Hi all
Hoping you can offer some assistance. Having recovered from the breast abscess at last, my GP saw me last week as I have been suffering from agonising stomach pain after eating accompanied by severe trapped wind. She thinks I may have a gastric ulcer and started me off on Omeprazole 40mg per day. Its 4 days on and my stomach is not quite as sore although I have lost 9lbs in weight in a week because I am basically scared to eat!! have just had one weetabix in lots of milk 3 times a day! She has told me to avoid all fat...g8, no sugar, no salt and no fat! Apparently as I had my gall bladder removed a few years ago the system can't manage fat well.
Problem is this trapped gas, don't laugh...it is so painful, starts in my stomach, gets in to my back and my lower guts as well, there is a lot of spasm and gurgling, lots of burping but no passing gas below. It builds and builds and I just cannot shift it. I am not constipated. Please can anyone suggest anything?
I feel as though I can't cope with all this much longer, its just one thing after another and I feel really low.
Thanks Chrissie
