Gastritis - Constant severe stomach pain

Hi

I know this is an old thread but i was hoping that someone suffering the same as me may have found something that helps

I have a dull pain in my abdomen , its right at my solar plexis and radiates to both sides , its hurts when i bend down or try to lift anything ie my toddler grandkids !it seems to get worse as the day progresses and starts to throb or spasm , my gp tells me i have ibs but surely ibs comes and goes !! this is constant , im tired all the time , my toilet habits havent changed nuch , pretty normal for me either normal or constipated , i did have a bout of loose poop at the beginning of this rubbish journey of pain but not now .i dont feel sick , but yesterday i did have a dizzy spell wnd thought i was going to faint , gittery and weak , i dont know if this is connected or not , any ideas would be gratefully accepted ?

Hi Jenny,

I was piosoned with Isopropyl Alcohol gradually in a month period. I did not know it is absorbed very fast through skin. It evantually saturated my liver and I developed the symptoms of a piosoned person. Stomach pain was one of them and after a while it is still there due to the damage Isopropy alcohol has caused to my stomach and the intestine lining and other organs. The piosoning in my case was pretty quick ( a month) but some people get piosoned over a longer time perid by being exposed to poison through usual cleaning liquids used at home or other chamicals.

So verify if you have been and still exposed regularly to a small quantity of harmful chemicals used at home or work environmrnt. 

Hi Jenny,

I too am experiencing the same symptoms unfortunately.....however I do suffer from extreme anxiety and panic attacks. I have been on and off antidepressants over the past 15 years.....I refuse to go on them as I believe they are making my conditions worse. They cause alot of gastrointestinal issues....

When I dont eat I feel sick. ..when I do eat I feel sick....no matter what it's an issue. ....

Have u had any relief?

I take tecta on a daily basis.

Hi my names michael haigh im 39 years old..3 weeks ago i started getting really bad stomach pain...so went to the docs...she guessed at gastritis...and told me to keep taking omeprazole which dident have any affect..and the pain worsend to the point i went to a&e...they did all blood tests...urine sampel and a few other tests that all came back clear...they arranged for an appointment for me to have the camera down my throat and a scan..which im worried about having...scared to death if im honest of the outcome...im still waiting for these tests and recently visited my doc again as im now feeling ill and still got pain that will not go...did you ever get over this problem..and can anyone give me any idea what this could be..or a way to relieve feeling like this? Xxx

I know this is an old post but I've been going thru these symptoms for over a year now.  I have bouts of pain after eating, drinking and at times when my stomach is empty....so pretty much constant.  I have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis whic is under control and gastritis, gerd, and small hiatal hernia. My doctor said the hernia shouldn't be causing the problem so that leaves me with the gerd and gastritis. I am taking a high dose of Prilosec ttwice a day and Carafate.i don't drink, smoke, or eat acidic or spicy food.  The only things I drink are water or almond milk.i don't know what else to do. I know that for me coffee, chocolate, and peppermint ate definite no-nos. right now I am havivivg pretty bad pains but I'm hoping the Carafate stops it. It usually takes about a week for it to kick in. My doctor wants me to take all that is basically Prilosec with bicarbonate added. They are expensive so I may try to just add a little bicarbonate soda when I take my Prilosec. When having the pain, the only thing I can eat is plain rice, baked chicken, and white potatoes. Stomach still has pain but could be worse.  My gall bladder was removed 2 years ago and I believe my problem may be from bile in my stomach and not just regular acid.  I will probably call my doc  in a few days. He told me if it didn't get better he wanted to do a CAT scan.  Not sure why as I think another endoscopy is what I need.  I may try aloe juice.  Will repost if I do.

