For 5 years my stomach is hurting intensely. It hurts an hour after I eat and when iam not eating there is still some pain. I have been to many specialist no one helps. They think iam crazy. The rest of my symptoms are pain in feet, pain in back, pain in under chest in liver area, extreme dizziness, acid, burps, gas and constipation. When I eat for 30min my body starts to tingle like when you sit on your leg too long and the blood stop circulating. The doctors all ready took out my gallbladder, gravel (stones) and none of the M,R,Is cat scans x-rays showed any thing please help me I cant play catch with my son anymore I would be in too much pain.

I have been sick since June 2008, and so far have not gotten any answers either from specialists. I do not have your symptoms, but I have your experience of being treated like I'm nuts because I have symptoms that aren't turning up anything. I keep going even though the doctors tell me there is nothing there. The bottom line is you know your body, you know there is something wrong, don't let these specialists treat you that way. Keep going! You will find answers and so will I. Just don't stop because these specialists treat you that way. I haven't and I feel I am very close to an answer and so will you be. God Bless, and good luck!

I began having stomach pain, acid and reflux in the night a few years ago. I have used OTC and prescription antacids which I've found help but, by themselves, don't eliminate the problem. Diet and exercise do however, for me anyway. I need to watch the amount of fat I take in. Vegetables and fiber are great. I've had to experiment to find what works for me.

Along with everything else there seems to be some correlation between regular bowel movements and the experience of acid. Overeating definitely brings a price to pay with it. Also the time I eat makes a difference. If I eat too close to the time I go to bed I tend to have more trouble. I try to put a couple hours of time in there anyway.

I hope you find practices that work for you.
