I have a very sensitive stomach any things that can help?!


Question: I have a very sensitive stomach any things that can help?
It hurts all the time but Im used to it but if I don't eat or eat something like an apple alone the acids hurt it, and im slightly lactosent tolerant, I can't eat white flour or white sugar with out it hurting and little things here and there including alcohol. normally I can deal with it but after drinking which I don't do often it hurts for hours the next day. I try to take pills for lactose, and with pro-biotic culture and that aids digestion foods but I don't always have those with me and I don't like taking them with every meal. Im pretty healthy too and ive noticed bananas help sometimes and I eat yogurt allot, any other ideas?

I'm sorry that you're not feeling well. Please though do NOT try to provide a self-diagnosis or engage in self-treatment especially since you're still having difficulty. Please instead get a referral from your family doctor to a gastrointestinal (GI) doctor for further assessment in order to rule out colitis (inflammation of the colon which is part of the large intestine) and other more serious digestive disorders. If you have actual inflammation (and not to cause a panic) and it's not treated, it may change the cell structure and make a person more susceptible to even developing cancer.

In the meantime (before talking with your doctor), how about asking your *Pharmacist* about over-the-counter prevacid to to try help keep the stomach juices from splashing the esophagus and talking with the pharmacist about your stomach (though not in place of talking with your doctor).
