Belching with upper abdomen bloat and spasm

Belching with upper abdomen bloat and spasm

Tonight I had it again...first a rock hard swollen upper abdomen...then the spasms and belching. It is quite scary and dehabilitating when it sets in for a couple of hours. But AHHHAA I have finally diagnosed the proper response...I need to become more alkaline VERY QUICKLY. The antidote I used was a strong mix of fresh lemon and water. I recommend it to anyone who has been tested for everything else (like me) and turned up with no known cause. I have eliminated gluten for 9 months, caffine for two years, chocolate for two years, carbonated beverages for 9 years, and lactose my entire life. The eliminated list of items are all suspected causes of the condition (too acid). I have been treated for an ulcer I didn't have FOR 5 YEARS, H-Pylori JUST IN CASE, had two colonoscopy tests and evereything was abnormally normal for my age (BTW no signs of an ulcer either), had an upper GI and everything tested was purrfect. Have been hospitalized for taking BENTYL because it drives up my blood pressure - been on it three times as a response to the unexplained problem. Did I mention the HIVES I got from taking Nexium during the 5 years of ulcer treatments? Did I mention that once I was told that at 53 years old I had suddenly decided to GULP AIR to make myself this way!  Did I mention how many thousand of dollars that was spent on ER visits becuse the symptoms make me feel like I am having a heart attack? I have learned how to regroup and treat my self. I am taking this time to HOPEFULLY save someone else from the tradgedy of having an acute illness that no one can diagnose and treat because the DOCTORS CLEARLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS AILMENT!!!!!! But I do now.
