I have some terrible stomachache right now. I don't know where I got it from. I had some this afternoon. Then I started to get worse a few hours later and it's still ongoing. I'm so nauseous that's not funny. I don't have any pepto bismol in the house or anything :'(

Hi Andrina,
I have stomachache too, and it can get pretty bad at times. I was diagnosed with gastritis by a GP, altough I did not have an endoscopy. I get the nausea too. I'm sorry you feel so bad

Good luck

Is your gastritis chronic? Is it UC related?

Hi Adrina,

I don't know if it's related to UC, I know it started when I was taking iron pills, but it has'nt gone away since I stopped taking the pills, so I guess it might me chronic. I asked questions to the GP but he did'nt have any real anwer. I am seeing my GI doctor in 10 days, so hopefully I will know more then. Hopefully she will do an edoscopy to see what we are dealing with... Because right now, I have a lot of questions, but no answer!

I'm still getting stomachache. Yesterday I was on an empty stomach and had a bottle of water. And it ached so bad. You would think water is ok.

I really don't want to swallow a hose. Is there any over the counter medicine I can get?

Sure try one of the over the counter heart burn medications that you take one pill a day. I took Prilosec. I did well on that for awhile but now I'm on a prescription med. You would think water would be ok but if I have a stomachache like I think you are talking about water would make it worse.

What kind of stomachache are you thinking that I'm talking about? Too much Stomach acid?
Posted 8/23/2012 2:00 PM (GMT 0)
Yes. You don't necessarily have to have heartburn to have issues with stomach acid. A friend of mine had an ulcer and she was put on something similiar. But if your really worried I would put in a call to your GI.

prilosec and zofran are very helpful for stomach aches and nausea. i have gastritis so that's why i need them.

I started my most recent flare with stomach pains. I really didn't think it was UC related at first. Took pesto bismol but didn't help. Even went to my IM because my GI wasn't available. She ended up calling him though and they put me on flagyl and levaquin x 10 days. Pain resolved but diarrhea didn't. Still dealing with flare, adverse reactions to meds,etc. anyway, my point is that it all turned out to be UC related when I really didn't think it was, totally different presentation than previous flares. UC sure keeps you guessing, doesn't it?!

I finally got some pepto bismol and I hope it will help. Today I had stomachache again. But the forums were down earlier so I couldn't write anything.

Ok so this pepto bismol is driving me crazy. Not only it colors my stool in a weird color, I'm also having panic when I cannot use the restroom for a day or two. And I'm flaring. I'm super panicky of a toxic megacolon. Sounds stupid, I know.

My stomachache is still around. Earlier I just had some soup which usually makes me feel good. But I could only have a little bit and the stomachache started. Then later I had some water and that hurt too. But when I had some almonds it didn't do anything to me. It's so completely random that I don't know what causes it.

So I'm having issues swallowing huge pills, even smaller pills stress me out. Is there anything over the counter which is drinkable or chewable and not anti-diarrhea?

I just feel like crying cry

Same thing happens to me in a flare. Water and soups same here they hurt. Strangly enough I don't have heartburn but I took some omperazal or prOtonics those r heartburn meds OTC and it helps a lot .....! Also I don't eat gluten but it was killing me theother day so I had a small piece of bread and It helped so much too. I think we get stuck in a viscious cycle. Can't eat so we don't eat and it then causes more issues then just UC ie gastritis , dhydration etc.
Hope u feel better

I have gastritis with acid reflux...not sure if it's Uc related or not. I get intense stomach pain, nausea, a lump-like feeling in my throat and an inability to swallow. I haven't had an endo but my GI thinks it might be gastritis and/or AR. So I have been on Prilosec for several years now which has helped tremendously.

Perhaps try Prilosec OTC for a week or so and see if that helps?

Well I guess I cannot avoid seeing my GI about this. Sigh.

Thanks everyone for your input.

I get nausea too, I have taken ginger root and it helps a ton. Also, ginger altoids help me with nausea too, but they are hard to find.

I find that my "stomach aches" are, and have (likely) been, colon aches. It all feels the "same" since its all wrapped up in a small space. Im getting better at diagnosing my inflammation by feeling fecal matter move through me, but its tricky.
