Stomach Ulcers & Hiatel Hernia

[mandyb1674]

After having a C-Scope and EDG on July 27 2012, my GI doc told me I had 3 ulcers and a hiatel hernia.  I started having symptoms of feeling full and bloating in my stomach about 3 months ago (early May 2012) and have been on Dexilant since early May 2012 and Nexium prior to that for several years.  I still feel miserable and the only thing my doc said was to continue the Dexilant and he would see me on 6 weeks.  I am a otherwise healthy 38 y/o F, I don't smoke, I watch my diet and exercise .  I am at my wits end! Please advise.

You didn't say whether the ulcers were in the stomach or duodenum.these tend to have different sources.

Thanks! I have a f/u appt in 2 weeks so I will definately ask.

It's checked via a blood test. You may want to talk with your doc to see whether that test or others should be done.

Not sure if they did or not....how to you test for that?

Dr. Walters,
I had blood work done which came back negative for H. Pylori and biopsies were done when I had the EDG done and those also were negative for H. Pylori.

If this has been going on for some time which it appears to have been based on the length of time you've been on the PPIs, have you by any chance had your gastrin levels checked?

Were you tested for H. Pylori?
