| anyone with stomach problems?? i have a very sensitive stomach and if i don't keep food in it.. the top of my stomach starts to burn intensly.. so i'm good at avoiding an empty stomach... however yesterday, starting in the afternoon (i'd already had lunch) my stomach started to burn and hasn't stopped since... i've taken antacids... i have a lot of food in my stomach... i can't figure out what to do... if i just stay still. it feels fine.. it's when i make fast movement or bend over that i feel it.. usually a rolaids.. some crackers and a glass of milk fix it.. but not today anyone with similar problems??? |

| YES! I landed in the ER last month with symptoms like this, but way worse! I am going through some serious stress right now, more than I have ever experienced in my life and it is taking a toll on my body big time! The pain in my stomach was so intense I thought I was going to die! I thought something was seriously wrong... My husband thought I had some serious internal something It turns out it was Gastritis (sp?) Basically my stomach was seriously over producing acid causing damage to itself. Its VERY painful. So after 9+ hours and a TON of tests they sent me home on a few meds and it took two weeks for me to level out and feel ok. Its ok now but it flares up depending on what's happening with everything, but for the most part, if I can relax, I can keep it at bay. A good Temp Patch!! My doctor gave me this one to use in a pinch... Till the Rx kicked in and if I ever needed it..... Take Gaviscon, the liquid for Fast on the spot relief, it works in like two minutes! but only lasts a short while, so just after you take that you can follow that with a Prilosec OTC (sp?) its in the purple box.. It will cover you for 8 hours... That way you get the fast cure and your good for 8 hours... If its really bothering you and has for a while... Which it sounds like it has been GET IT CHECKED OUT!!!!

| You need to see your docotor and be tested for H. pylori. That is a bacteria that can live in your stomach and it causes ulcers. It can be very painful but there is medicine for it. There is a couple different combinations of medicine that can be prescribed, ususally a couple different antibiotics along with an antacid. I hope you feel better. If it is H.pylori it only gets worse. |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Sounds like an ulcer to me. They do sell some over the counter pills to help if you want to try that first. Like that purple pill. Can't think of it's name right now.

| Until you can get to the doc (and you should go) Pepcid Complete is DA BOMB! It works fast like a tums, then keeps working for hours. It's a little pricey, but when you consider that you're only taking one or two a day, it's not that bad. I hope you get some relief soon, ouch!

| Stomach Problems First of all the worst thing you can do is self diagnos yourself..... It will do nothing but stress you out more....... 2nd I have been dealing with serious stomach problems for two years now.....they come and go..... I have IBS which is very painful, and at the moment 2 ulcers in my stomach and a hiatal hernia..... My pain is always only bad if, Like you said, I am moving around. I take zelnorm for my ibs, and nexium for heartburn, and levisin and reglan if my pain gets to bad.... I suggest that you go to a gastroentoligist, i think that is how is is spelled.... And dont stress yourself out, or let things stress you out. Stress can make your body fall apart. So stay calm and relaxed and got to the doctor asap! I hope you feel better soon!

| Yes. In fact, right I'm thinking I might throw up the Taco Bell I had for lunch. What was I thinking? I get sick everytime I eat there. Sorry. That was kind of gross. Hope you feel better soon.
