Chronic Bloating

by Sammi, Oct 03, 2001 12:00AM
I have been taking Prilosec for about 5 years for Gerd and Hiatal Hernia. My stomach has been terribly bloated ever since and I am miserable. If I go off the Prilosec I get bad heartburn. Also about 3 months ago I started burping constantly. Nothing helps. Could the Prilosec cause these problems?
Thank you.

Yes, I have the problem in my stomach for 7 years. I'm 32 now, 4 years ago I quit my job because of this, now I can only stay at home but the problem never goes away.

my email is LIM_JOO***@****

10 years ago, I was diagnosed as some kind of gall problem, then I stop working for six months for treatment

4 years ago, I was diagnosed and x-ray to have "most probably" Pulmanary Tuberculosis, then I stop working for another six months for treatment. In the meantime I also had Losec.
But it wasn't these medicines that cured my problem, it was swimming and change of lifestyle that really cured me. (for at least few years).
Now, for 2 months continuously, my stomach problem became severe, symptoms are as follow:
hiccuping, burping, stomach bloated, stomach burning, throat burning, heavy breathing, body muscles tighten-burning-fatigue. worst is the last 3 days I couldn't sleep well because whenever after meals my stomach can't digest, my stomach feel pain-bloated. I have a feeling like end-of-my-life now. Can anyone help me?

I don't smoke, sleep early, swimming, jogging, occasionally beer (twice a month), I stop eating spicy foods.

I am running out of ideas, what can it be? Friends told me it could be Helicobacter Pylori, Gall problem, Liver problem, intesninal problem, Tuberculosis.

Thanks

Joo
