When I eat it burns and burns all in between my shoulder blades and all through down my back. Antacids and Pips aren't helping. Nor Gaviscon. I cry a lot. Does anyone else have such pain. It can last for hours and is worse at night

Contact your GP urgently. Every time you feel a burning sensation part of your oesophagus is being damaged. The burning pain you feel is a warning that something is wrong, and needs to be put right. Omeprazole, I have found is a good form of relief, but it can take a couple of days to build up a resistance to the burning. To assist you when going to sleep, do not lay flat, always use three or more pillows and when you go to bed, try to remain in a sitting position. The only thing I will say about the omeprazole is, that I have found, the make up of Dr Reddy's formula for them does not work for me, so you may have to try a few different brands. Also, I would ask my GP for a referral to a GI (Gastro-Intestinal) Consultant to find out what and why you have the heartburn, and indeed, what damage has it already caused? Good luck.
Thankyou Freedman. I am going to ask to see a gatroenterkogist as the esomaprazole, ranatadine etc does nothing. I also have a hiatus hernia which they won't operate on. Thankyou for replying to my post
I can sympathize with you. I'm on ranitide morn & night & nexium every second day. I also have a hernia. I have same pains as you plus the heartburn. Nearly every night I find myself swigging gavisgon or chewing rennies. My teeth are a mess. Every second year I go through seeing the specialist & then off for tube down the throat (& up the other end for good measure! 😁 . Then back to specialist who tells me that the condition of my oesophagus has deteriorated. Then I go home & take the same meds & wait 2yrs for my next useless appointment/exploration. I sincerely hope you have a better outcome. xx
Hi RobbieT thanks for that. Yes....useless appointments I agree. I've had this for 4 years and no-one seems to know how to heal it as your meds like mine don't seem to be helping. It's very painful and i often can't go out, or go out in pain. The only respite I do get is night time when I take my sleeping tablets. I'm 70 this year. I pray for help and cry a lot with burning pain. I do so empathise with you and it was so nice of you to reply. I live in the UK. Linda
It's all so frustrating. Now they want to take me off fentanyl patch (fibromyalgia, sciatica, bulging disc, arthritis in spine) but have nothing to offer in it's place. I've been through so many meds. Now the government is stopping fentanyl because of addiction based on USA stats. These stats of course are mainly based on illegal use. I'm 63yrs & live in Australia. At least here, Linda, we can share & vent our pain & frustration. xx
Oh poor you. You do suffer a lot. I have slow bowel transit to and take tonnes of laxatives but they hardly work. Hoping to get a follow up appointment with colonoscopy registrar as it's all backed up again despite eating healthy. My GP gave me a pain med patch but it never helped with the terrible burning all through on eating. It is all sooo frustrating I agree. I wish there was another patch they could try you on. Yes at least this site helps us to chat to people with health issues and vent frustration. You must be in a lot of pain too. So nice to hear from you all the way in Ozzie land!!!
Yes it's the illegal use of pain killers but if the patch was helping you it's disgusting they don't have another to give you. No pain meds help me so I don't take them...waste of time and half don't do the stomach any favours Linda
I sometimes wonder if any of these GPs & specialists have ever suffered any illness or pain!! I'm also on meds for anxiety/depression. Any wonder!!!! I suppose one day they'll stop them too. Xx
Hi it's good to talk to you. I am on antidepressants because of 4 years of this pain. No I don't think sometimes...a lot of times...the GPS and consultants have a clue what being in this horrendous pain is like. Nothing is healing me. I took an overdose twice in the last years because of it. I also have bowel problems so it's the whole of my digestive tract. There are many days I just don't want to eat. I have a dog and 2 cats and two grown children living elsewhere. I get a bit agrophobic and if I've been out I just want to get home due to pain. Thanks Robbie for sharing. You are not alone. Linda
Hi Linda. I'm mildly agrophobic too!!
