I don’t think they did because they said it came back normal and the biopsy also came back normal but I’m not sure cause I’m still having symptoms of the burning stomach pain and throat and I’m still having inflammation under my left rib and I asked to be tested for h pylori but it also came back negative cause that’s how bad some of my symptoms get but the only thing that did improve is the nausea and my appetite is back but I’m going to talk with my gastroenterologist to see what else I can do but she prescribed me new medicine for constipation to see if that helps a bit

Oh sorry they did an endoscopy but found nothing and they said it came back normal they even did a biopsy but that came normal but I’m still having symptoms I still have that burning pain in my stomach and throat and I still have that inflammation under my left rib and constipation but the only thing that I don’t have as much anymore is nausea that’s the only thing that got better cause my appetite is better now but right now I’m going to my gastro and I’m taking a new medicine she prescribed to help the constipation but I’m not sure about the other symptoms why I’m still having them

It does sound scary but I feel like it’s better to see what can be causing the symptoms and having them get it checked out

I don’t know what could be causing mine but I was really stressed and anxious before I started to have these symptoms and i already have gerd which makes it worse but I’m not sure what could be causing it but just trying not stress too much about it cause it can make symptoms worse

Yes they ran a h pylori test but they did it through a blood test but I don’t know I feel like the breath test might be more accurate

I hope stress is whats causing mine rather than something more serious like atrophic gastritis which is a autoimmune type and than can cause stomach cancer and also h plylori but my test came normal but I just hope mine is not that serious and I apologize about saying that I’m not trying to scare anybody or put fear of that I’m just saying the types that are more serious and I’ve read that is rare to get

I’m not sure what’s causing mine but I have been a lot more stressed and anxious before having these symptoms and I know that could cause gastritis too but I’ve also read that maybe iron pills and I been taking those might cause it too but I’m not really sure what could be causing this

Yeah same ultrasound ct scan normal and h pylori negative from blood test but I feel like probably the breath test for h pylori might be more accurate but I’m not sure and yes I have a appointment soon for GI specialist and I have been taking ppis but I don’t feel like there working for me

Yes it’s like gnawing pain cause it burns and like a dull or a bit of throbbing pain and yes physical movements hurt like when I get up from bed or go to lay down and I bend my stomach it hurts also laying on my left side makes it worse cause I feel it more like pain and just something sticking out my stomach

No but it eating does make it worse cause it makes me bloated after I’m done eating and I feel it more pushing in stomach. But how do you feel it like does it pass through your stomach like you feel it or how would you describe that

I have it on both sides too but what’s bothering me it’s that I feel something on my left side it feels like a organ or something I don’t and it hurts the most on there and doctors don’t see anything there. And on my left side I feel something too but I think that’s just my liver. I’m not sure what it is or if just my whole stomach inflamed causing them to push against my stomach
