Question 1

if i have gastritis or an ulcer, will the ppis always help? i've been taking pantoprazole for a month, and i'm still experiencing stomach burning.

Accepted Answer

Return to your doc.: If you are still having symptoms after one month of a PPI, you should return to your doctor to see if further testing needs to be done, or if you need a different medication or a change in the dosage of the current one. In the meantime, it will not hurt to add over-the-counter antacids, such as Tums, (calcium carbonate)  to your regimen. Good luck.

Question 2

feeling severe stomach burning during night?

Accepted Answer

ACID INDIGESTION?: Maybe acid indigestion. What did you eat was it fatty, fried, spicy, eat too late. Many many more questions to answer. Do not eat late or do the above mentioned late at night. Drink some water and have bland food and no caffeine or alcohol until stomach settles.

Question 3

i have severe stomach burning during my period. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

IBUPROFEN, NAPROXEN: Menstrual pain is due to the release of prostaglandins by the body.  Their formation can be blocked by taking Ibuprofen (advil, Motrin ib) or Naproxen sodium (alevel and others) at the first sign of pain or even the day before menses are expected.

Question 4

i have persistent stomach burning that leans to the left. and have medium peptic ulcers and small hatial hernia . although my carafe and omeprazole aren't working been on them for a couple weeks. could it be something else?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Yes it could be something other than the ulcers, and you should let your doctor know what specific concerns you have so they can be addressed. Hope this helps!

Question 5

i have been having mild periodic stomach burning. from just moving. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

It is an alert: It is normal in that your body is trying to tell you something. Burning can be gastritis (inflammation of the stomach) perhaps an ulcer or just irritation after a virus. Something is amiss and causing you discomfort. Spicy foods, peppers, alcohol can aggravate. Acupuncture and chinese medicine can really help as can a visit with your physician if it has been occurring three weeks or more.

Question 6

is there any reason i'm experiencing stomach burning after drinking koolaid in the morning?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: When you sleep, your stomach is filled with normal acid, which occasionally can cause an uncomfortable gnawing sensation. When you get up in the morning and eat (real food), this buffers the acid, and you usually feel fine and good to go. Drinking coolaid does not count as real food and does nothing to counterat acid. Try some cereal or toast or fruit.

Question 7

every medicine for my stomach burning i have tried doesn't work i have tried over counter an proscriptions. nexum helps some but its to expensive help?

Accepted Answer

Find the cause: It is important to know why your stomach is bothering you. Medications like Ibuprofen can damage your stomach. You could also have food allergies. Pay attention to what things make the burning worse and stop eating or taking those. One reason to see a doctor would be if you may have an ulcer. Symptoms of blood loss from an ulcer would be a rapid resting pulse or very dark or red stools.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Reflux?: It could be from esophageal reflux. With numbness, i suggest you see your physician.