My anxiety/depression med is Endep. Knocks me out of a night (depending on my pain level). The fibromyalgia gives me restless legs - i sit up, lay down, toss, tutn, blanket on, blanket off etc If this happens i usually have to resort to diazapam too. I also usually take one if I really have to leave the house.
But on a positive note my friend drove me to an essential oil workshop yesterday where I made myself a calming mixture of lavender, ylang ylang, geranium, cedarwood & jojoba. (With guidance from an expert, of course.) Not sure if it will actually work but going out & mixing with a few other women for a couple of hours did me the world of good!
The young girl who organised it actually went & got a cushion & popped it behind my back. Kindness is a good 'healer' too!!!
Hi it's funny but I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and restless legs years ago too!! I don't sleep so take Clonoazepam. Zopiclone and Phenergan at night. They knock me out but I still often wake at 1, or 4 then just try to sleep but it's not a deep sleep. It takes a lot to knock me out. If I get up at 6 or 6.30 I have my cereal then go back to bed for hopefully another hour. But like you I take Diazepam and felt all panicky this morning (I guess cos I know pain lies ahead on eating) and I never used to need them. You had a lovely trip out mixing all those oils and meeting friends. Sadly I only have a couple of friends and only people I see at church. That gets me out but I had to leave early yesterday as the burning was so bad and I just wanted to get home. The weather here at present is miserable so that doesn't help. Mostly I just sit and watch t.v. or lie down when I get such pain on eating or feeling anxious. My dear dog is so good and she's content to lie down all day until I take her out. I've never heard of that med you take which knocks you out. What's the full name of it? Perhaps we don't have it in the UK!!
I've got one lovely friend who is the only one who never gave up on me. Sadly she lost her husband 2yrs ago & her mum last Christmas so she is living life to the fullest (in a good way) & has made many friends along the way, so I don't get to see her as much as I'd like. I feel so frustrated as I used to do all that stuff with her (going to markets, writers festivals, long red wines & dvd nights etc)
The Endep med I take is amitriptyline. It's an antidepressant. I take 60mg.
Like you I usually sit in my chair watching tv or lay on bed reading. But I did go to the chemist by myself last week & last Friday I drove down to look at the ocean. Bloody painful but totally worth it.
Could one of the church ladies at least take you for a short drive? Robbiexx
Yes kindness helps a lot. Then Christian women I know from church are kind but none of them ring me to see how I am or ask me out for a coffee. I do get very lonely and never suffered agrophobic before. It could be a mixture of the drugs that have affected me Linda
I never even thought it might be the meds making me less sure of myself out in the 'real' world. I see a psychologist who taught me how to tap into acupunture points in order to calm myself. You can find articles & directives on it online. I've forgotten the technical name for it - but 'tapping for anxiety' or something similiar should bring it up. It doesn't always help but I still keep on with it. Rob xx
Yep as a long term sufferer with acid it's imperative to find out what's causing this reflux, I would imagine that you'll be given a camera down your throat, I'm on omeprazole now for the rest of my life, the acid can cause many problems including an ulcer, you'd get a pain that comes on in waves and would slightly go away when you burp, and possibly feel hungry all the time, avoid drinking milk as this curdles in the stomach, you think it will calm the acid down but it does the opposite, I have had numerous problems with my stomach over the years,the acid is intolerable and can cause problems, I sympathise with how your feeling and I know its not pleasant, also do not mix over the counter remedies with each other, I found gaviscon and the peptic liquids did not solve my problems, however just a word of caution if you are placed onto omeprazole for a long period of time just keep an eye on your vitamin B12 as this tablet along with other medicines can affect how your the acids react in your stomach, it's a small price to pay to relieve you from the relentless burning and discomfort, hopefully you'll be able to eat and enjoy life a little better, don't smoke, and avoid alcohol as this is causes the stomach to become irritated, hopefully you'll feel better soon, good luck.
Hello thankyou so much for your kind reply. Yes I've had an endoscope. But mine burns all in between my shoulders and all down my back. I don't get heartburn or burping. I agree with you about milk and not smoking. My pain can go on for hours and I'm hoping to see a gastroenterlogist as the ranatadine and esomaprazole doesn't stop it. I've had oesophagitis and gastritis for 4 years or more. I dread eating ha ha !!
