    Oh by the way... Dont leave your doctors office without a appointment for a gastroscopy! UK wait time is about 8 weeks wink

    Best wishes

    :D

    i went to the doctor the following afternoon, the pain was terrible!!

    i have a peptic ulcer, and now some gastro tablets to take. i had been in severe pain for several days but the tablets seem to have calmed it down well, just a little uncomfortable now.

    one thing i am concerned about now is constipation. i have not been to the toilet properly now for 7 days, i feel all blocked up and have tummy ache where i need to go but cant. i have been eating alot of fruit, muslie yogarts and salad, seafood but none of this has shifted me. is it the gastro tablets \"lansoprazole\" causing this or should i go back to the doctors yet again!!!!

    i feel like im being a hypercondriact at the moment but i rarely ever get ill, and this is somewhat nasty.... :?

    Good to see you are still alive! :shock: :D Yep its not nice at all sad

    Havent they given you any pain killers? Thats a bit stingy of them :D

    Well if they have (given you pain killers) its probably (more likely) those constipating you up smile

    Lactulose (after every meal) and Senna (at night) is what you want, also drink alot of water, high fibre foods,, im suprised the doctors didnt Picalax you (just in case) smile

    Lansoprazole is very good,, give your guts a few more days to cool down, all this ulcer and stuff is a bit harsh on them. You should end up in a OK'ish state :D

    If not, I guess the Melena (black poo) has compacted up, things could get a lot worse if you keep on stuffing food in,, you will need Hospital / Picalax smile

    See how it goes smile
