ive been experiencing alot of stomach problems lately..acid reflux, heartburn, stomach aches, gassy, constipation.
What can i do or take to feel better??

My son has GERD n spits up a lot n every often. He’s also has trouble with pooping so when he does the restroom it’s mostly a very full diaper. So I shower him to clean him. It also calms him but I’m scared that I can be damaging his skin. I use aveeno n use cream every day on him. Would that help in keeping his skin from drying out? Is it okay to shower him everyday?

Hi,

I’m 24 years old, male and suffer from terrible heartburn. I’m slightly overweight but not obese. I have recently, since the beginning of March, taken up a new diet/excercise regime after being told by my GP that I have high blood pressure, I quit smoking 3 years ago, I do not drink tea or coffee and have replaced cola and other fizzy drinks with water and fresh fruit juice. I do up to 150 squats a day as well as a 2 mile run twice a week, I also play golf every day (This doesn’t sound like much but it involves a LOT of walking and full upper body workout) I eat less junk food than ever before yet my heartburn seems to have got WORSE. Can anyone help?? What am I doing wrong?

Is heartburn common in early pregnancy? and does anyone know ways to treat it?

I added Alba Clamshell, Trumpet Royale & Forest Namedo mushrooms to a salad and within 30 minutes had severe gastrointestinal pain that lasted for over 4 hours. I slept but in the morning I still had residual heartburn, strange headache and flushing of face & neck with a hive itch feeling.

Could this be an allergic reaction?

We do know that he doesn’t have crohns disease. the Dr. says it’s GERD. I don’t believe this. I have GERD. and the symptoms aren’t the same. Has doesn;t have acid choking him to death. It is chronic pain in his stomach. And only in his stomach.I hope someone can enlighten me so I can get him some real help. It’s hard to see a 9 year old child having these kinds of pains.
He has ADHD. He doesn’t take medicine because he had so many side effects. he has some problems in school. But it’s with reading and writing. As far as it goes with home. he has it made. It’s not gastritis. I don’t know which wat to turn
It’s not Crohn’s. His markers came back negative. When I take him back to the doctor I’ll ask his to test him for the Diverticulitis. This is more common in people over 60. But it’s worth a try to have it done.

i NEVER have burning sensation or pain.
so i always thought my digestive problems is definitely not heartburn or reflux. after some research on internet i think it might be. my symptoms: almost constantly bloated upper stomach (right under rib cage) – doesn’t look bloated at all but i feel like i’ve swallowed a baloon. the pressure sometimes moves to my chest or lower abdomen. my lower abdomen looks like i’m pregnant. all this is not affected by any particular food. it’s only gone in the morning but as soon as i swallow something it starts again.
over the counter antacids doesn’t work. i also saw many doctors any had many tests, everything was ok.

does this sound like it could be heartburn? anything else? any help will be appreciated.

Back in April I started having chest pain and trouble breathing. I went to the ER and had a chest x-ray. The doctor told me I had shadowing in the bottom my lungs, and said it might be pneumonia. He gave me antibiotics and told me to get a follow up x-ray with my primary care doctor. I took my antibiotics and went to my primary care doctor who refused to do a chest x-ray, saying I had a simple case of pleurisy.

The pain and breathing difficulties come and go, but two to three weeks ago got suddenly worse. I went to a walk-in clinic and had another x-ray. The doctor there told me I had calcified spots in my lungs, but said they were common and nothing to worry about. She sent a referral to a Pulmonologist, but I won’t get in until September.

Nothing is wrong with my heart, so I assume it’s my lungs. What is wrong with me? I’m so tired of this. I just want to feel better.

My chest pain is in the center and it feels like a crushing kind of pain…like a rock is sitting on my chest. I can breathe small breaths, but I can’t take in deep breaths. It feels like something is stopping me. Once in a while I can take a normal deep breath but it feels very restricted and difficult to do.

I am a 21 year old female, non-smoker. I know this is not anxiety and I haven’t been stressed. Could acid reflux/GERD cause this? I’ve had an endoscopy that ruled it out but I’ve had some burning in my throat lately.
My chest pain and breathing troubles never go away but sometimes they are mild and sometimes severe, and when I try to take deep breaths I get VERY dizzy like I’m about to faint.
I don’t know if this matters or not….but my recent x-ray showed I have Scoliosis. My x-ray in April did not show any signs of Scoliosis at all.
It’s not lupus. My grandmother had it and I was tested for it back in January. I don’t have lupus.
I have been tested repeatedly for Lupus. I know I don’t have it. I’ve watched the signs for it all of my life. These problems are not signs of Lupus.

Hello everyone. Beginning in Mid-June I came down with pregnancy like symptoms, heartburn, acid reflux, change in BM’s, nausea, the whole nine yards. I went through a slew of diagnostics & finally in August was diagnosed with a seriously nasty case of H. Pylori. I hadn’t developed an ulcer just yet however there were many sores forming on my stomachs lining. I finished my antibiotics about one month ago but am still showing mild symptoms, especially with nausea. I am not pregnant as I have taken a doctors test twice to rule that out so back to the gastroenterologist I go tomorrow. I’m just curious if this could now be an ulcer or if it’s possible the H. Pylori wasn’t knocked out with the 10 days of antibiotics. Any enlightenment? Thanks!
I did a Flagyl run but it was something specific for H Pylori, I forget the name, all I know is it was 14 pills a day, horse sized pills. Thanks for the input, I’ll have to see what he says tomorrow, just anxious!