Hi your friend sounds nice. It is frustrating when you used to do all those things. You must live quite near the ocean. No none of my ladies would ever dream of asking me out. They all have other friends and busy full lives.
Do you sleep well on the Amitryptiline? At least you got out. I do have to get my shopping and walk the dog...as you said...bloody painful. I'm supposed to be going to a lunch club for dinner first time today. They eat at 12 ish but I'm dreading it...the eating part. Also I've become quite withdrawn and when in such burning pain I find it hard to smile and be chatty. Now my bowels are backing up again and all I'm getting again is by pass diarrhoea and when they did my colonoscopy they removed over a litre as the prep solution didn't work. I'm waiting for a follow up appointment. It's raining here today...no sunshine!!!
I just wondered if you do sleep right through on the Amitryptiline?,?Linda
I have recently had this after over a year of a 'sore throat' and not realising that it was 'silent reflux'.
The pain you are feeling in that area could be because the nerves that report back to our brain as to where the pain is sometimes do a poor job. that is it tells the brain that the pain it between our shoulder blades when in fact it is being caused by something in our oesophagus.
You have probably already done this but keep a food diary and a symptom diary and try to see what it is that is causing it. It will be something different for everyone so don't just go on what others say. For sleeping, try raising the hight of the head of the bed by putting it on blocks. Also try not to eat in the evening, and I take it you are using Gaviscon? There are different varieties and I found that one worked better for me than the others. The same with PPIs, there are different kinds and there might be another one that works better for you. And eating small amounts at a time works for some people.
The last thing, are you or were you hyper mobile? Have you been evaluated for a connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos? This sort of problem is often found in EDS and many people go for years not realising they have this.
No I'm not hyper mobile. I see what you mean about nerve endings. I'll keep a diary. I also have dumping syndrome so juggling the food is difficult as I also have slow bowel transit!! What a life eh!! Gaviscon doesn't help much but I take it. I have to have a low fat diet as I've had pancreatitis. It's hard to know what to eat if I go out for a meal as a lot of vegan stuff I like has cheese in it and a lot of places now serve veg braised in oil. I used to love my food and could eat anything. It does get me quite down a lot but hey ho I just have to adapt best I can. I do sleep on 4 pillows but am unable to raise my bed as I don't have anyone to help me lift it. This web site has been good as it's nice to talk to others who have similar problems then I don't feel quite so alone with these issues. I hope you stay pain free most days. Thankyou Linda
In one of your posts you mention you are vegan. Are you getting enough B12? Have you tried vitamin B complex. Digestive problems can mean that vitamin B producing bacteria in the gut may not be present in sufficient quantities for for vitamin B requirements.
I am not knowledgeable on nutrition so cannot advise. I am wondering if your muscle control system is not working correctly due to excess pressure on nerves. I can only suggest investigation. A McTimony chiropractor can help confirm or deny that you need help with this issue.
Alexander Technique can help with muscle control.
My thinking is along the lines of your stress is probably rather high. If one can get it down perhaps things will function better. The body is an engineering system consisting of several sub systems which interact with each other in unpredictable ways. If the stress is above the stress breakdown point then the systems breaks down. If the stress can be moved below the stress breakdown point then the system functions even if with difficulty.
Hi sorry I'm not actually a vegan but I have to have a low fat diet and there are vegan dishes I like but many have cheese and spices in and it says to avoid Spicey foods . Yes my stress levels are high due to four years of terrible burning pain on eating. I may try and ask for another endoscope as it seems to have got worse and Pips don't help. You are very knowledgeable and it is also probably nerve endings on top of oesophagitis and gastritis...It all gets inflamed. Thankyou for your kind reply and taking time Linda
Hi, I used to have those symptoms when I was younger. Got diagnosed like you with reflux but meds didn't work. Eventually I decided to go to A and E (as whenever saw GP pain had subsided). I then got the diagnosis of cholecystitis. (I was young, fit and healthy weight so not typical presentation). I had gall bladder removed and hey presto pain gone. So maybe when pain at worst go to A and E and the Dr's can then get a more accurate picture of what is going on and you might get a diagnosis and ultimate cure quicker. Good luck.
