Hard lumps above belly button

I have been having all sorts of upper gastric issues the last few months since a hospital admission for ulcerative colitis. The pain, gurgling/bubbling and discomfort is exactly where I think my actual stomach would be. When I lay on my back I can feel big lumps across the top section above my belly button. I had a CT scan and endoscopy during my last admission (Jan) and stomach appearance was normal. I did have constipation high up in my bowels but have been taking docusate sodium daily since. Any idea what the feeling of the lump/swelling is? I take lansoprazole daily but have done for 4 years so do not think that is a factor.

I also have this, but my lumps/ swelling kind of disappear if I massage there so I'm thinking mine is trapped wind!

Hi! Thanks for the reply. I did wonder if this is the case. I must have a lot of wind in there constantly if it is lol.
