Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 I'm sorry , guess it never ends. As I started reading your message I thought to myself. Could it possible be from the medication? Is there anything you can eat/drink to give your stomach a protective "coat" before taking medication? You're probably already doing it, it's the only thing that comes to my mind. For example: I have a similar problem if I take certain medication before eating. Even if it doesn't have a "take after food" label. I think yogurts really help to coat the stomach, then there's the mylanta and other stuff, if you can take it. Mojo Gastro doc I came home from the doctor today .. with yet another thing wrong with me .. I have been having stomach problems .. pain .. nausea .. etc..and no matter what I ate .. or didnt eat .. the pain just does not go away .. some days it is just nagging .. other days it is a "take your breath away" type of pain..kind of like a gnat .. not really dangerous .. just a pain in the butt!So I went back to the gastroenterologist .. and he did all the tests .. blood, biopsy, and endoscopy .. and it seems my stomach is riddled with "micro lesions" .. itty bitty holes .. he said that it is caused by the medications .. prednisone and theophylline combination .. plus .. because I am diabetic .. that isnt helping matters either. He said he was thoroughly surprised that it wasnt worse .. so I must still have some great healing abilities despite the diabetes.Sometimes I wonder .. when the heck is all this stuff going to end??Then I am afraid of the answer .. well, gonna go .. it's 1:35 am .. everyone is asleep .. so guess I will go watch a movie .. or something .. sighs .. gotta love insomnia .. take care all .. huggles..
