became very ill 2 yrs ago in march. ER said it was virel gasteritis, problem became worse, ER said is was chronic Gasteritis. fevers, chills, dirreia, nausea, couldnt eat for 2 weeks. admited to hospital for 2 days .started feeling better so they let me go home. Same night symptoms came back with major anxiety attack ( never had one before) My Family Dr. did a hide a scan and said I had gallbladder failier, so it was removed. But I am still very ill. 20 out of 30 days a month. Yes, blood in stool. comes and goes. I take xaxax , phenergan ( as needed) and Dexilant. Now I have an itch (both places) could that be a side effect of the dexilant. And can any of these medications make my stomach hurt ? This is a everyday thing. most days I dont get out of bed but I try. I am 45 yrs old . dont drink, or do drugs. never take pain pills. they say stress was the cause of my problem.
