Extreme gastritis and acedity

i had endoscopy, i showed gastritis and mild erosive gastritis, i have all the symptoms you mentioned for over a year (my stomach was fine before) i had the scans youre having and all that showed up were fibroids. do you get post nasal drip at all and dry mouth? x

hey! it's Sands again. I'm being tested for bowel cancer this week and have been referred for scan too...hoping its all positive. My bowels are all over the place. I got pain on my lower right handside hence being tested for it.

so stressful

yep pretty sure ive got post nasal drip, my nose is more runny than usual & ive got hayfever which ive never had before. get dry mouth also like my gums are stuck to my teeth & a strange taste in my mouth usually appears in the afternoon!

hi! omg really its all so stressful my health anxiety is through the roof which in turn upsets my tummy even more! doc said it would be 6/8 weeks for my scan as she doesnt think its urgent, please let me know how you get on with your tests fingers crossed its all hormone related x

I definitely will do. My Dr has put everything as urgent! I saw her on Thursday. Had full bloods done yesterday. I'm on my period so have to do my bowels sample ASAP. Then got a scan booked in for Friday so everything within a week.

On top of this my nausea has come back, heavy periods and horrendous headaches!!!!

arrrghhhhh hate being me 😞

ive had those scans, infact ive had over 20 different scans, i also had endoscopy whilst awake with 22 biopsies, and deep breast tissue biopsy, so its not just you trust me x

wow what a fantastic service! my nausea is awful at the moment im force feeding myself, just feel so weak like constant flu feeling plus the backache really is painful! i hate being me too :0(

seems like we all end up having similar tests! imagine a world where doctors understood this! i get breathless and itchy from smells, and dont get me started on food allergies x

i understand dear..after 45 i think our life will be spent for scan, x-ray along with sufferings

im 40 😦

thanks for your reply. It's just so horrible 😞 I don't want to always put it down to peri just incase their is something serious going on.

I feel like I have a new symptom every month!

ah bless you. Me too ive lost weight! I think my DR has put it as urgent as all your organs are on your right handside.

I love my DR it makes a massive difference to my perimenopause. She listens. I've been through at least 6 other Drs all gave me antidepressants.

i know what you mean, i had a year of tests, my pain is always worse on my right side.

I wish they had a perimenopause clinic so we can have all the tests and be stress free!! That it's perimenopause and then give us advice on how to best manage it! It would be a happier place for us women and our poor partners and family!

where abouts? mines I lower right handside?

lower abdomen and i get pain in ribs too

couldnt agree more, but we know more about this than them, im thinking when this is over or when my brain functions properly again of opening a u tube channel or blog about all this, i was told for over a year that it was all anxiety, and the docs thought the night sweats were a tumour, had to do a 24 urine test, they are clueless, id say message me if you need to talk but that function is no longer available on here for some reason x

yes me too. Dr wants to rule out bowel cancer due to my on going stomach issues! have you had a colonscopy?

this forum and messaging you ladies have literally saved me. I was losing the will to live!

I have weeks of feeling OK. Then I'm all over the place with nausea, headaches, major brain fog! Major mood swings and uncontrollable 😢

How can someone ever feel like this. Hormones are dangerous

i know, im only having about a day a month were i feel a little better, my cycle is now every 21 days, and i have a histamine problem now 😦

no, but ive had all the tests, bloods, stool and scans etc x

you can rule out bowel cancer via a stool sample thats what gastro had me do before endoscopy x

me too! every 21 days! So heavy too

horrible isnt it, and they have gone really strange too as i used to get cramps before period but now im getting them 4 days in, and no longer start light nope its heavy heavy heavy x

me too! no warning signs they just come full on!!!

I don't want the coil as I'm already dealing with peri!!!! I won't be able to handle the side effects!

i have the copper coil its useless but tried mirena 10 years ago for heavy periods and was allergic x

same here..i do wonder sometimes whether my sufferings are related to peri or something else..but after coming here & reading all the comments i am getting a kind of satisfaction thinking my problems are related to peri only

This was my first symptom 3 years ago. I was bed ridden! I haven't had a headache like this since last October.

I'm getting used to them! It doesn't help after having the COVID jab! I was really ill for 2 days and now this!

The last 3 years has been horrible I've been in and out of DRs and hospital appointments!

I don't want to assume its peri all the time so always get yourself checked out just to be sure.

ive had every test under the sun so now im just doing vitamins x

how to get tested, cannot go out..it is lockdown here in india..no doctor is free, all hospitals are full with covid patients..whatever the problem, i have to take care at home only

okay you had digestive issues for 9 months but you had it continuously? i mean every day or it used to come & go? i am suffering from the same problems dear, do not know how to get rid of these

im sorry but yes everyday either all at once or just a couple like the bloating/nausea its a nightmare, i lost about 3kg last year when it all started i know that doesnt sound much but im very petite/small so any weight loss is a big deal for me. i now eat at the times i know i should eat even if im not hungry, today i have chest pressure, dizzy & hearts racing!

oh god really sorry for you too..i am feeling like i have this stomach problems from so many years it started from last month though..i was okay with peri from past 2 years, somehow i managed.. but suddenly stomach burning, loose stools, acedity started..sometimes feel like only i am suffering from this stomach issues.

by the way what you eat? doctor asked me to eat only rice with sambhar (no masala) buttermilk, idli..no oil food, no ice cream & no chats

i eat wholegrain rice cereal with almond milk, turkey veg and buckwheat pasta x

im 5.6 and 46kgs bmi 17 x

hi Toria,

I had a call from the DR today and CA125 are abnormal. So I've been fast tracked to get CT scan to rule out ovarian cancer. My anxiety is through the roof. My CA125 were normal in October and scan was clear a year ago.

I'm just so worried as DR is concerned about the pain on right handside. I did say I did my bloods on day two of my period can that raise it?

Dr wants to rule it out. Have you experienced this with your pain?

please please try not to stress too much, a lot of things can cause it to be raised, your period, fibroids, endometriosis, i have fibroids and i only found that out because i had a scan that gastro ordered, id had pain for months, was told scan was normal until i questioned doctor further and she said well you do have fibroids (that was news to me) x

apparently according to google ca125 can be 22% higher during your period, sending hugs x

thanks Toria. I'm trying to remain strong. on top of this waiting to do my bowel test waiting for my periods to finish

no worries, anytime, it could also be a simple cyst, i remember when i was rush through to gastro they said possible throat cancer, and breast clinic possible breast cancer, we have to be here for each other x

thanks keeping positive X

i have to eat pretty bland boring stuff now, no spicy food anymore, lots of water & fruit/veg x

Thinking of you, gosh i really hope all goes well please keep us posted x

im 5.2 & 47kg went down to 44kg last year but managed to put back on by force feeding myself, not sure what my bmi is x

so we are both skinny minnies then haha i cant put any weight back on x

we are bless us! ive always been tiny, i think i burn loads of calories because i feel constantly anxious x

im the same lovely, i had my period, it finished on the 28th, thought i would calm down but literally havent had a break, if anything everything is worse, and now im burning up and boobs are so sore, do you ever notice every period you have the same symptoms but a few different one added in each month? like no 2 periods are the same, this one feels like a year ago when this all started, and my body is so sore 😦 x
