Hello Footello, i have the same problem as you, only i have peptic ulcer,i was told by my doctor that it's related to acid reflux, hopefully you feel better.

I’m not getting any reflux symptoms / maybe I have an ulcer?

[damiante in reply to Footello]

i don't think you have an ulcer, i had reflux, but you don't, first i had h-pylori and after peptic ulcer, did you ask your doctor why you are getting this pain?

Hey, I have similar symptoms. Blood tests a few months back showed up H Pylori and I took the antibiotics but the pains persist though a lot of other symptoms improved after those meds. An endoscopy last weekend confirmed Gastritis so they advised to keep taking PPI which I've been on for months now. H Pylori is now negative. Trying to keep to a bland type diet. I'm no expert but getting a blood test would be good I think. The initial one they took didn't check for H Pylori so worth asking GP to include that if you get one.

All the best
