Brief Answer:
severe gastritis related symptoms.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I can understand your concern for your symptoms.
1) You might have severe gastritis (inflammation of inner wall of stomach) related condition.
2) Severe gastritis leads to decreased production of stomach acid which is responsible for indigestion and produce symptoms of stomach pain, nausea, burping, occasional nausea. Upper GI endoscopy will help to confirm this condition
3) Severe gastritis also lead to less absorption of vitamin-B12 by body. This lead to tiredness, burning type pain in body, mouth ulcers. Weekly Injection of vitamin B-12 is treatment for this once blood level of this vitamin is below normal value.
4) You can get relief from stomach-related symptoms by taking medication for acidity, anti-colic medication for stomach pain and intestinal digestive enzyme supplement for indigestion.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any further doubts, I would be happy to help you.
Have a good day!

Brief Answer:
need to do lactulose test.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I apologize for late reply.
You should undergo lactulose test for lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance is type of autoimmune disease on small intestine in which digestion of carbohydrate is abnormal and leads to abdominal pain episodes and diarrhea.
Cyst in spleen less than 5cm in size does not require any treatment.
Skin itching with rash and possible lactose intolerance suggest autoimmune disease which warrants skin biopsy for confirmation after consultation with dermatologist. But first you should undergo lactose intolerance test.

Thank you ! I appreciate your quick response . Should i avoid eatig carbohydrates and milk until my tests are done ?
I just had more labs drawn today . Even my eyelids are burning tonight ! I had a skin biopsy which confirms hives ( unknown cause ) . They almost look as if my skin is being slashed with a knife amd the docs did not believe they coupd be hives prior to the biopsy .
I have also questioned something being in my home ( mold or allergen ) . Is this possible ?

Brief Answer:
less likely to have external source related skin allergy
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
No. role of external source as pollens, dust for skin hives is doubtful (but can not neglect). If this is the cause then allergic reactions occur only on exposed part of body. Involvement of eyelids and other parts are not routine in environmental source related allergic reactions.
You must avoid mild product till your test, these products aggravates your symptoms.
