High acidity in stomach

I am 44 years old now living in South Korea. For last 10 years, I was suffering the problem of access gas in my lower abdomen. I was diagnosed by doctor with Colonoscopy, ultrasonogram, barium x-ray but found in normal condition. Finally, doctor gave me medicine ROSTIL, I took medicine but didn't get any result. Really, it was not big problem compared to present situation.

From 2007, August I experienced by a new disease. I was filling burning in my stomach and esophagus. In endoscopes it is reported normal stomach. Doctor gave me drugs (Nexium and some other). My esophagus burning is relaxed but still for last two years, I am facing the same burning in my stomach. Some times, I also am experiencing some pain on skin outside just above stomach. Really, it is terrible for me now-a-days. I also face too much discomfort in my upper abdomen.

I would be very much happy, if I get some solution.

Kind regards.

Long term acid issues left untreated can lead to different types of cancers...but if u see a dr and get treatment u should be ok....family history does play a role in this....but that is what can happen if u had a acid issue for a long period without treatment.......

Hi...I am sorry u r having these issues....may I ask if u had recent tests by ur dr?

It is possible u could have a few different things going on.Sometimes too little acid can feel like too much, so with out testing it is difficult to tell.

Ask about probiotics....and even eating an apple a day may help u .......

Do u feel bloated at all?
