Abdominal Discomfort

by IP007, Nov 27, 2008 07:52AM
Hi. I have been experiencing abdominal discomfort for around one month. I feel discomfort around the belly button and at times it also spreads to my left and right sides. When this first began I was experiencing very bad breath, according to my doctor the food i was eating was not digesting in my stomach. I took esomeprazole for 5 days but that did not help. Also, when I eat the discomfort increases and it also increases when I experience stress, which is happening more and more regularly and I find myself more stressed out nowadays.
I underwent an H.Pylori test but this turned out negative.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what course of action I can take next?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. Thanks a lot for your reply I really appreciate it. I've actually broken out into a cold sweat after hearing that! Is this condition related to age because im *only* 28 years old. how was your condition diagnosed? Did you do a scan?
I would be very grateful to hear from you again. Thanks!

Sorry I forgot to answer one of your questions. I have started a low-fat diet in the last 2 days together with exercise in a bid to reduce my weight which has increased a lot recently.
Thanks.