Hi yes I've thought of going to a and e when pain is so bad but I don't get it at night as I take sleeping tablets. Thankyou for replying. I hope things get better for you
Hi sorry to hear you’re in so much pain and discomfort. I can sympathise with you as I had similar problems last year. I was diagnosed with gallstones and had to have my gallbladder removed. however, I’ve been suffering with silent reflux for some time and had an endoscopy last week and it has shown my stomach is very inflamed. I’m being tested for H-Pylori which I’ve had a few time over the years. I also think there may be a stone attached to my liver as I’m still suffering in pain on my right side and horrendous bloatiness a year after surgery. I’ve recently had a CT SCAN with radiation to check that area for any loose stones. (Awaiting results) I can’t have an MRI scan due to having spinal cord rod stimulation fitted.
There is a lot of good advice given on here. I hope you get some answers soon.
Take care!
Hi thankyou. I too had a gallbladder op and it all got worse since then. I have inflammation of the oesophagus and stomach but the meds don't help. I had a scope last May and am hoping they'll give me another as it's got worse. It disabled me quite a lot and is always worse by the end of the day. I also have a hiatus hernia and dumping syndrome
Hi basten I also get gastric pain I’m under investigation at the hospital but what they have found out with me is I have a hiatus hernia which I was taking loads of over the counter ant acids nothing worked ...... so after a camera test they found this hiatus hernia and the doctor put me on lansoprazole and my life has been so much improved also opremazole is good too and if things get really bad then I have redititine !!! ......but first basten please go see your doctor that’s the first step !!! Hope this helped !!!
To get immediate relief, I drink sodium bicarbonate/ baking soda in water.
I do take PIP. I do have a hiatal hernia and gastritis and zi am being scheduled for ph test
hi, my brother and I both developed stomach problems after covid. I have lifelong gastritis so am on nexium for life. However I developed oesophagitis after covid and it’s horrible . Had 2 scopes and doctors just say I’ve no lining on my stomach so more nexium and watch the diet. I’m trying glutamine which my brother says healed his stomach ( he had covid 2 years ago, me just 3 months ago) . Also avoiding dairy and wheat. I’m also taking a good over the counter probiotic. If the gut is not working it can cause acid all over and that leads to joint pain and other immune disorders. 2 tips I received from healers, 1 - mashed potatoes and carrots with real butter ( butter has an enzyme which heals lining) and for bad oesophagitis, wash a raw potato, don’t peel, chop into cubes and pour boiling water on in a cup. When cool enough , drink the liquid, it’s full of the vitamins that cures the gastritis that causes oesophagitis. Worth a try. I feel your pain. I also have Graves’ disease, hernia and about to get a new hip so I’d say my gut has caused all this. X
hello havent been here a long long time.
Awful to know you have this still and worse..i still do and now all my stomach is inflammed.. now..does it feel when you eat that food in stomach ages and like a rope around chest and mine still 4 hrs later burns inflammed in back all evening..i fell off the wagon a lot..i had this years yes..I had a GES study and they said normal . But its worse he not interested..do you bloat?? Im bloating everything and its often bloated stilla.m.
