I too have had severe stomach pain and nausea (since my surgery 2 months ago) every time I eat. I have a prescription for pepcid, 40 mg. once day. It helps some but not all. I was scheduled for an upper GI because they suspect an ulcer from this stomach pain, but the upper GI had to be cancelled because of my constipation (the barium to drink would have made my situation worse).
So I can't even get an upper GI to Dx & treat a suspected ulcer until the bowel stuff gets fixed. It's like a catch 22. Gina
