New with a problem

I don't think I posted here before. I have IBS and I had ulcers some years ago. I do have some type of swallowing problem no one has been able to figure out. I've been doing pretty good so far as heartburn and nausea. I had a cold for a couple of weeks and now I have a lot of nausea and heartburn. The last couple of days my BM's have been mostly gas and mucous. Is it possibly from the cold or maybe I have the flu? I have my regular doctor appointment next Wed so I hope it can wait till then. Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions. Lou

I posted on Alternative Health and a couple other boards. No, I haven't taken antibiotics for a long time. I was taking Tylenol and Claritin for my cold. I suppose they could have caused the problem. I get heartburn and nausea every time I eat now. I am taking Maalox but it isn't helping a lot. Maybe I will find out Wed. Lou

Thanks. I hope I find out something tomorrow. I am tired of being nauseous everytime I eat.

The doctor put me on Nexium for a week and ordered a stool sample test for H pylori. I go back next Wed.
