Just know the testing could be wrong as it was in my dad's case....keep pushing for answers.....
What about your grandparents, aunts and uncles?.....
Acid reflux, tasting it can be related to diverticulitis....when you have a flare, it could be an infection...there is a diet just as with GERD we need to avoid certain foods or they will cause a flare of symptoms too.
Keep us posted on your progress .
Ohhh and my mom has had her gall bladder removed. That's pretty much it.
I want to thank you for your reply! The only way I've had my gall bladder checked is via ultrasound and according to my doctor, it's negative. I read up on diverticulitis and I can definitely relate to the symptoms. To add to those symptoms however, I get the bitter/acid taste in my mouth frequently and earlier on I used to get a burning stomach feeling but that seems to have subsided. Right now I still have the nausea, the tenderness in the ascending colon area and the headaches/eye tiredness as well as frequent feelings of just feeling overall sick. I will definitely keep my doctor in the loop on all of this.
Hi and welcome to the GERD forum,
Have you looked to your families medical history?....And had your Gall Bladder checked? It took close to 6 times to the ER for my dad to finally get the Drs to listen and it was his GB which they ruled out but he kept telling them.,...,he also developed H.Pylori post op....
I only mention GB since it was a long drawn out process that the Drs did not seem to notice for my dad,...so I wonder if it could have been over looked for you as well.....
Another issue could be diverticulitis.....my dad has that too and his complaints are similar to yours....
Do look at your diet and how active or inactive you may be as they could be contributing to how you are feeling as well.
Do keep us posted on your progress. and take your meds as directed by your Dr....praying you feel better soon.