I came off 2 meds a z drug abd Mirtazapine. Since off mirtazapine i waje nose blocked one side white tongue, sniffing , constsnt saliva, swallowing and can taste yesterdays chicken etc. And in day sniffing loads saliva. G.i said its my dismotility of esoohagus probably and goes up and affects nose..i said no!! Had that years woth esophagus, never this ever..i shouldn't be waking tasting my food..he seeing me in 6 months,!! Desoir my sending emails which he of course ignored.. gp said not thrush.. shes given me some antihistamines and s patch to wear behind ear to stop excess saliva,!!! Its crazy. And im still waking with saliva and tasting yesterdays food or in day hrs later and pain every day now. Had a ige blood said no allergies but yes off some meds can increase histamine..Mirtazapine blocks it..ive lost weight..now on one med at night a benzo for sleep maybe thats loosening my LOS no idea.. The saliva etc is my stomach im sure ..but still sniffing even after 2 antihistamines which i really didn't wanr to take.. my pain is worse if sugars high and all time they dropping, or whatever pancreas does. I had an elastaise stool test all ok but i hadnt eaten fat. I experimented and ate bacon ( yes not good for us ) and 3 days later a big bowl of porridge type poop and oil slick on water. My son came and we had cheesecake 2 days ( yes i know its bad but i.get so fed up after years like you ) 3 days later again same as after bacon . I am very tired and severely constipated despite my laxs. Usually gas gas gas abd pebble dash loo or bit of d.. i decided to do.a gut microbiome stool at home..it says sugar in poop, leaky guy dysbiosis and high calprolactin. Told g.i and he said depends how high ill do a test check. Did that . He obviously not worried as i never heard so i asked gp..oh yes it is quite high i will write to him see if he thinks you sjould see someonez as yoi had a colonoscopy 3 yesrs ago. Ive not heard anythinf from him..and when he wrote he said he suggested FODMAP to me..no he didnt.. he said maybe we aill do anither SHAPE study , as i have slow bowel. Abd had i seen a dietician...no..I thought he was going to arrange but heard nothing and no mention in his lettler to GP. Said in it "she feels its the mirtazapine and benzo" !!! Im left suffering even tho.i told him and gp.its worse..and gp re stool stuff if eaten fat. I keep falking asleep if eat and carbs i.e cornflakes so cut out now. If I cut too many my weight will.plumet. im 73 yes but all skin hanging shrivelled bad my whole arms and thighs digusting too..my older friends have a few bits but not like me. Ive bombarded my gp with letters telling all..she used to call etc and has tried. It seems ill have to buy a privatr elastaise stool and eat fat see what happens, when i go..if i go.
So on top.of all.i have, now researching trying low histsmine foods. But says meat fish should be flash frozen or chicken..its sooo expensive , as supermarket etc it sits on shelf too long and ages to reach too, which increases histamine which cause pain inflammation.
Yes if im in pain my whole bad leg where rod and screws is agony too..I have no other g.i to go too as they all rewd his notes and will say you have GERD take ppis,! He said they're to me. if take.
I ate porridge, some pain..at 11.30 late..at 4.30 tiny thin bits beef veg and gravy ( im just craving fat) it just got tightrt by late and again hungry!! Ate some bread x 2 , felt better then just stayed tight all around right up to midnight burning awful..
Rob on here years ago dont know if he gets these messages still..if so how are you now ..3 years ago we spoke.
I have read re potato.juice too thanks
My gp knows
Hi I've just seen your post. I have gastritis and oesophagitis as well as underactive thyroid and anxiety. I'm in constant pain. I've tried several meds but I can't tolerate many. This gastritis has caused severe anxiety. I've been housebound for months now because I feel so poorly. You sound like you've had a rough ride over the years and I really sympathise.
