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.

Hi. I have the same problem. 9 months ago I was diagnosed with gastroparesis. Hope that's not what you have. It's been Hell. God bless you 🙏

what I have been reading on this blog does not sound optimistic. It sounds like lots of folks without answers, without docs who understand the gastro system, and with docs who prescribe stuff that cause additional symptoms. Reading about folks here reporting LONG, years long, digestive / gastro problems. and NO solutions.
It seems Mayo would be well served to have a gastro doc respond, at least occasionally, to some of the input showing up here. Give people some guidance and HOPE!
