I have a really bad pain in the upper part of my stomach. I also hear a churning and I have gas with this. Is this a gall bladder problem?

Celiac disease causes a huge range of symptoms, and it's important to rule it out. Estimates are that 1 in 120 to 1 in 130 people have it. I believe I read that only Asian people are not susceptible to it. It's important to find out because if you have it and you don't stop eating gluten, you can end up with autoimmune diseases and even cancer. There are blood tests for it now.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
This sounds more like acidity and GERD. Treatment is a combination of drugs to reduce the acid and lifestyle changes. You will need to take a combination of medications (under medical supervision) like a proton pump inhibitor such as omeprazole, lansoprazole or pantoprazole empty stomach in the morning and an antacid gel after meals for complete relief. Possibility of H pylori infection too should be looked into by a carbon urea breath test and a combination antibiotic tried.
Life style changes that will help include: Avoid heavy meals and eat frequent small meals. Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, smoking, fried food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Raise the head end of the bed by pillows to 30 degrees. Avoid lying down for least 2 hours after food. Maybe these tips will help you.
You should consult a gastroenterologist (a specialist who looks after the diseases of our digestive system) or a physician for this if these tips reduce your symptoms. You may need upper GI endoscopy for confirmation and to know the degree of damage.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Hi keeb06, any chance that you could be suffering from constipation? I only ask because I had the exact same symptoms and that's what it was.
What other symptoms are you experiencing? Does the pain occur only when you've eaten, randomly, or tied to some other aspect - like stress?
