Mark Hancer at Mayo Scottsdale listens to you and works with you to get to the bottom of your GI issues. When the typical approaches don't work (more meds), he thinks outside the box and suggested I try a pause in Metformin for 30 days. I was hesistant because I had been on this for 20+ years. I followed his suggestion and it changed my life. I could eat fiber again! Burping, bloating, abdominsl pain gone! I can sleep flat and don't have to take OTC antacids. Now just some nausea but significantly improved. Look for someone who will listen to you and think outside the box. Mark Hancer was that medical professional for me. I am so grateful to him for improving the quality of my life.

As GI issues are a common side effect of a lot of medications, are you taking something that could be causing your issues? If you feel comfortable please share your journey. Reading the post from other people definitely helped me in my journey. Wishing you the very best day!

I didn’t know you could pick. I’ve just applied for an apt and have to submit 50 pages of records and tests. Then, they’ll only decide if they feel they have anything to offer me and can help me and only then will offer me an apt. So, it makes it really difficult to know what to submit. You have to look sick enough but so sick that you’re a lost cause?

I don't know either. However, it's good know who everybody sees. Im sure they receive so many requests they have some way of selecting. Definitely more difficult to know how to present the case. Thank you @sallyw133 for your time and best wishes you find an answer too!

I have many of the same symptoms others have had with stomach pain, burning, stinging, shooting pain. Pain under upper ribs. Pain in the rib area. Pain between ribs belly button area. Stinging Pain on mid Abdominal both sides. Feels really sore and burning pain over entire area. I can feel. Feel uncomfortable for hours and half after eat. Just eat few spoonfuls at time. Havent been able to eat real meals for quite awile. Food not digestig
well. Yes I am very concerned about side effects of meds. Very concerned bc of side effects or body getting use to meds. Or concerned meds are letting bacteria overgrowth. My thoughts are long term how good is it to be on meds that coat stomach, relax bowel, and lower stomach acid. Definitely a delicate balance and trying to find that kind-of info is challenging. Definitely hope to find root cause. Heating pad is my go to. However seems like many ppl go years without finding the root cause. Best wishes to you as you move through this journey also.
