Acid reflux: Consider  testing  for h pylori a bacteria  associated with GERD- though usually individuals have pain as well, hiatal hernia, food intolerances(gluten, milk) consider EGD-endoscopy.   Avoid motrin like products spicy food, fatty  foods chocholate,caffeine  alcohol smoking, tight clothes .  
Consider adding famotadine or Carafate  and increasing omeprazole to 40. Follow up with gastroenterology

Question 2

first week of taking sertraline 50mg and have lost my appetite, upset stomach, dry mouth and foot sweating. is this normal or something else ?

Accepted Answer

Normal: These side effects are common and usually improve after several weeks.  Optimal benefit of the medication may not be seen for 3-4 weeks, so tolerating side effects for a few more weeks is recommended.  Sometimes using a step up dose from 25 mg for a week or so before going to 50 is helpful.

Question 3

stomach cramps, nausea, some diahrrea and dry mouth. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

See  your doctor: This is not my field but you should see a general physician or gastroenterologist.  You have several symptoms that should be evaluated.  Even a walk in clinic if you do not have a physician of your own.  It is always easiest to deal with a problem when detected early.

Question 6

having to poop after meals and upset stomach. lots of loose stools plus loss of appetite. could it be stress? i have been under a lot of stress lately

Accepted Answer

GI disturbance: There are numerous possibilities here and an evaluation would have to be rather extensive.  See a gastroenterologist if necessary. Yes, "stress" may create physical manifestations with the GI tract as a target (called somatization), but before making that assumption you should be sure it is nothing more serious. You might try eating unpasteurized yogurt 2 or 3 times a day. Sometimes helps. Best.

Question 7

why do i have dry mouth and my stomach hurts and i have a headache and dizziness. i drink water but that doesn't help.?

Accepted Answer

Stomach flu: The stomach flu is caused by a virus that attacks your gastrointestinal system. There is no cure for the stomach flu. The remedies are: good rest, plenty of fluids intake, plain food like crackers, cereal, toast and rice. Take NSAID over the counter and tincture of time. Good luck.

Question 8

i have dry mouth, sour stomach feel like i want to gag,at times mouth feels like very watery than dry, and i had a mouth soar.

Accepted Answer

Get checked: This could be due to acid reflux, diabetes, or other problem.   See your doctor and get checked.  Good luck!

Question 9

if i have stomach nausea lightheadedness and dry mouth what is it?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: If you consider yourself to be in good health you most likely could be getting the flu. Flu season is officially underway. If this does not progress in the way you have usually experienced the flu or if your symptoms get worse and you develop additional symptoms that do not coincide with cold or flu then you should get in to see your doctor right away.

Question 10

can stomach cancer cause dry mouth.

Accepted Answer

Not directly: Only indirectly  if you have severe generalized symptoms of other sorts (weight loss for example) .Anxiety worrying about stomach cancer is much more likely.
