Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Becky, Sorry it took me so long to respond. I only have access to a computer thru work and the interent has been down all day. I have always had a nervous stomach. Now it hurts in the middle right beneath my breast bone. My stomach is distended and if I eat very much at all it hurts something awlful. I have been eating nothing but peaches and cottage cheese for 3 days now and it's starting to feel better. This is a royal pain. I'm not sure what it is at this point. I was hoping to avoid the doctor. Thanks for the info. If I eat very much at one time it hurts really bad. Any suggestions?
