What Causes Lower Abdominal Pain, Bloating And Stomach Fullness?

I ve had lower abdomen/stomach pains for over a year. They come on when I haven t ate or even if I have. Bloating, gas, fullness, pressure....feels best after tums and laying on the floor. The pressure from the floor helps. I take zantac 2x a day. My dr is testing me for an ulcer, CBC, etc......could this be my gall bladder or appendex?

Hello,
It is good that you are being tested for an ulcer. Gallbladder is also possible but it sounds more like a digestive issue. Appendix is not likely. Try getting rid of all dairy and gluten for a few months. Add a probiotic daily. Avoid all alcohol, caffeine, citrus and tobacco.Good Luck
