Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

A two year history of gastric problems is quite long. It needs further investigations to find out the exact cause.

I would suggest the following investigations in view of 2 possibilities: abdominal tuberculosis (TB) or any growth.

1. Stool for occult blood

2. CBC, ESR, IgM and IgG for TB

3. CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) levels

4. Double contrast Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan of the abdomen.

5. Thyroid studies.

There is no point taking antibiotics or antacids if they are not working.

Regards,
