He has abdominal problem I guess. We always take him at this time 12 am
to the health center here. Whenever he eat somthing a burning happens to
him in the stomach going up gradually to reach the chest sometimes. Also,
the horrible pain. This happens all of a sudden as I said, you can't
anticipate when this twinge or sting will attack !
My guess it's maybe something connected to the intestines or appendix.
Taking in mind he feels mild or little sensation from the chest down. Maybe
that's why he can't tell the origin of the pain, but he has problem with
bladder as mentioned.
Ah, I wonder if he has GERD (gastric reflux disease). My mother got that after chemotherapy (it may or may not have been related, but you can have one without the other) and it means that some foods just aren't pleasant to eat at all any more.
Another possibility is an ulcer. Again, we are not doctors so of course we cannot be sure, but you or he might want to ask about these things.
GERD sounds like an unagreeable woman.
Hello ladies and gentlemen again. Welcome back to my fascinating show.
Jespah my friend, I think you were right about the reflux thing. Again, I
took my brother to the same private hospital. The cute physician (girl of
course) asked me the same boring questions, and I gave the same boring
answers like a robot. Then, she started to feel his stomach, and asked if
he experiences any pain at that area, no he said. I told her his illness
history, and asked if she were going to do x-ray or endoscopy. She said
no at the moment, but she will do blood test looking for helicobacter. The
first thing jumped to her mind was the reflux. I told her that I want a
complete test for the intestines, stomach, etc. But, she said the main
reason is the neurogenesis bladder and the spine is responsible about all
what is happening.
Ok, I went to the lab and bro did this test. It was negative. She prescribed
some tablets that he should have before eating, and some drops. He is
now fine, and I hope that he remains like this. I hate any new surprises.
Details,
Pills,
- Famotidine, before eating. Two on the morning and two in the evening.
- Metoclopramide, three times a day, before eating
-Oral drops; Dimethicone, 20 drops every eight hours
Also, a regimen for acid peptic disease.
My questions are, isn't this helicobacter the reason for ulcer, or can cause
ulcer? Because it's negative in his case. Any suggestion about the new
substitute food for him? What he should eat?
helicobacter pylori does cause peptic ulcers. but if his tests for H.P. were negative, then it probably isn't. in any case, here's some info on H.P:
A peptic ulcer is a sore or hole in the lining of the stomach or duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). People of any age can get an ulcer and women are affected just as often as men. Over 25 million Americans will suffer from an ulcer at some point during their lifetime. The good news is that most ulcers are caused by an infection with the bacterium, Helicobacter pylori, and can be cured in about two weeks with antibiotics.
Ulcer Facts
Most ulcers are caused by an infection, not spicy food, acid or stress.
The most common ulcer symptom is burning pain in the stomach.
Your doctor can test you for H. pylori infection.
Antibiotics are the new cure for ulcers.
Eliminating H. pylori infections with antibiotics means that your ulcer can be cured for good.

sound familiar? from the same website:
What are the symptoms of an ulcer?
The most common ulcer symptom is gnawing or burning pain in the abdomen between the breastbone and the belly button. The pain often occurs when the stomach is empty, between meals and in the early morning hours, but it can occur at any other time. It may last from minutes to hours and may be relieved by eating food or taking antacids. Less common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite. Sometimes ulcers bleed. If bleeding continues for a long time, it may lead to anemia with weakness and fatigue. If bleeding is heavy, blood may appear in vomit or bowel movements, which may appear dark red or black.
I hope he's on the way to good health. Sounds like you've got a good, caring doctor.
Hi again. Thanks for info dagmaraka, but as I said the testing for H.pylori
was negative. He is taking two kind of pills as mentioned; one for ulcer
and the other for reflux. He is ( thank God ) fine now, except the pain in
the early morning and this make sense.
Thanks for caring jespah. I'm going tomorrow to the hospital again for
urodynamic study. I'll update you later.
Wish me luck.
