I have been in pain since April 1st. Bad stomach pains/spasms, diarrhea twice which were yellowish, but otherwise just hurts when I eat or drink especially anything yummy or caffeine. My doc said I have GERD and I took Prevacid for two weeks which helped but now it is back just as bad. Hurts in the middle upper quadrant. I have been barely eating anything. Stomach isn’t upset just pain. I did to get in with my GI but he is so busy. Ugh!!

You need to be following a GERD-friendly diet, and caeffine is probably not something you should be consuming right now. If you haven't already, you should have an endoscopy to get a better idea what is going on with your stomach. We aren't medical professionals on the Forum, so there is no way we could speculate whether you have GERD or an ulcer.
