Bloating, Nausea, Throwing Up After Food Intake, Sore Ribs. Had Ulcers. What Is This?

Hello, I have previous ulcers in the past and was put on medication for them seemed is if things got better. In the last two weeks I feel like my symptoms are back so i went back to Gastroentrologist which I had to see someone new and he sent me for an ultrasound to check my gallbladder. Results came back negative. I am still having lots of abnominal issues along with bloating everything I eat makes me vomit, go to the bathroom or feel nausiated. I now have sore ribs. My GI doctor (which is different then the orignal one that I saw) said that he does not know where to go from here. basically called me a lier and made me feel like nothing is wrong. Told me that i am going to have to eat evvene if it makes me sick and I should drink insure. other then that he has no other options and come back in 3 weeks. I am wondering if this is normal. I know that there is diffenatley something not right. Any advice or thoughts on what this could be? Can it be ulcers again? He says no, but did not check and did not suggest any other ideas on where to go from here.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
I would come up with these possibilities for this type of bloating and heart burn, these includes.
1 The first possibility is of recurrence of peptic ulcer or hiatus hernia .Diagnosis can be confirmed by upper G I endoscopy .Try raising the head of your bed about 4 inches with blocks. It also might help to avoid eating or drinking two hours before you lie down.To help control stomach acid one should not drink alcohol or drinks with caffeine in them or eat chocolate or spicy or greasy foods.Also take some antacid but if symptoms are severe ( as in your case ) you may need drugs like proton pump inhibitors.
2 Carcinoma of stomach , as this is very common in old case of peptic ulcer . As old case turn into carcinoma and this is very common. Diagnosis can be confirmed by M R I of stomach.
3 Tension (stress or anxiety )may be the next reason for all these symptoms.
In my opinion consult another gatroenterologist and get his opinion.
Good luck. Dr. HET
