Ok thanks ill try all those you mentioned, your a big help
Yeah...coffee, spaghetti or, anything with tomato sauce and other heavy foods will aggrevate it even more. Trust me, I know what you mean about spaghetti and that kind of food...I love it too. I'm a lover of just about all things spicy...a real no-no. Try the Prilosec or Prevacid also take a liquid antacid like Maalox before each meal, this helps as well.
Good luck!
Thanks for the information..i always thought it was an ulcer although like i said before i am no doctor. To answer your question yes i would say its worse after i eat, but does seem to bother me after my moring coffee and flares up off and on during the day. i did notice i had lots of gas and burning when i had spegehtti lastnight, you would think i would know better eating that type of food, but its hard becasue i love that type of food so much. I do take zantac but to me thats more for heartburn and i do think that prevaicd does help with ulcers? so i will try something like that and i did hear the pepto-bismouth works good too!
Does the pain get worse after you eat? It sounds like you have some of the symptoms of a duodenal ulcer. Try over the counter Prevacid or Prilosec, then also, make an appointment with a Gastroenterologist. I had some of the same symptoms and went to a Gastroenterologist and had an EGD (endoscopy) where a scope was used to look at my stomach to see what was going on and it was as I expected...an ulcer. You may need to have the same test...don't worry you'll be sedated.
