Gastritis?
by jadeeyes365, Dec 30, 2007 03:43PM
I was diagnosed with gastritis back in September, and put on Nexium 40mg once a day. The nexium and suggested diet have helped with controlling the symptoms (abdomin (abdomen) pain, diahrria, fatigue, nausea) but not completely. Just recently in the past week I had a flare up in which the pain was very severe and my stools became black. My local doctor prescribed Nexium twice a day, which still isn't helping relieve the symptoms.
A girl I had graduated with had all the same symptoms with no help, prescribed Nexium and such. In the end the doctors did a test of her lymph nodes and found cancer.
Should I look into having my lymph nodes checked as well?

Black stool may very probably be a bleeding from the stomach. It may come from severe gastritis, peptic ulcer or cancer. I think, your first investigation should be breath test for finding Helycobacter pylori bacteria (common cause of gastritis) and then gastroscopy.
