Obscure Noises, Burning

[Lister]

anyone get what sounds and feels like poping noises from there stomic? also my stomic seems to burn alot... just wondering been on the diet for 3 months and they dont seem to be leaving

[Lister]

take it no one has this problem?? guess i should bring it up with my doctor on wensday then, hope its nothing bad and just gas or something but its strange and freaks me out everytime it happens

[Lister]

also sometimes includes cramping with the burning, feels like my side is expanding and then spasims then goes back to normal and repeats

[Lister]

they seem to start the second i wake up, and then go away about a hour later and them come back randomly thruout the day, though i can avoid atleast the burning feeling as long as i eat whenever it starts, but the poping noises continue thruout the day

[jerseyangel]

I'll take a stab at this --I think a lot of us get stomach noises. Trapped gas, healing intestinal tract, all the stuff we have going on in there. I get the burning now only when I eat something acid--like orange juice. I have not eaten yet this morning, and I'm having some abdominal noise right now--not sure why. Maybe I'm just hungry. We are also so aware of everything that is happening--sometimes we tend to be overly concerned. Are these noises also painful, or are you just aware of them?

[Lister]

it starts as a fairly painfull burning sensation once the burning is over my stomic starts to gurgle a crap load ( this is how i know im hungry) as for the poping it does not hurt its just really strange noisis that i have never had before until all of this started

[loraleena]

You said the burning goes away when you eat. That is one of the symptoms of an ulcer. Have you been checked for that? I don't know about the popping noises.

[wolfie]

The only time I had popping noises coming from my stomach was when I was pregnant.

It could be gas moving around. I would mention it to your dr the next time you see him/her.

stomach burning is the only symptom I get from Gluten. My doctor said your body produces excess stomach acid to rid itself of allergies/intolerances. Over time it gives you a mild form of gastritis. Once I quit gluten (i have a wheat allergy and gluten intolerance) it went away. Now if I get into some gluten my stomach burns instantly. Popping I am not sure on...

[TinaB]

Let me try this even though I'm fairly new (Jan 06). Question-1: you said "it starts as a fairly painfull burning sensation once the burning is over my stomic starts to gurgle a crap load ( this is how i know im hungry)" are you eating and then it stops burning or does it stop burning after a certain amount of time then gurgles and you know you're hungry and then eat? If it's the first that has to be an ulcer.

Question 2: Where in your stomach is the burning? Upper stomach just below the sternum (where ribs connect) or mid way (sternum to belly button) or below belly button? My hiatal hernia bothers me at the top just below sternum. From conversations from the dr the pain below the bb is usually intestinal/colon related. I probably have too many things going on at the same time to pinpoint what's causing what to help you but I found it very helpful before dx 2 sites that helped me figure out what was happening:

mayoclinic.com their symptom checker or intelihealth.com diseases & conditions and on right is 'diseases & conditions index'. You may also have a couple of different things happening at the same time. I agree w/others that the popping is probablly trapped gas or just stuff trying to move in a messed up intestinal tract Definitely talk to your dr. I hope you have one who is up on celiac.

Good luck and let us know how it goes,

Is this the same as the popping stomach noises you've been complaining about all along or different?

[Lister]

it will burn for like 10-15 seconds and then GURGLE and then burn and then GURGLE, but sometimes during the day it will just mildly burn for no reason, i have had a blood cultur done on my stools and also a hemocult card, both where negative for blood- even though even to this day if i look at my movements when i wipe there is a ton of black specks that kinda resemble coffe grounds, but they arnt like piles its like just lots of black dots on the tp, or in the stools themselfs have black dots all over them, but the doctor insists its not blood, but cant tell me what it is. as for the poping noises, it just randomly does that- i think more when i eat corn though, so maybe it could be how my body reacts to corn

same noises

the burning is on my left side right under my ribs, but not in the center, it burns there hten does it, but sometimes the burn comes from right below the ribs- the burning is really random but never on my lower stomic, just in random spots on my upper stomic, but it favors the left side

should I just ride it off as nothing? and just keep doing the diet and hope it gets better? or should i go back to the doctor- i dont have money for doctors but i meen if its what i have to do its what i have to do. but he is very persistant on the fact that there is no blood

[jerseyangel]

Lister--I know you don't have a lot of money to spend right now, but you have indicated that this doctor will see you between appts, and sometimes for a smaller than normal fee. Could you make a list of the things that are bothering you the most--the things that you've been posting about--and call and ask if the doctor can see you? Have the list ready, and stick to what you write down while you're there. I think for your piece of mind, this might be worth your time and money.

[Lister]

if i start rambaling off everything to him, hes gonna think im a hypo again, it took a ER visit for him to finally take me seriusly the first time. Now i have his attention but he is already getten blowy with me since his only response is "You have gluten sensativity its going to take time to heal call me in 3 months" well its been 3 months now but hes never in his office.... grrr.. lol.... ummmm. He wont be in until wensday then im having a phone call with him about my progress, he may want me to come in for xrays again or something anyways ( last time he took xrays there was a s tool lodged in me, and 3 weeks later it was still there ( somehow eveyrthing else is getting past it but it wont move) plus i think he wants another upper GI done in a few months to see if the subsadarean folds have started to fix themselfs

so does it sound like a ulcer? i meen without blood can it be? i would understand if it is since i did worry myself into a more sick state a couple months ago, but how do u fix one of it is one? will it fix itself if i just keep myself calm? and how come eating makes it go away

[jerseyangel]

