Dear Doctor, In 2016 I Had An Ulcer In My
Question: Dear Doctor,
In 2016 I had an ulcer in my stomach( I don't have the endoscopy report now that's why I can't tell the specificity of it). With medicines, I got relieved. However, every now and then, from that time onwards I had issues of bloating. In 2017, my stomach was bloated for almost 2/3 months. I also have bloating very frequently now. In January, 2019, I had severe bloating for one week which was worse after having food. For the last few months, I was experiencing abdominal discomfort (bloating and a moderate pinching pain especially after food). I consulted a doctor and was diagnosed with a superficial ulcer in my fundus. I was positive for pylori too. I was given medicines for one month which includes: a) SomprazL, b) Sucrafil O gel and c) Pyloflush . The course is about to complete. Still, I am not fully recovered. Problems are still there. Please help !!!
My routine blood test was normal but ESR was 20.(In july)
I had vitamin D deficiency.

Dear Doctor,

c) I have undergone an ultrasound in February. I will upload the report. I didn't go any ultrasound in the recent days.
d) I will also attach the endoscopy report.

Hi,
Thanks for uploading the report.
If the RUT slide showed pink color when the report and the slide were given to you, it indicates you are positive for H.pylori. If it was as the same color like how it is seen in the picture now, then you are negative for it.
Also the fundus is not showing any ulcer.
You are having postprandial distress syndrome.
Sompraz L once a day which you are taking now should relieve the symptoms.
If sompraz L is not relieving the symptoms, you can take digestive enzymes like Enzar Forte along with it.

Dear Doctor,
The RUT kit was pink when it was delivered to me. The colour is fading now.
Regarding the current treatment I am on, do you suggest me to discontinue it? I was bit dissatisfied with the previous gastroenterologist because:
a) He was inattentive and non-interective towards me.
b) Also, after the endoscopy, I was feeling a sharp pain in my belly for several days. I also started experiencing a pinching pain in several spots of my stomach(while I walk)from then. I had to discontinue yoga bcz after endoscopy, I had a pain.
I am thinking of visting another gastroenterologist and undergo the endoscopy again if possible (due to my lack of trust in the previous doctor). Do you think I should do that? Please recommend what you think as good. Thanks in advance!
