Thanks everyone for your help. Yes I've been tested for H. Pylori and it came back negative. I don't smoke, drink and I try to eliminate spicy foods now. I am taking Nexium 20mg once a day but sometimes twice because the pain is too much for me to handle. I burp and have lots of wind and I drink only water throught out the day. I have one cup of tea in the morning. I was juicing fresh celery, apples, and grapes so perhaps my stomach didn't like that? My acid died down for a while until I started juicing. But isn't fruit and veg supposed to be good for one? Please help me because my doc doesn't want to know! I have this sick/hungry feeling in my stomach and it just plain old aaches. Does anyone else have these symptoms? Christine

the fruit may be too acidic for you and irritating your stomach

How old are you? have you any history of stomach/duodenal ulcers? A gnawing pain after food usually suggests an ulcer. Are you constipated? This will definitely cause you problems not only gastric but pain, bloating, headaches, backache and generally unwell. many fruits particularly are too acidic for some digestive systems. This is trail and error. you could try acidophilus either in capsules (www.burstingwithhealth.co.uk) of in yogurt drinks however i think you need further investigation re ulcers and possibly an endoscopy ( camera down in to your tummy) it's not as bad as it sounds.

You should ask your doctor that and then come back and tell us because now you have us curious. I dream when I over eat (I no longer have acid reflux) so it seems reasonable to think that way.

A little baking soda in a glass of water will stop the burning almost immediately. The baking soda neutralizes the acids but this will form gas causing you to belch. The belching last only a few seconds but the relief from the burning last for hours.

Have you had an upper GI scope?
Little look around to make sure everything is ok.
Also - check out hiatal hernia; I had a really bad one and it caused a bunch of the same symptoms