Because a ulcer is basicaly a sore on the lining of your stomach, eating will make it feel better while the food is in the stomach because the acid is diluted somewhat by the food. That's why an ulcer feels worse when the stomach is empty. Your doctor did an endo, right? If you had an ulcer starting then, he would have seen it, as the scope goes through your stomach on its way to the intestine. I'm not saying you don't have one now, I suppose it's possible with your symptoms. Excess worry also steps up the production of stomach acids. Could be that. The treatment for ulcers is now a course of antibiotics--as they now know that they are usually caused by a bacteria. I still think you need to talk to the doctor because I think thats the only thing that will make you feel better. Here is some ulcer info--

i never had a endo, never had a colonoscopy, my bloodwork for celaic was negative, he just says im gluten sensative because of the folds that showed up on a upper GI(milk shake xray thing). The only reason he was gonna do a colonoscopy was to rule out ulceritive colitis and chrons, but he did that by doing a fecal hemocult test( he talked to a specalist and the specalist says, that no matter how early chrons or ulceritive colitis is, it would cause hemoglobins to pass thru into the stools, and since none at all showed that its definatly not what is wrong with me.

Oh, ok--I assumed that he saw the folds via endoscopy. Well, all the more reason, if you do suspect an ulcer, to talk to the doctor about it

[Lister]

nope he could see it with the gi so i suspect that meens there was alot of damage

i already suspected 1 in the past, brang up the idea to him and he keeps throwing me off saying that he already tested me for bleeding and anemic and nothing showed up so there is nothing to support the ulcer besides for the burning

on aside note- not sure if im sick or if its allergies but i feel like crap today, my nose is constantly plugged with a very bad pressure feeling on the sides of my nose, and im super tired, i ended up passing out around 5pm while playing with my cats and woke up at 9 after the sun went down

[Guest Robbin]

Lister --I honestly think you have gastritis--it sounds like the problems I had with gastritis before. I think you should go back to simple foods for awhile and eat a lot of little meals. Maybe check out the products threads and get an idea for a safe antacid. Also, I was getting really bad acid and symptoms like you describe even after going gluten-free and realized it was from corn and corn syrup products. It is really hard to cut out corn completely, but try for a couple of days and see. What is the new haircut like?

[Lister]

ended up falling asleep because it was so hot today, gonna have to go get my haircut tomorrow.

as for gastritis is it a bad thing? or does it go away on its own? do you think thats all thats wrong with me? or on top of beeing gluten sensative?

[Lister]

also one thing i forgot to add, was that in the morning both my left and right side hurt, not like bad pain but discomfurt, they feel like they are both incredibly full, until i have a BM,but that can be anywhere frmo 30 minutes later to 2 hours, all depends on when it feels like i have to crap, but my sides feel like i need to all day long

maybe there is something killing me, it would make sense, its the only explanation i have for how i feel everyday, always tired- even though iget plently of sleep and even take naps now (been avoiding naps since day 1 but after yesterday i just seem to fall asleep whenever now) always feel very drained(im taking sulinqual vitemens and they dont seem to be helping) stomic is always bugging me and my brain is almost always fogged up.... i meen i have been on this diet for over 3 1/2 months now, and i still feel like this, my body is craping out on me for some reason and the doctors cant figure out why.... i dont want to be sick anymore, i dont want to die, i dont want to live like this though,,, i dont know what i want... im a zombie right now and nothing is helping me... the doctors have came to a dead end and say

You are gluten sensative with IBS

grrrrrrrr obveisuly not SINCE I HAVE FELT LIKE CRAP FOR SO LONG............. i hate this i truley do. and now that the heat as picked up around here 98degrees today. i cant even go outside without wanting to pass out from the heat.

[corinne]

What about trying a really simple diet with very easy to digest foods for a few days to see if what you're eating is causing the problems - bananas, applesauce, maybe some chicken (baked, no skin). Also, eat often if you can to minimize having an empy stomache.

[Lister]

i have to eat every 45 minutes or else i get pains so thats not a problem. As for applesauce what brands? and applesauce/bannanas thats alot of fiber wont that plug me up?? i read that motts natural is gluten-free but i cant find that in any stores around me.

i am thinkign about going on a simple elimanation/rotation diet after i talk to my doctor on wensday, but i dont wanna throw myself onto a very low food diet yet becuse i need all the energy i can get, after tomorrow i work 9 days strait 4:30am-3pm gonna be hell for aweek

[jerseyangel]

Lister--Don't confuse a rotation/elimination type diet with not enough food. You can eat until you are full--you just eliminate certain foods on certain days. I did it for months, and was never hungry, and believe me--I actually gained weight in the last 6 months (In my case this is not a good thing!) It's not a quick process, but well worth it if you suspect delayed food allergy (intolerance). I'm glad you plan to speak to your doctor about this--hopefully he will be able to guide you through it. My allergist was very helpful to me for this.

Mott's Natural is very good--it's what I use. Strange you can't find it--it's in every grocery store here.

[Lister]

i dont really suspect a second food intolerancy, but i meen its the only thing i can do at this point, since my doctor refususe to think anything else is wrong... i really just hope there is not something wrong, my bigist fear is like there is a tumor in me or something that was not found... not sure if any of my tests have coverd that

i have had a catscan

upper gi(milkshake xray thing)

x-rays

lots of bloodwork

bactera/parasite/hemoglobin stool culture

hemocult card

so i meen i dont know what other tests should be done to clear out any other things that may be wrong, im just afraid that there is something else and we wont catch it until its to late, and im dieing slowly without knowing i just wanna live be healthy have kids in my thirtys watch them go off to college and die in my sleep at the age of 99 lol..... but the way its looking im afraid i wont see 23... i know im so dramatic but i meen my body hates me
