Bloating and discomfort after drinking alcohol

Im 21 and 4 months ago, i went on holiday to Cyprus for 3 weeks. I drank alcohol most nights, however not over excessively.
After the 1st week I noticed every time i drank even water or coke, i felt bloated and felt nauseous. Extreme burping as well.
A few days later my apetite went, and i hardly drank or ate anything as i was in fear of being sick or feeling bloated.

Now even upon my return this bloating feeling stayed and kept burping after eating/drinking.

I had an endoscopy and they said nothing major was wrong just a rumpled duodenum?. They said I have to eat small meals and prescribed esemaprazole

It has calmed down now as i have taken esemeprazole for an extensive amount of  time.


I generally feel fine now, except I notice every time I drink more than 1 or 2 glasses of lager/beer or wine I feel bloated and uncomfortably. Also I feel a small bubble in the side of my stomach which feels like its filling up with liquid??

I'm not an alcoholic nor do i need to drink, But its making me sad and upset everytime I go out with freinds to a bar I feel nauseous everytime I have a few alcoholic beverages.

I have never been a heavy drinker, drinking from 17 years of age. Only drank on the weekend.

I would highly appreciate it, if anyone would have any solutions or help? I Have considered in the future going without drinking any fizzy drinks or alcohol for 1 year to see if this heals any damage I may have done? As i do not want this problem to stay with me for life.

Many Thanks
Matt

Matt, the term 'rumpled' duodenum doesn't make any sense to me. There are many things that can happen to the duodenum including a process of showing changes due to conditions such as too much entry of acid, or the presence of changes due to problems of gluten intolerance. I'm curious because you say you have problems when you drink beer which is typically made from products known to be difficult to handle when one has celiac disease, so is it possible the doc saw changes to the villi in your duodenum? If you don't know exactly what they found, get a copy of the endoscopy report and any biopsy results and read them. They may give you more information. Docs don't always tell patients everything unfortunately, or they may actually miss something in the pathology reports.
