I have had abdominal problems for over a year and half -- severe acid reflux, extreme bloating (I look like I might be a pregnant male) and discomfort/pain in the upper abdominal area (especially on the right side). An ulcer that I had has healed and I had my gall bladder removed in early December, but my problems persist. In fact, the pain is worse now than it was before. I have had scopes at both ends, my intestines checked with a test that I had to drink a horrible potion to get done, a few other tests to check for anything possible. I ll be calling my surgeon in the next couple of weeks, but I was wondering if you had any ideas that I may consider asking her to check out. I realize this is difficult if not impossible from what I ve given you, but thought it would be worth a try.
