Hello and thank you for submitting the question.

Your question is a good one and I will provide you with some good information and recommendations regarding what is going on.

You mentioned that you have a kidney stone. Kidney stones even though small may cause a significant degree of symptoms. Symptoms of range from pain to nausea too sometimes gastrointestinal upset.

I am glad to hear that you visited with some physicians who have examined you and determined that the discomfort in your stomach is not related to the kidney stones. However, kidney stones can contribute to high acidity in the stomach via a stress response. We know we now through good research that stress causes the body to generate more secretions of acid in the stomach. This can lead to ulcers as well as upset stomach. I encourage you to take the medication which they have prescribed you in order to lower the acid content of your stomach. I am confident that within a few days you should feel better.

I thank you again for submitting your question. I am here for you if you have any additional follow up concerns.

Sincerely,

Dr. Robert.