Wow I have had these symptoms since summer 2013...I am a senior in college now and I can barely function in school because I am up half the night with excruciating stomach pain that makes me throw up usually in the early morning-4-5 am. I have tried EVERYTHING from prescribed medications, lifestyle changes, and homeopathic remedies-none of which have helped. I do not smoke, hardly drink, and have been doing yoga for years and meditating, nothing puts it to ease. I am in result completely exhausted, mentally and physically, and extremely frustrated that I cannot find the answer. I have been diagnosed with many things including IBS, gastrotitis, inflammation, etc etc etc. These are all ways of doctors saying "i dont know". Hopefully someone soon can help us....

Hi Jenny, I am glad you started this discussion.  It seems many have the same symptoms.  I have it too, all of it, the pain, sometimes nauzea, at times feels like a bruised stomach, pain got so intense once I thought I was having a heart attack.  I have had many tests as well.  Many medications have been tried and not succeeded.  It seems the Aloe Vera is the most common treatment among all here, I will try it.  Anything is worth a try.  I too am tired of the pain.  I have lost much weight (45 lbs.) without trying and am still losing. I have other medical problems including ulcerative colitis and asthma and arthritis.  I am 54.  Perhaps there were no recent responses but I am wondering how you are doing now?  Have you found anything that works?  Warm water seems to work for a short period of time, relieves the pain. Nothing else works except, of course, not eating.  Any food (although I eat very little and nothing to irritate stomach) still hurts my stomach.  The Dr's are not God and obviously do their best but sometimes do not find answers.  These conversations are good, perhaps we can learn from one another.  I live in Canada.  How are things going for everyone now?

It's very frustrating, I have done all sort of test, and doctors can't really help.

i have even done endoscopy two times during the last year, I'm still in pain all day and night, , ,I don't know what causing it, now I have been given drug  for anti depression, ofcourse if I be in pain for this long I will get depressed,,,. I am going to try it anyways, maybe I am depressed and I don't know myself and that's all into it. I really can't find answer for this pain.

i wish everyone who got this pain get well soon. And please keep forwarding for any tips that might help 

Dr Jenny!!!

I'm having a very similar pain.

I'm fighting through it but taking IBS tablets and having colonics but nothing helps

Thanks x

A couple days ago I was searching online about gastritis medication and how long it takes to work. I was researching this for my mother who has been experiencing the same symptoms that you and many others on this thread have been experiencing. My mother too had tests done, blood tests urine tests ect...when we were at the hospital, doctors couldn't figure out what could be causing the pain, she was given every drug the hospital had and the only one that took the pain away was morphine, in exchange for the pain subsiding, she was throwing up excessively from the morphine. My mother suggested it might be gastritis, so they sent her home with a prescription of Prilosec, with hope this would relieve all this pain she's been in. 3 days later, with the pain not subsiding or getting better we went to another hospital and waited 7 hours to be seen by a doctor. She had more tests done including a ct scan and luckily we had an answer to all her suffering. It was a swollen pancreas due to a stone blocking her pancreas. Apparently gall stones can still form even without a gall bladder. (My mom had hers removed several years ago) eating food brings on more pain because the stone is lodged in the way of food passing through. I hope my post may help someone. I literally read every post on this thread and felt for everyone of you, as soon as we found an answer I immediately thought about coming on here and posting about it. Take care All!

hi, i too suffer with this pain to the point im on my hands and knees,last year i had the anti biotics for the infection which seem to clear it but for passed few months has come back with avengence,im currently on lansaprozole but it as ni effect,im to the point where i dont want to eat as the pain worsens after food im at my wits end awaiting more gp appointments

I made an account just to write my story I hope it helps others I looked for years for relief on forums and finally found the problem, I suffered daily with bad stomach pains mainly just above the belly button the pains was daily and constant most times I couldn't sleep the pain was so bad I thought I had an ulcer, the only thing that helped was mylanta,

I went to many doctors I found out I am LACTOSE INTOLERANT, as soon as I stopped lactose products the misrable pain stopped I hope this helps others with this, I spent years in pain make sure you don't have food intolerances

I am having the same stomach problem and found this thred while searching for a reason of my stomach ache. The pain comes atleast once in a week and it is so severe. This thread is now older than one year so i am eager to know if somebody found any solution for this.
