GERD/ h-pylori/ IBS

[32malewithcolitis]

Hi

I think I may have GERD. Awaiting a camera test plus an h pylori test result as also symptoms are similar to that

Also suffer with health anxiety so trying not to think it could be the worse case scenario but statistically

It’d be unlikely.

Symptoms

- heartburn daily

- nausea

- mild burping

- wind

- very noisy abdomen

- odd bit of upper abdominal discomfort / distension

Do these sound common for GERD? I also have IBD & IBS so they think it could be the IBS (had colonoscopy recently and the colitis is at bay thankfully)

Certainly sounds like it could be that. I was diagnosed with IBS and diverticular disease a few years ago with similar symptoms it's an ongoing challenge to keep digestive system in balance. I too suffer terribly from health anxiety but really trying to tackle my negative thinking, best of luck, I feel your pain 💛
