How did your doctor explain the stomach pain,sour,gnawing,sore to touch and the GERD , heartburn after meals?
Does your heartburn last 3 hours ?
Any of you find relief of something I have yet to try ?
I have G>i. appt next week.thanks
How and why does turkey, and so many things disturb ones stomach ?
Almost 5 months and I hate to be on baby food like my friend who does this during ulcer pains when her tagamet has not kicked in.

Was you ever tested for Helicobacter Pylori?Gnawing pain is usually H.pylori infection.That's bacteria that is causing gastritis and stomach ulcers.

I had 2 seperate blood test for H.Pylori 3 months ago
Although I read the EGD was more conclusive. Do you know if anyone has had  a false reading from a lab ?

I think that you can also have the ulcer or gastritis without having H. pylori.I think it would be a good idea for you to do Endoscopy...
