Heartburn and Lower abdominal pain (around belly button) last 1.5 years
Posted , 1 user is following.
I have few questions if you guys don’t mind.
A year and a half ago I developed heart burn after a fatty meal and stressful day at work. A month later developed lower abdominal pain around my umbilicus. It’s been about a year and half and still have this abdominal pain (dull discomfort, gnawing) and doctors diagnosed with h pylori which I was treated for, ibs, fuctional dyspepsia, but really they couldn’t put their finger on it. A lot of my family members have had their gallbladder removed. My new gi doc had me get an abdominal ultrasound which found gallstones. She said my symptoms: lower abdominal pain, and heartburn (which could be bile reflux) are caused by these gallstones. Has anyone else had symptoms present like this? I’d hate to get my gallbladder taken out just to still remain symptomatic as it was something else? I will be getting a hida scan next week, that will possibly give more evidence…
Secondly I wonder if intense never ending heartburn that first month, possibly screwed with my gut brain axis and pain signaling?
