Has anyone here ever had a stomach ulcer? I have been on medication (Omeprazole 20mg) previously for a suspected stomach ulcer and excess acid, but was never actually tested for one? I just took the medication and the pain and acid went away and just flared up every now and then.
But i now keep getting a horrible stomach pain high up just under my breastbone in the middle and it goes straight through to my back. I initially put it down to eating wheat/gluten foods so started to cut the big items out such as bread, pasta, cakes etc. And it did seem to help at first, my stomach pains would die down (never completely go away) for a day or so, but then i would eat something else and it sets it off. I think onions is another food that nearly kills me now.
So i tried Gavisgon, drank milk, i've been taking the Omeprazole and i got some Ranitidine and nothing is working, it is agony. It is like a burning pain/stomach pain so i'm assuming its acid and has irritated something in my stomach?
I have a drs appointment on Wednesday but was wondering if anyone knew of anything else that could help soothe this pain until then? Do you think it sounds like a stomach ulcer?
