For two months I have had a burning itchy growling stomach. It started when I was taking cefpodoxime for a sinus infection. I stopped taking that two months ago and the ailments still remain. I get stomach bloating, gas, and radiating pains that occur all over my stomach, the lower left and right quadrant and the upper left and right quadrant. I have been unable to sleep on my stomach for 2 months due to this. THERE IS NO DIARRHEA, NO VOMITTING AND NO NAUSEA at all associated with this. I have been taking protoninx 40 MG for 2 months.All the doctors tell me that antibiotics wouldn't cause this. I have had a HIDA scan, abdominal ultrasound, chest x-ray, stress test, echo, blood work, EGD, H. pylori, and some food allergy tests. Nothing has shown up in any of them. I am a 30 year old man, lactose intolerant, don't smoke, drink, or use any drugs. Please help. Any advice. I am starting to become depressed feeling I will never get better.

You have had lots of medical tests, and you are still having problems. Antibiotics can kill the naturally occuring bacteria in your intestines. I would seriously consider contacting a naturopath or seeking help from a practitioner of natural medicine. You need help reestablishing the health of your digestive system.

Did you ask your doctor about having an upper GI like I suggested before? Remember, this is not the same as an EGD.
