@loribmt @tinatoren I definitely have GERD as I get chest pain due to acid reflux. I have tried getting off Lanzoprazole but that is the only medication that he,ps with my reflux. I also have occasional stabbing pain in my upper right quadrant, just under the ribs which I just tolerate since no doctor can tell me what causes it, and ultrasounds show nothing.

My husband really suffered with all of those symptoms too. He’s doing well now and after 2 years is off all the medications. Though he will still have moments of what he refers to as ‘a clenching or tightness’ in his stomach on occasion. It’s awful when you can’t find the cause.

Thanks for your reply. Yes most people seem to get pain higher up than me. I'm trying pepcid now to see if there's any difference in the pain. I can be up 30 min before the pain is too strong. I'm also getting pain behind my right ribs behind the liver. Maybe my pain is coming from 2 things. Mri didn't show a reason for the pain either. Waiting for an ultrasound now. Maybe it will pick up something. The area about an inch above my bellybutton is so sore that I can't even touch it but sometimes it gets a little better.

That pain can be duodenal inflammation and/or ulcers. Have endoscopy.
