Hello,
Over the last few weeks I have been suffering, on and off, from gastritis. Last week, for the first time ever, I had black stools.
Gastroenterologist performed an endoscopy and could see two small areas of gastritis (no ulcer) and in one of these areas, was a tiny bleeding blood vessel. He apparently injected it successfully to stop it bleeding. My oesophagus was normal and so was my duodenum. He took a biopsy to check for h.pylori but the result is not back yet. I have been tested for this before but it was negative.
I'm now on omeprazole and it has helped with the acid but I feel nauseated and my stomach remains a little tender. The procedure was done a few days ago.
The nausea is getting to me. Has anyone else had a similar experience.? I feel panicked!
Many thanks.