yes and half I know why. I think.it is the clonzapam . I was worse when I had to stop it when had pancreatitis boxing day 2015. cause unknown . My pain eating got worse and worse for months all burning . I can't remember exactly but then there was no fb groups etc and I never had any idea about them till 2020. They can cause gastritis and a whole host of awful symptoms for years ,and we don't know its them , tapering off too bad and when off months of body brain cns to restore itself..They calm the GABA receptors in brain etc. but off the Mirtazapine and the zopiclone 2021 each reduction the pain burning eating was again awful . and then the Mirtazapine I found blocks histamine which the stomach I think uses or something . So I am left with stacks of saliva since off Mirtazapine constant swallowing still wake awful taste and nose part blocked . But benzos can cause too excess salivation and relax the LES I've read ..ENT said all OK it's your stomach . Big set to with gastro and I have been honest with him said I just want it checked as I have never had all this salivation frothy sputum ..never. He has agreed a ct scan but was quick.to.remimd me I have seen gastros and had scans and nothing except bowels full and gas..He thought 2021 that my bowels were preventing from emptying stomach but been constipated years and never felt full. And I told him I just want it all checked and another scope (he refuses ) as said its worse since March and to put my mind at rest as still the pppis make it worse. and I now am bad if eat porridge bread cornflakes all.carbs or any sugar.. my food is less and less .looking back here I thought omg 4 yrs ago I wrote that and it all makes sense . I had 6 months of eating anything back.on clonezepam zopiclone amityp rispetidone Mirtazapine after I had a bad interaction on a med they gave me which sent me ott . still over all this time did not know what they were or that should never be given long term . . by Xmas 2019 I started to feel full and put on weight due to the Mirtazapine . I.thouggt it was the risperidone so.i came off it. Voila .pain eating back. then amitryp I stopped and pain worse for days eating . I have tried reducing the benzo but I am in agony eating worse . I do not understand it and many tapering just say they have g.i issues.. they don't have gastritis etc..I looked up.withdrawals off benzos and the list is endless what horrors they do some aren't even listed , and my gp.like many have no.idea . The Mirtazapine has caused lots and after a year off its the same symptoms pain horrendous eating now histamine intolerance and leaky gut dybiosis and still slow bowel . I seem after so.long to.have put 2 and 2 together after talking to people on fb benzo sites and googling . one symptom.that benzos can cause is...gastritis ! I have to say tho after my gb op 2015 my pain was not good eating and did have bile gastritis ..too. I am stuck as I know I have to.get off and it will take me 10 months and each reduction I.will.suffer when I eat plus other things and severe insomnia..I am.scared ~everyday still..eat and pain and often suddenly.by evening I get anxious legs kicking non stop all while I am feel food digesting..but it is if eaten sugar or carbs ..excitable . I wish I had stayed on 5 meds now except Mirtaz as no.pain. Some do OK on Mirtazapine it just made me eat crave and weight gain . angry that my GPS kept giving these meds . It odd as if the clonazepam is causing all this it never did on it no excess saliva etc The man here said have butter with mash as butter helps heal stomach Another lady said same . So.i.am.going to have some butter and see...I do not understand why.ppis don't me. .the answer is if you have gastritis it can take long time to heal.and The Healing Gastritis book.by L Capellan explains far more than any gastro. It's hard and you have to sadly forgo.all food you.enjoyed no smoking alcohol spices choc fatty fried food etc spices and not nice watching everyone drinking coffee and scoffing..The Acid Watchers Diet.i believe they say is good.. What suits one doesn't another Famotigen..?? But if ever you come off you wean off and you will feel worse maybe but its stomach trying to.adjust. long term.use can cause SIBO or b12 vit defincy but that can be rectified .don't worry The other things are slippery elm .. and what the gent here said his brother taken glutamine?, . I am so sorry you are poorly . . It will make you not want to go out if down and in pain .. I know . If you cut off from everyone you feel more alone . And think why me . Don't let doctors fob you off and discuss how you feel and naybe thyroid med needs adjusting??, It takes determination to rise above pain . You are you and need to eat something higher than a pH of 5 always . . gastros and doctors answers to everything is ppis.. but some do take years and seem OK . if just acid different to gastritis . if you have fb there's the gastritis UK group and thyroid groupd,I forgot about this site and have bee still scared to eat and fed up.and voila I.am reading all.about myself thanks to.you and thinking.omg nothings changed except the sniffing salivation nose