Reoccurring Stomach Problems

by Ken0719, Feb 25, 2008 06:04PM
I have had at least two years of stomach discomfort. There is no pain however, I always feel bloated and full. I eat very sparingly and am a diabetic. I also have hypertension, so the meds are being tested by backing off for ten days, changing prescription dosages, etc. I have had all the gastro x-ray procedures and an MRI - nothing was found remarkable. A biopsy of my stomach lining was normal.

I have restricted my diet to soups mostly and still have the discomfort. What can I do to get information from my doctor about a specific as this has been going on too long.

Have you researched digestive enzymes? Has the medical community checked your pancrease?

No, to both questions. I'll talk to my doctor about both. Can you suggest a starting point on the enzymes? I started on this site and it's very confusing...

Check into candidia yeast. It can play hell on the digestive system.
