A member asked:
For a week now i have this weird upper stomach ache that's worse when i have an empty stomach. what could be the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Upper abd.ache: Gastrititis(inflamed stomach lining), peptic ulcer, pancreatitis,or even gall bladder pathology are possibilities. If a bland, low fat diet,avoidance of caffeine,alcohol and tobacco, and taking antacids like maalox as well as daily prilosec or nexium (esomeprazole) don't relieve your symptoms, consult your physician or a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment.
