I finally got the results from the biopsies. Everything is good: no tumors, no ulcers, no gastritis. I have a mild esophagitis and I was given omeprazole and dicyclomine for a month. I feel much better overall: also, I feel very relieved knowing that I don't have H. Pylori either. In any case, doing ...

I just had my endoscopy and colonoscopy done today. No tumors, no ulcers, no polyps. They did find esophagitis, however. That may be the problem. They also took biopsies, so I'll keep you posted once I know the results.

Thank you so much everyone. I'm getting both a colonoscopy and an endoscopy tomorrow morning. My GI doctor said that he wants to completely discard any physiological reasons. He will also look into gluten intolerance. I'll keep you posted!

Thank you so much for your reply. I never thought of that. Do you think that the 'apparent' gastritis symptoms could be caused by a food allergy? Also: should I get an endoscopy done? I've never had one, but since this problem has been following me for almost a year, maybe I should?

Hi all; here is my story:

I'm originally from Spain but I've been living in the United States since 2007. I'm male, 27, 5.6 ft high, and I weight 149 lbs. My grandmother died of gastric cancer at age 70. No one else in my family has had similar diseases.

Symptoms (in order of impact): burning ...

Everything started in February, when I had to take ceftriaxone, azithromycin, and a week of doxycycline for the STD. That solved the problem.

But a week after finishing treatment, I started developing the GI symptoms. So I was diagnosed with H. Pylori and then was given triple therapy for 14 days ...

More information:

I called my GI doctor and he asked me to do another stool test to make sure the first one was not a false positive. Considering that my symptoms have gotten worse and that the first test came back positive, I told him "no" and I moved onto a different doctor... He was very flaky ...

I got the tests results from my stool test... I still have H. Pylori in my system, which means that the first treatment didn't work. Recently, my stomach aches and nausea has gotten worse as well. Any recommendations? I called my GI doctor but he is on vacation. He should call me soon and probably ...

Okay, so I'll do the stool test next week. So far I can tell you that I finished my antibiotics course a month ago and haven't been taking any PPIs for almost three weeks. I need to be very careful about what I eat. Definitely cannot drink any alcohol. Bland foods, etc. No weight loss (on the ...

Thanks, Helico_expert. I will be doing a stool test in two weeks. I'll keep you posted.

For the past couple of days, I've noticed that the stomach burning pain is practically gone, but now I have a bit of nausea after eating. It's quite mild, so I'm not overly concerned. Never vomited. Definitely ...