blocking ears ring.etc.. I did not follow the gastrirs no eating rules and made mine worse . which was due to.weight loss and feeling really miserable anxious . over thinking . I made it worse..I.pretended I didn't have gastritis but same time didn't understand why off the meds the pain all.inside my back got worse eating. please anyone never take a benzo.or longterm.sleepers z meds.... there are better ways out.now to.help sleep.. No Nsads or ibruprfen it's makes it worse. . It was God who.sent me.your message for me to read.how I have been years . you reached out. and helped me.you don't help from gastros or GPS. if not going out and down your gp.should see you re thyroid . or tell them nothing helps . but and it's a big but....anxiety and stress makes it worse..And so.does sugar caffeine carbs cause anxiety ..God bless you. Take time to.heal . you will
It was kind of you to reply. Well I was on Diazepam for 2 months because my anxiety was so bad. I was also given sleeping tablets. I came off diazepam but I'm still trying to beat the side effects. I've been given Sertraline an SSRI for anxiety but it's causing bad nausea and other side effects. I've tried various ways of eating non acid diets etc. I tried to follow the gastritis healing book but it was hard and some foods I can't buy in the UK. I'm still in agony every day and cannot eat lately due to nausea. The sleeping tablet is promethazine and it's a anti histamine and stops nausea. I've taken one this evening to stop nausea!!. Do we need histamine in our gut? I didn't know the relevance at all. I have gastritis and oesophagitis. I cannot take any PPIs such as omeprazole etc as they make me feel very unwell. This is a hard journey. I feel so unwell I've only been out of the house to see a doctor in four months. I lay in bed or sofa with a heat pad on my stomach. I'm sorry you have been put through such distress. Doctors are so uneducated in stomach problems . All the hospital does is give me strong pain killers which made me constipated and are NOT gentle on the stomach. I don't know the answers , I just find things out via Facebook or on here. I do hope you get some peace soon. I'm so pleased you replied. Take care.
you're welcome . even a short term use of Diaz and off anxiety as I am sure you know can get worse . it is not nice to live with if we don't know or understand what's going on ..when others eat anything . We'll your thyroid med can maybe be causing probs but I.dont know. yes gastritis can make you feel sick . I don't get that much.. oh you read the book..yes American but explains what to avoid ..you don't have to follow it . but try some? I am glad you joined the groups..can be overwhelming comparing tho. feel worse even.. The ssri doesn't sound as tho it's helping again depends how long on and interactions with thyroid med..? I have had depression off on 30 years . don't wanna waste life too short .If ssri not helping ask about another . Or Google drugs.com I think somewhere there's a ned site BMF site where you type in meds OK to.take together . GPS aren't always helpful.and no.time or get things wrong. I do not know why you have isolated and not gone out but if depressed I get it.. you sound young and shouldn't be like it need get back to life ..cos despite everything everyone may look fine but a lot are not . I don't see anyone go.out only 2 odd ladies may say meet us at Cafe . noone else cept my grown children who I am lucky to have and they help when can. The depression if you have it makes pain worse...brain gut.. Don't take NSAIDS you seem.to.know they make stomach worse and you don't want ulcers ..As said there is slippery elm which coats stomach . I guess you've tried Gaviscon . or Famitigene..its different to.ppis . it's an h1 blocker I.e it blocks histamine yes I read it is needed in stomach to help.produce acid and you can always try low histamine foods too..too much histamine can cause inflammation .
or try some apple cider vinegar a tspn in water before good..Its horrible but you could have low acid which they never check and that won't help ..If pain worse stop. you don't have much to lose just to try and not be scared.. .
Yes I think I've had withdrawals from diazepam. I'm coming up to 60yrs old next month and really don't want to feel my life slipping by. I'm usually a sociable person but the pain and anxiety has weakened me. I've lost 3 stone in 4 months so my energy is so low. I try and eat when the nausea allows. Unfortunately the anxiety holds me back because I shake 24/7. That's why they gave me diazepam. Wish I'd never taken them but at the time I would do anything to stop the persistent aggitation. I feel it will be a long time to readjust the brain again. It's hard dealing with pain all day as it triggers my anxiety. I will get there one day. I'm going to try harder to detox my system from all the rubbish that doctors told me to take. Just wish I could take PPIs to help the pain. I'm also constipated too from co-codamol but that really helped the pain. Won't be using that again until my bowels are sorted.Isn't it hard to try and get to an even level in our health.
Thanks once again.
