stomach problems?? | From darla25 [Log on to view profile] | on 2004-11-07 |

Hello!
My name is Adriana , I'm 25 years old and I have had pains in my abdomen for 3-4 months now. Associated with them there is also a pain in the throat, which in the beginning I mistook for a sore throat. But it doesn't go away with medication for cold and i observed it is associated with the abdominal problems. It is like a itchy thing, that becomes very annoying and I don't know what to do. The doctor said it's probably caused by a digestive problem ( like hyperacidity), but she diidn't go into details, just recommended an antiacid, which doesn't work very well. Recently I started to have pains in the stomach and probably hyperacidity, since I often have to eat in order to reduce the pain. I am afraid I might have Helicobacter Pylori, since I had this problem 5 years ago and it took me along while to get rid of her.
I suspect the problem is caused by stress, since I had to move in another country and adapt to the new enviroment. I also find my job quite stressing and i tend to be a little sensitive to the details.
I don't like cold and I often feel chilly and my favourite foods are sweets, coffee and yohurts( or cream).
Last days I have had this incredible thirst and it doesn't go away even with drinking lots of liquid.
I also yawn a lot, especially in the morning, after getting up, but sometimes during the day too. I generally feel tired and powerless and it is not common for me, because I tend to be an active person.
Thank you so much for listening to me and hope to hear from you soon, Adriana |

Sorry we kept you waiting...
Could you please write more about these abdominal pains: like where exactly (left/right below/above the navel)? what kind (sharp, dull aching, crampy, burning etc)? anything makes them better or worse (time of the day-activity-hot or cold applications etc)?Anything happened in your life when they started (3-4 months ago)?
What you describe as :Recently I started to have pains in the stomach and probably hyperacidity,'
is that abdominal pain or the new one (in stomach, relieved by eating)?
Are you taking any medicines now? | | |

Also could you please write more about your itchy (not painful?) throat? Is it better or worse sometimes? | | |

Hello and thank you for your answer.
The pain in the abdomen is in in the lower, central part.. it feels like I have something inside, sometimes even like there is something growing there. it's almost like the discomfort you have before your period( which by the way, tends to be late and scarce). It feels like a dull, aching thing, almost like something you have postponed to do and requires attention. | This thread continues beneath the following ad.

About the taste in my mouth, it often feels like metal, sometimes affecting the teeth as well(which , by the way, are very thin and easily broke).Lately,I tend to have constipation in the morning, but it usually goes away towards afternoon if i'm drinking liquid and eating something. It rarely becomes severe.
At the moment I am taking Eritromycin which the doctor recommended it for 3 months for a bad case of acneea on the back. Though it doesn't seem to go away and I've been on this treatment for 2 months now. | | |

Both the pain in the abdomen and the stomach get better when I eat and worse when I'm hungry.
the pain in the throat is quite strange, seems to come and go without reason, but it usually feels like something crawling on your throat an dit also looks inflammated. | | |

I forgot to say..sometimes, the pain in the thoat feels like something is coming from inside and almost makes me choke. Then I cough and I feel better , but it feels like a nodule afterwards. | | |

Thank you for your replies.
Antibiotic (erythromycin) may change your symptoms - it wouldn't be surrprising if it caused some of them (without curing anything!)
Were all the discomforts (throat, stomach and abdomen) present before you were taking it?
Although you should wait with homeopathic treatment until you are done with antibiotic we might learn more about you before that (if you don't mind).
That "crampy" thing in your abdomen - does it feel like it is alive?
Stomach pain-what kind? Also like cramps?
Did you try any rubbing, hot/cold application?
What helps you with that throat?
Did you use anything on your skin (like steroid ointments)? other antibiotics?
Are you a chilly or warm person (as in:winter, no gloves but warm hand)?
Your favorite weather, time of the day?
your least favorite weather/time of the day?
how is your thirst/apettite/sleep?
Do you crave anytthing?have aversion to anything?
Do you like company or rather be alone?
What angers you most? | | |

Was it present before moving to other country?
Antiacids are never good. In case of these type of symptoms one should take "Hydrocloride Acid." Betaine Hydrocloride with Pepsin. Not to be taken if ulcers are present. This is vaguely similar to pickle juice or vinegar. This helps the body digest as it was meant to do. Antiacids mask, and do not heal.
If a new symptom in new country, it may be the water. I live in the US and cannot drink the local water. Also consider checking for parasites. New foods? Check these things and keep reporting in. Sabra |
