I was diagnosed with GERD a few years back. I have been on a PPI for 5-6 years. My stomach bugs me often and it feels more like gastritis than GERD, it feels irritated more than having GERD symptoms, but I have a really weird symptom which I have shared with my GI doc but he doesn't seem to excited about it. Sometimes when I drink cold liquids I can feel the cold water hit my stomach and the cold sensation radiates in my GI vault. I can find nothing on the internet about this bizzare symptom. Does anybody know what this means. Is my srtomach mucosa thinned down to the nerves, am I headed to stomach cancer? It really scare me even though my last visit to the GI doc said my stomach problems on a scale of 1-10 are about a 3. I see him again next week. I may ask him to scope me again.
Also, I am wondering if being on a PPI this long is a dead end road?
Pokey
