Can I also add that when I take antacids, the pain goes away, and if i take them for a few days, it goes away altogether. When I eat spicy or fatty foods, the pain comes back and i feel bloated. If I take mostly liquids & bland food (like cream of wheat, hot tea, juices, and oatmeal), I feel better. But if i stop taking antacids, the pain comes back. Also, there are loud gurgling sounds coming from my stomach. I am worried this might indicate pancreas problems. Have a doctor's appointment for next week but am still worried.
