Not feeling so great

I've already seen my GI about this, for a few months now I keep feeling a sensation that makes me feel like my stomach is about to growl, seriously growl, and yet it doesn't. I also just feel a bit nauseous and my stomach is just uncomfortable in general. I've been on Nexium and Prilosec before it for many years for GERD and have been a pretty happy camper with that treatment. GI has me lined up for a couple of tests and seems to believe I have some kind of "malabsorption" problem going on, I can't say it's really getting worse, but it sure isn't getting better, either. At the same time I'm having backache problems much worse than usual in addition to a sinus infection. I'm a mess! I keep just wondering if it's some kind of pill or supplement I've been taking, but I can't seem to pinpoint anything so far, ditto for any particular foods or drinks. So tired of not feeling well, I'm rarely sick. I'm sure GI is ordering any tests he thinks are the right ones, anybody ever encounter this set of symptoms???

Hi! I had the same sensations when I had gastritis. It feels like your stomach is about to growl but it never starts. Then this gnawing like feeling happens and it then just made me kind of nauseous. It was awful. My doctor put me on Reglan and that seemed to help. It ultimately went away after my gallbladder was removed. Avoiding salt really helped. I hope you get to feeling better because I know how annoying, frustrating,and downright depressing it can be. Take care, Tiffany

That's how my stomach was a couple of days agao, felt like it may growl, not growl, like huge air bubble in your stomach right? Yeah that's what I felt like. I'm protonix and it's not working anymore, so I'm still taking it, because I am afraid of what will happen if I don't take it. For the past two nights I've been getting really bad heartburn for two nights in a row starting at 5pm, and nothing is working, not ginger, chamomill tea, or even ginger al. I've taken tums and pepcid it's not helping either. I'm scared it's gotten worse, I don't know how though? I'm done with the complaining for now.

I get those same symptoms. Usually when i have sinus drainage or have drank too much coffee.

interesting. i hope you figured out what it is. I still have no idea what it is. It's been gone for a while now.
