This are my symptoms; I have a sensation like if something causing pressure in my inside on that area it feels like a balloon or something, when I eat spicy or acidi food with in 20 minutes I star feeling indigestion, inflammation and feels firm/bloated/hard, I feel like I have to burp or like I have to go #2, and I also get burning sensation like real hot in that same area. My dr thought it was my gallbladder but the ultrasound came back normal. What could it be? I feel like something is there causing pressure!!! Plz help!

Hi,
Have you had an endoscopy to look for acidity / reflux etc as cause for your symptoms? If yes, please let me know the report. You have a feature to upload the report by yourself on the right side of this query page. You may want to utilize it.
Please make changes to your diet by avoiding spicy food and legumes, which produce a lot of gas. Increase intake in fruits and fresh green leafy vegetables.
Take care

Hypothetically there are a list of features we look into - mucosal erosion, ulceration, inflammatory changes and other unusual appearance.
