I have been diagonsed with espohagitis. I have had upper right quadrent pain for 1 year now. taking omperazole 20mg 4x a day and amitriplyine 2x. I am sick of taking 6 pills a day. had a hida scan and gall bladder is at 35% was told will not remove until it reaches 15%. i just went threw a ph test and motlity test. have been waiting for results. i am told that the gall bladder and heartburn are not related. Both symptoms started last year at the same time and have been suffering with stomach pain, nausea so bad i got dehydrated because i could not eat, i feel weak and tired all the time, loose stools that look yellowish in color, and still having heartburn despite the 4 times a day i take omperzole. I have tried changing my diet. I get heartburn sometimes from drinking water. i have had just about every test imagineable. There is a history of espohagitis in my family along with colitis. not sure if its my gall bladder causing this or family history. After the ph test i have been coughing up a lot of plhem and have had coughing fits that feel like i am choking this happends randomly..wishing it would be over i am so sick of not feeling good and no answers!
