troublesome tummy

[tummytrouble]

I have a troublesome tummy. Everytime I eat I get a dull ache in my tummy, I feel great when my tummy is empty but if I walk after eating something, it feels uncomfortable. I get excessive saliva and its getting me down. I only get acid reflux after eating chocolate, cheese, pastry and white bread ..oh and yogurt. PLEASE HELP!!

Thanks suziepie and nanny. I know I am not Lactose Intolerant, its everything I eat which makes my tummy uncomfortable.  I am gong to see a Gastroenterologist in a few weeks, so I will see if he can help me. Thanks for replying anyway!

Thanks bluemopsie. Even if I eat in small amounts, the uncomfortableness is just the same. I have lost over 28pounds in the last 4 months because of this illness. I have been to the doctor, and she prescribed me some Zantac tablets to reduce excess stomach acid, but those didn't work.

Have you checked to see if you have become lactose intolerant?  Go to this link and see if any of this sounds like your problem.

A good doctor is so important.  Most doctors don't know what's wrong with the patient, so they write prescriptions and hope to get lucky at your expense.  Please find yourself a real doctor.

Hi, I have similar simptoms. I find it helpful to eat only very small amounts at a time, and stay away completely from chocolate, coffee, citrus and anything with citric acid. If I eat too much at one time that will bring my symtoms back, otherwise there has been much improvement.  I had x-rays that showed a mild inflamation in the duodenum, and am waiting for gastroscopy to be scheduled.
