Heartburn and liver problems

Common Questions and Answers about Heartburn and liver problems

heartburn

Avatar m tn ve thrown up on two occasions in the morning a very bitter green liquid. The last 2 weeks, the heartburn has mostly gone away and I do have an appetite, but now I have really bad nausea right when I wake up and it lasts the entire day (just not as bad as when I first wake up). I've also had looser stools than normal on some days after this started. I've had shingles so I don't know if the dull/burning pain on my right side right under my rib cage is from that or something else.
Avatar n tn I also have kidney disease which was diagnosed 15 years ago. Since my surgery I have suffered from severe heartburn, nausea and diarrhea. Often waking up in the middle of the night to vomit. My stools are either black or often green usually no more that liquid. Is there anything I can do to eliminate the need to stay close to home after eating a meal? Is there possibly another cause for these symptoms? These symptoms are getting progressively worse.
Avatar f tn The NP at my liver clinic said interferon can cause indigestion. Her suggestion was to take Maalox. I asked about probiotics and was told they couldn't hurt. BTW: My problem lasted about 2 weeks. Sometimes I wonder if any other treatment has such changing side effects.
Avatar n tn I thought the pain was caused by the inflammation of the esophagus, but after 6 month with increasing heartburn problems I took PPI for one month and the heartburn problem was completely gone. What was left was the constant pain in the right upper quadrant. Ultrasound, gastroscopy, coloscopy, bloodwork and an MRI showed nothing abnormal, expect a folded gallbladder but with no sign of inflammation or something. Im quite sure that the gallladder is the location of the pain.

Avatar f tn Hi there, I have had all the liver blood test done and they were all ok, liver ultrasound was normal too, but they run alt and all those liver test done. They did a blood test and check pancreas too, and it was normal. Actually I had a ultrasound done, and they checked, liver, gallbladder, spleen, kidneys, bile duct, aorta, and something else, cant remember, but all was good.
Avatar m tn My x-ray showed I had a lot of gas bubbles so my doctor said to start using miralax and I did and it worked and things had subsided until this summer. In June I started feeling very constipated and the pressure came back. This was much worse and I was bedridden for a few weeks because I was in so much pain. A CT scan as well as an abdominal xray with barium later showed that it appeared my intestine had telescoped (intussusception) but it had resolved itself.
Avatar f tn What can I do for heartburn?
Avatar n tn I have had numerous scans and tests, kidney, liver, blood work, hormones, etc and the only thing my Doctors can find wrong with me is this hernia and they have told me that it may or may not be the cause and are not entirely sure. So my question is could my hiatal hernia be causing these symptoms when my stomach becomes too empty and if so why?
Avatar n tn I don't know if there is any truth to the old wives tale but I had heartburn extremely bad with my first baby (last year) and she was born with a head full of super thick and lengthy hair...maybe 4 /5 inches...it looked like she was born wearing a wig or toupee and was a healthy tiny 5lb2oz baby ..lol. This February will be the 2nd and last baby I deliver ...its a boy and he's giving me even more heartburn than my daughter did...
Avatar n tn I went to my doctor and bloodwork done for heart, thyroid, liver, cholesteral, diabetes and all results came back fine (again looking for gallbladder, but liver showed nothing abnormal)...last visit to the doctor, prescribed Zantex 150 - twice a day for 6 weeks - it has now been three weeks and this is the longest my symptoms had been absent....I should note that my diet continues to be very bland....
Avatar f tn My Doctor Put Me On Nexium Today. Has Anyone Taken It Before? And If I Start To Stop My Heartburn Will My Little Boy Come Out With No Hair?
Avatar f tn He told me to stop taking the zyrtec and ordered liver function tests. Well, tests came back with high enzymes and bilirubin and he told me to stop taking ALL medications. Ordered an ultrasound which he said was negative, and ordered the blood work again. He seems to think it's liver damage due to drug toxicity. Problem is, he doesn't seem to be able to tell me what I should be doing, other than not taking my meds, to get healthy again.
Avatar m tn Symptoms of GERD include heartburn, chest pain, sore throat, chronic cough, and wheezing. Symptoms are usually worse when lying down or bending. Foods that can worsen GERD symptoms include peppermint, fatty foods, alcohol, coffee, and chocolate. Yellow stool can also result from insuffient bile output. Bile salts from the liver gives stool its brownish color. When bile output is diminished, it often first appears as yellow stool.
Avatar m tn I called because the list of side effects in the literature said this was rare and could meant liver problems and that I should call the doctor. (I have hep c with moderate stage two liver fibrosis) Just wondering if anyone else experienced this. I don't feel bad or have any yellowing eyes or dark urine which is often associated with this.
Avatar f tn I have heartburn I am constantly burping and I feel like my stomach is burning and it makes really strange sounds. Has this ever happened to anyone??? I'm just woried it might be stomach cancer or something!!! Please help. Thanks.
Avatar f tn Another possibility is associated gall bladder and liver problems which can lead to fullness of stomach and pain on eating. Gastric ulcers too behave this way. Omeprazole is a good drug to combat this. Along with it you can try over the counter antacids. However I would recommend you see a doctor and take medication under a doctor’s supervision. Avoid heavy meals. Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, fried food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones.
Avatar f tn gallstones and pain; chronic heartburn; vomiting daily (the whole pregnancy...I lost 25lbs throughout the months I was preganant); and high blood pressure. The high blood pressure and vomiting went away shortly after the baby was born and my gallbladder was removed. Ever since, I have had chronic dairrhea and constipation. Both with flip flop, but I seem to never be regular. The heart burn continues, but is less frequent (maybe twice a week).
Avatar m tn When I eat a lot of hummus (especially black bean hummus) have shapeless stools, gas, heartburn and a LOT of discomfort. And I pooh a lot. If I KEEP eating it, I end up bleeding on the back end because I keep wiping. Track your diet/intake and your bowel movements (shape, amount, color, size, characteristics (ribbon-like, grainy, sandy, spotty, mucousy), frequency). You may find your own correlation.... If you don't, it is as least extremely good documentation to bring to your doctor.
Avatar f tn I had something similiar last year pre-dx. Throat was constantly sore and I'd lose my voice occasionally. Doc said it was GERD and I have to take 80mg Prilosec 2x/day. After I was dx, I mentioned it to my GI, because I've never had heartburn or acid reflux before. He said it probably was related to or excaberated by the HCV. Maybe its just acid reflux from the interferon and riba?
Avatar n tn hey i have stomach bloating too and also have high blood tests high. amylase and bilirrubine. which are your high blood tests? Did you find out what was the cause of your bloating? Are you better of now? thanks.
Avatar f tn I have been having upper right abdominal pain for about 1 year now with nausea and vomiting if I eat anything that is greasy or spicy, they did the HIDA scan with CCK which had normal results as far as my gallbladder however they said the radioactive material did not make it all the way thru my liver and the doctor sent me for an abdominal MRI and they just called me and said it was normal .
