Gastrointestinal Disease?


Hello eveyone,I would like some speculations on my current
health problem addressed.In 2005 Dec,I came afflicted
with so called heartburn symptons.I have never previously
had any engages with it then suddenly,bam out of no where
my chest would stay firey all day long and stomach has remained warm/hot.I have taken many pump inhibitors,acid reducers and nothing alleviates the sympton not even a little
bit.I began to lose my appetite at onset but the only thing
the prescription prevacid restored was my appetite and
that's it.Few years back my doctor had me on fiber because
he said it was low.Changed doctors back then and somehow
don't remember staying on it and little concern about not
continuing it.I also had mutiple muscle spasm before the
gerd-like sympton and on current muscle spasm treatment.
I also recall doctor saying something about my liver long
time ago but think he said it was ok.I believe something
else is underlying or related.Does anyone have a clue?

Have you had an endoscopy, a long scope that goes down into your stomach with a camera on it so it can be seen in real time? That would be the first step in diagnosing. Then usually a small sample of tissue is taken at the same time (a biopsy) and is tested for a bacteria called helicobacter pylori. That can cause a lot of your symptoms and pain. It has to be treated with specific antibiotics and bismuth (found in Pepto Bismol). That is where you need to start. Go to a gastroenterologist for all this. He is a specialist and should be able to help you.

reflux can cause permanent damage to the esophagus, you may need nexium, not prevacid.

i have gerd ...and they sound like some of the symptoms.i also have tryed most meds and dont help much....i have probbs all day long...I'm currently on a new med called zoton...
