I've suffered with stomach issues since I can remember, I'm now 31.
Early last year I has tummy trouble so saw my GP who tested me for Helicobacter which was positive. I had a lot of gastric issues at the time and burning so I was given the triple therapy and I felt better. I did 2 months of Lansoprazole afterward too.
I have IBS and often suffer with lower abdo cramps but I'm used to that. Recently though on and off I've had pains in mu actual stomach, just stabbing acidic type pains, lots of popping under my ribs, all over my back..... It's all over and I often feel hiccupy. It started last week after a week on lymecycline antibiotics and since then I've been riddled with lots of popping and acid plus ibs.
I've seen my GP, been put on ranitidine to ease it but he thinks I've just reacted to the antibiotics so he's stopped them now. I'm left freting though, do I have an ulcer? Helicobacter again? Or something else nasty..... My GP doesn't think so, he said it's just an IBS flare up due to the antibiotics but I keep thinking it's an ulcer or something bad:((
Could IBS cause gastric symptoms though? I have constant bubbling/popping low and high in abdomen aswell as all over my back. It's driving me mad:(((
