stomach pain

It has been so long since I've posted, but I think I'm having prob. The last couple of days I have been having mild stomach pains similiar to heartburn but not as bad. I associated it w/things I thought I shouldn't be eating. But now I'm wondering if it isn't something else. My understanding was you couldn't get heartburn anymore but if I take a couple of Rolaids I'm fine again. Has anybody else had similiar problems?

My whole family has recently had the flu... And my stomach has been killing me.. but i have noticed it hurts in a different way than before. Maybe it is am old fashioned stomach ache you are having but because of the new structure of our pouch it feels higher than normal? That is what i kind of decided about my stomach aces with the flew. That it normally hurt lower because the stomach was larger. But yes i didn't think we could get heart burn anymore either.. not enough acid at the top portion of the stomach. I thought the same thing.

Jennifer I have had a burning pain in my pouch since may. I have had an endoscopy, cat scan and gall bladder ultra sound. everything was clear and all they are willing to day is that i have acute gastritis. I have to just keep taking prilosec and up the dosage until it stops. I also take tums smoothies for in between times. i hope that this passes quickly for ya. Monica

ITS so hard... I know i had odd unusual stomach pains when my pouch was empty and for me the scope showed i had an ulcer. PERHAPS you should be scoped just to be sure all is okay??? good luck keep us posted. ( i was scheduled for the scope for throwing up coffee grind color )

I had an ulcer and h-pylori. It is no joke, I have really had a rough time. They can diagnose it with a blood test. Good luck! Wendy

Thanks to everybody for replying so quickly. I'm fine when I'm eating, it is usually a short time to an hr afterward that I get this heartburn feeling. How do you get H pylori? I'm pretty sure I was tested before the surgery and all was well then.

It is spread by not washing hands or intimate oral contact. But you can get it at restaurants etc. I do not know when I actually contracted it. But I will tell you that I feel much better now. It is a simple blood test. Wendy
