What Causes Abdominal Pain And Emptiness Of Stomach?

Hi ya, I ve been experiencing abdominal pain a little over 4 months now and it s getting to the point where I can t go to work or have a social life because of the pain. My stomach always feels empty, I m exhausted all of the time and I have also noticed tiny specks on the tissue after a bowel movement and recently - I don t know if this is related - sinus problems. Any insight would be helpful, thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that you might be having gastritis.
An Endoscopy may be helpful.
You can take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with Domperidone 30mg for relief from your symptoms. A stool examination for occult blood is also needed.
Following precautions may be helpful :-
1.Avoid spicy and oily foods.
2.Avoid being empty stomach for long periods.
3.Avoid mental and emotional stress.
4.Avoid smoking and alcohol, if any.
5.Avoid self medications, especially pain killers and steroids.
6.Drink lots of water daily.
7.Avoid gas producing foods like peas, cabbage, legumes, etc.
If the symptoms persists, I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by a Gastroentologist.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
