Day 3 of sharp, stabbing burning pain under left rib. Tried Buscopan with out relief. Lots of burping. I’m thinking gastritis but how long does it last

How often did are you using buscopan?

You could try an otc PPI such as Omeprazole and see if that helps.
When you see/talk with your GI, ask if he wil do a blood test for H. Pylori.

So far I’ve only used buscopan twice because I’m nervous in case it’s something else. I’m already on nexium for reflux

For me pain under left rib = UC inflammation. Do you feel better when lying flat on your back? / Old Hat (40+ yrs with left-sided UC; in remission taking Colazal)

Yes, it’s come on suddenly though. Started by being woken up through the night with burning in upper abdomen. Since then lots of burping sharp stabbing in the splenic flexor

Assuming you'll have a doctor consult on Monday, try to rest as much as possible and eat carefully, avoiding known irritants, keep well-hydrated, and tell yourself that you'll get through this and feel better soon. It's not unusual to wake up at night due to some new UC symptom. You might be able to find more experienced gastroenterology help in Canberra, if that is closer to you than Sydney-- since your local doctor has gone away on leave. (Here in the U.S. the best IBD doctors tend to practice in our largest cities, probably this is also the case abroad.) / Old Hat (40+ years with left-sided UC; in remission taking Colazal)
