Hi I am having a lot of pain in my stomach just under neath my boobs I was told that it is to do with the acid in my reflux .

Hi, sorry to hear you are suffering at the moment. A good way to find out if it could be acid reflux causing the pain is to try Gaviscon after meals and at bedtime for a few days and see if it helps relieve it. Also, anxiety makes reflux worse and I think many people (including myself) find flare ups around Christmas time. Good luck, hope it resolves soon.

I have the same symptom along with daily heartburn. It’s been three months now. I had it before 6 years ago and it was gastritis and esophagitis. I’m waiting for appointments next month for an endoscopy and GI doctor. You need to see a GI, as well. PPIs or H2 blockers may help you, but they did not help me. I also developed a B12 deficiency and now have weekly shots. Gaviscon does temporarily relieve the symptoms. I’ve started twice a day cabbage juicing after reading about gut healing qualities. On day three, so far no noticeable differences.

I do see a G doctor

You may need to take an H2 Pump, or more probably a PPI until things resolve. If you're not seeing a gastro, you should.

Hi, I too get this pain, so I either can’t wear a bra or wear very stretchy elastic sports one (2 sizes bigger than us). I assume you are female !!
