I have recently had a change in meds and have also started dieting. I have been having pretty bad pain coming from the upper part of my stomach. It eventually goes away. I am trying to figure out if changing meds could give you stomach pain or would you think this is diet related?

Thank You

Several meds I tried caused BAD acid reflux , upset tummy for me .

HINT...for acid reflux or heartburn

Use Apple Cider Vinegar...about 1 capful..added to a large glass of cold water

Drink slowly, and the heartburn will immediately go away

And really, it doesn't taste bad at all !

ANd it WORKS !

Apple Cider Vinegar

ONE CAP FULL or about 1 Tablespoon ..to a tall glass of cold water

I wanted to make sure you didn't read that as 1 cup...yikes !

I don't think it's acid reflux because it's right under my ribcage right in the middle of my stomach. Most of my stomach aches are my lower stomach this is just weird.. Tums and Pepto don't touch it.

really bad pain= see a doctor?

probiotics help for indigestion if it's that though...yeah, apple cider vinegar is great too x

diet related...huh, don't know...unless you have Celiac disease or some really bad allergy? You'd know that already though...sounds awful, hope you see a doc.

actually your stomach is higher then most people think. it is not far down from the bottom of your ribs. If you have cut your portions you are basically going to have more acid running round in there with nothing to do. You should call your doctor but in the mean time try an ant acid just to see. It could be gas pains too. after laparoscopic surgery I discovered I get gas pains that manifest in my chest and radiate to my left shoulder. very odd but now I know Im not dying and a little gasx does wonders.
