I had an Upper GI today (the barium swallow test) and as I was looking at the screen, they showed my stomach. On the screen (due to the barium) made my stomach black, but there were white dots here and there. Even on the duadom (sp?). I asked my dad about it and he said that those are starts of stomach ulcers. Apparantly, I've been under so much stress that my stomach is producing too much acid and in so little words, eating my stomach and intestines alive. I can't wrap my brain around it. I know it's treatable but still, it's so shocking.
Has anybody else had this? Can someone tell me if they had an Upper GI and what they got back as results? Is it normal to be acting like this? I'm worried, yet calm and relieved.
