Abdominal Pain?

Question

Hi, over the past 2 months i've been experiencing terrible stomach pain and the only relief i have is lying down for about 45 mins until it calms down. I've taken an ultrasound and blood test but all results have come back negative...also my doctor said i may have an ulcer however i don't have any symptoms of an ulcer such as vomiting, blood..etc
My stomach seems to only hurt whenever I'm eating a meal and it forces me to stop because of the pain. Another thing is that i don't believe it is related to gas because I've already taken stuff like "ENO" and the pain hasn't stopped nor is it stress because personally i dont have much to worry about.I dont have any history of health problems,i'm in very good shape and i'm 15 years old...Do you think it could be "Duodenitis"...wat are your thoughts?

Answer 1

It could be a peptic ulcer and by the way, you don't need to vomit to have one. Anyway, it doens't matter if it's only gastritis, esophagitis, duodenitis when it comes to first-hand treatment. First of all, you need your mom to get you an appointment with a pediatric gastroenterologist for a gastroscopy (it's a study where they look inside your mouth down to the beginning of your small intestine). Second, in the meantime, you HAVE to change your diet, meaning NO onion, garlic, spicy food, tomato (alone or any product with tomato on it like sauce, paste, especially pizza sauce). Also, you can't eat any citric fruit (or juices) like lemon, orange, grapefruit, pineapple, etc. You need to eat at least every 3 to 4 hours, even if it is a smaller amount, but need to eat frequently. And....your mom can ask your doctor for some medication like Zantac, that you can take twice a day while you wait to be evaluated by the specialist I mentioned and while you make all these changes.

When you do all this, you will feel better in the long run, these are changes that you need to do to improve your health and live happy.

Answer 2

If you get pain when you're eating, I would suspect a stomach problem. It would more likely be an esophagitis or gastritis than duodenitis. If your doctor thinks you have an ulcer, what did he prescribe for it? Have your parents ask your doctor for a referral to a gastroenterologist who can do a scope and actually see what is going on in there. There is no need to suffer...go to a specialist and get some answers and the proper treatment. Good luck!

Alcohol can cause dehydration and disrupt cell function throughout the body, making you feel sick, or hungover when any intoxication wears off. The amount needed to trigger a hangover depends partly on how much you're used to drinking: As little as one or two glasses of wine, for example, can leave some people feeling wiped out if they seldom drink at all.Of course the best way to avoid a hangover-and to avoid getting dangerously tipsy-is simply not to drink heavily or more than usual. also its not your stomach lining, that stuff come from your digestive system. If you don't feel better in 24 hour, see your health care provider as soon as possible. And good luck.

Answer 4

You need to go back to your doctor... They think that you're fine when they don't hear from you. The doctor needs to know that this is an ongoing problem and that his action is expected whether it's medication of referral to a specialist. And, by the way, people with ulcers don't necessarily "vomit and have blood etc." Take care.

Answer 5

Where exactly does it hurt? Pain while eating, especially fatty foods, could be a gallbladder problem. That would hurt on the upper right hand part of your abdomen.

Answer 6

You may have a sliding hiatus hernia I have one and I get pain at times.
