For the past 4+ years I started having not so nice stomach problems. I am not a big eater, but I love hot foods. I have always had eating problems in my life, as I used to model, and even though I don't model anymore, I don't eat very much, about 1000 calories a day, and I work out for 2 hours everyday. My problems all started when I was going through my divorce so I considered it stress. So I thought it was an ulcer and I have been eating tums like candy. The biggest problem is the feeling like someone is stabbing me in my stomach as the same point every time. It is right under where my rib cage ends, right in the middle of my stomach. The funny thing is that is where my scar is from my Pyloric Stenosis, which I had at 3 days old in 1982. I have about a 4" scar that is vertical, and starts right where my ribs end. I have been to the doctor so many times with heart burn, and stomach pain and they also thought I had an ulcer at first. Now they have found gallstones and I am talking to a surgeon today about removing it. I am wondering if that is going to make my problems go away or is it the Pyloric Stenosis that is causing all the problems. I also have a lot of problems with the lower part of my stomach hurting at different times. Help Please!
