Is Pain, Stomach Burning, Nausea, Dizziness Due To Bacterial Infection?

Hi, ive been suffering with this problem for 4-5 weeks now, it has worsened within the past 3 weeks.. when i wake up in the morning i have a belly filled with gas which takes me ages to expel and it very painful, i have a burning sensation in my stomach and often back, i also have nausea and dizziness often during the day, my doctor said it was ibs but this seems very random and im wondering if it could be a bacterial infection

Hi, thank you for posting.

From what you refer, I can say that you suffer from acute gastritis.
The causes of this disease are viral infections and in some rare cases, bacterial infections.
It is also a possibility, that except acute gastritis you might suffer from colon disease.

To get the right treatment you need a diagnosis.
To find the diagnosis you need:
- Abdominal Ultrasound.
- Fibrogastroscopy.
- Blood test.
- Liver function test.
- Stool culture.
- Urine test.

You should contact your gastroenterologist and he will determine for the treatment that you need.

I hope you find this helpful.

All the best.
Dr. Behar.
