I had my ultrasound on Sunday, no gallstones, yipeee! The songorapher said all looked well, she scanned kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder, liver and spleen.
I had helicobacter treatment the first week in Feb, I am still on lansoprazole, 15mg daily. I am seeing my GP next friday about having the retest for helicobacter and questioning whether the lansoprazole is causing me side effects. I am suffering all the time with a windy stomach, and low down like IBS.
I do have IBS but over the last 3-4 months its daily, i wake up feeling a full of wind, like an empty hungry feeling?? and it makes me dash to the toilet to open my bowels, not diorrhoea but I cant tell they aren't as they should be, or once were. I also feel full of gas low down in abdo, all under belly button area every night before i go to sleep, during the day it's on and off, sometimes ok, sometimes not. I don't have any heartburn or bad pains in stomach area like I used to have before the helicobacter treatment.
I just really wish this was all settled, I don't want to have an endoscopy. Won't they only need to do that if i am having acid symptoms high up? I just have pains and wind low down mainly, in lower abdomen. The sonographer said it was an endoscopy for the stomach, what about the bowel?
Thanks for all your support recently xx
