I am hoping someone can help me.
April 2022 I had what I thought was slight food poisoning that came on after eating a rich pasta dish at a restaurant. When the stomach pains and bloating didn't go away after 9 days I went to my dr. He assumed it was acid related (which I never had previously). I had blood work (all normal) and an ultrasound (all normal). He prescribed omeprazole 2 times a day.
After another month of no relief I went to a GI doc. Had an endoscopy in June 2022-only showed mild to moderate inflammation of my esophagus. When I asked about H Pylori he snapped at me and said I didn't have it. Prescribed a larger dose of Omeprazole. July 2022 he sent me for a CT Scan-told me it may be my pancreas. Results all normal!
August 2022 my gynecologist sent me to be tested for H Pylori-it was positive!!!!
I did the 2 week antibiotic protocol in September and my test in Oct and Nov showed it was eradicated.
Since then I have switched GI docs and have tried Famotodine, Omeprazole, Gaviscon, and combinations of antacids. It is now August 2023 and I am still having issues. Nothing has helped for longer than a few days. I have never had stomach sensitivity in my life (I am 63). Right now the GI says it is dyspepsia and I probably have to learn to live with it. She said she may test me for SIBO after my colonoscopy in October. I don't know why I have to wait!
Is there anything anyone can recommend I do or anyone I can see for further tests? I just don't feel right! The acid feeling and off and on bloating is difficult. I am active and this has really slowed me down.
