I woke up 1 night with my stomach burning and it was going up to my mouth. It's been 2 months now and the burning is still in my stomach. Every now and then it disappears but it comes back. Sometimes it's on the upper left or right of my stomach, sometimes both. Also, recently in the middle sides of the abdomen. I have had diarrhea the past 2 months also. Sometimes its solid but mainly diarrhea. The doctor had given me prilosec otc to take but has not help my burning sensation. I need help. I have been eating clean also with bake salmon and steamed veggies. Spent money on slippery elm, marshmallow root, and licorice. I really need help. This feeling sucks!

    You'll have tp go back to the doctor. if you're not feeling any better there's nothing else you can do.

      I have. They did a blood draw, stool test, and 2 days ago, I had upper endoscopy. It sucks that I can't find out about the results until the 22nd of June. I'm just hoping and praying that it's nothing major. Please pray for me!

      My endoscopy came back negative. They didn't see any abnormalities either while they were in there. I really dont know what to do next. This sucks. I had another attack yesterday and still feel pain on the right side of my stomach and my back. I could feel it on my left side as well. Any recommendations?

    Glad the endoscopy came back clear,  just a long shot but could it be due to stress.  I suffer with stress and it has caused me more physical symptoms than you could imagine, diarrhoea, constipation, breathlessness. numbnessi in my feet. blurred vision I've also been prescribed omeprazole for heartburn also Gaviscon, had more blood tests than you could imagine, was also sent for a CT scan  and nothing has showed up.  I don't know what else to suggest.  I wish you all the best though.
