meds to take but got worse, was given another endoscopy,

      Which revealed my hiatus hernia was 7cm it has gone from 4cm to 7cm in 6 months and I'm down on waiting list for reflux surgery,

      I've been waiting for 2 years so far because they insisted on a PH test being done first,

      I got my consultant to nag at the surgeon that it's so bad I have to blend my food etc

      And lucky I have a video consultation on July 2nd with the actual surgeon,

      Im in the UK and I've heard not to good stories about the reflux surgery,

      If any of you are struggling with daily heartburn and bloating etc

      I'd demand a endoscopy x

      definitely mines revealed mild gastritis. Do you get lower abdomen pain? on your right handside? I'm taking probiotics and they have calmed down heartburn! thank goodness. But painful bloating still there. Had ultrasound so awaiting results

      Yes I get lower abdomen pain as well, I think it's a lot to do with trapped wind as well,

      We all know how painful that is

      Peppermint tea is good and also prune juice (just a small glass of that as you will be running back n forth to the toilet)

      Best thing you had done is the ultrasound, fingers crossed for your results x

      thanks ive had a stressful 2 weeks as the DR has now referred me to a gynaecologist as my CA125 levels were high! Had my ovaries checked a year ago and normal. My bloods were fine in October so hoping my heavy period has elevated them and it's nothing to about.

      I also done bowel cancer test will know results on Monday.

      My anxiety is through the roof.

      Is your pain lower rightside side? like a dull ache? feels inflamed?
