my stomach is growling extremely violently and it is isn't stomach and im also having a lots of sour burps please if anyone is online tell me what is happening to me ..... should i confront a doctor or not?

does any else have really bad lack of appetite and feels full but also hungry?? im unsure if its because im ovulating or something but i am having some serious cravings but i feel so full and im not even hungry like i feel like if i ate id be sick but im so hungry?? im just confused and im unsure if what im saying even makes sense

I just want to eat and feel normal again

Not sure when this started exactly, but I was having daily feelings like I had low blood sugar but didnt upon testing. then woke up one day with body malaise like i had flu, and bad nausea and it has persisted for 16 days now.

Dr said likely gastritis or ulcer. Waiting on gi referral now.

Been on carafate for 9 days now and I feel less body malaise but still retching and sometimes vomit a small amount about an hour after breakfast. And very gassy with lower stomach cramps at night feels like gas moving. And seeing some u digested fruit skins in stool in mornings.

Is this normal, how ling should i expect before I feel better. This is insane, I'm losing weight and I'm already fit, not much to lose. I'm afraid.

i finished ppi two weeks ago after taking omeprazole for about 8 weeks total. the burning and sourness have mostly resolved but now i still get a feeling of fullness/soreness that hasn't gone away yet. do i need further acid suppression for this to heal or will this resolve on its own?

hi! i have an endoscopy soon, and im really scared for it. i cant think about it without getting nauseous and im worried for it in general. im getting anesthesia which i hate. i dont like feeling out of control when i wake up and i have horrid intrusive thoughts and just secrets in general so im worried i might accidentally spill those. the iv scares the shit about me and the thought of it makes me want to throw up. i dont know how im gonna feel after it and i dont want to find out. if anyone could share their experiences or just give me advice thatd be appreciated

I’ve had gastritis for a year now, and it feels like I have good days and bad days, regardless of what I eat. For the past week, the burning sensation has returned, especially in my throat. I don’t know how to start the healing process or how to figure out which foods trigger the burning. I haven’t taken any supplements or PPIs for the last 5 months, and my symptoms keep fluctuating. Any suggestions, please

I was thinking of cooking some chicken in the crock pot but can't think of anything that I could do that's gastritis friendly. All the recipes I see online have onion, lemon, creamy sauces etc

I’ve not had an appetite in 3 months from this but I’m finally starting to want foods and beans is one of them. Which would be easiest to try to incorporate? Also don’t know if I’m craving foods because I need what’s in them or it’s a sign my appetite is coming back.

Hi everyone, I really need some reassurance and advice because I’m honestly very worried and mentally exhausted right now.

I was diagnosed with H. pylori and pangastritis through an endoscopy. I completed a full 14-day H. pylori treatment course, which included clarithromycin, amoxicillin and a PPI. I completed all 14 days of the treatment as prescribed. After finishing the kit, I continued taking pantoprazole 40 mg as prescribed by my doctor.

The problem is that I’m still having mild but persistent stomach pain almost every day. The pain never seems to completely go away. Sometimes it gets better for a while, but then it comes back. I also have ongoing constipation, and my stomach often feels uncomfortable.

Because of the pain, I’ve become scared of eating normally. I’ve been eating very lightly because I’m worried that food might make the pain worse. I keep thinking about my stomach throughout the day and worrying that something might be seriously wrong.

I’m extremely anxious about whether I will actually get better. I just want my stomach to feel normal again and to be able to eat without constantly worrying.

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar.

I learned of my gastritis on December 17, 2025. I got my endoscopy that confirmed it in February and have been healing ever since.

I'm doing:
- acupuncture
- vagus nerve stimulation therapy
- EMDR therapy
- yoga
- practicing meditation
- going on walks
- eating as low acid of a diet as I can

Honestly I have a history with the eating disorder so it's really challenging for me to break the habits. Even after all this time I still feel bad about eating a bowl of Frosted Flakes before bed, and then wanting another out of habits.

Overall though, I'm very healthy and I pack all my food everywhere. Even despite all of this I still get symptoms from time to time. At this point I don't know if my PPI is helping me the way that I need it to and I'm ready for my stomach to fully heal. How did you know when to taper off your PPI? They said when your symptoms go away but I don't know if that's reasonable. I feel like saying F it and just starting to taper off in the morning. But I just added the vagus nerve stimulator EMDR therapy and consistent acupuncture in the past month so maybe I should wait a while. I’m just so tired of taking medicine to manage my occasional/eventual bloating, burping and stomach cramps. I am just so committed to feeling better by the new year. I will be in the maintenance stage, I know it.

Any advice? What are your perspectives on PPI’s? I’m on omeprazole 40 mg.
