Upper stomach discomfort. suffer with ibs but wondering if it may be symptoms of what they call ( leaky gut ) stomach sore around abdomen and feels like a knot n the upper area of stomach s t tme to see a specialist. My OB/GYN who I use as my primary doctor also, gave me samples of Donnatal and it just made me feel strange. It helped with the discomfort, but I felt like it was a quick fix and don t like the idea of it being a sedative and the long term effects....I started taking Candida Cleanse this week hoping to put back good bacteria in my stomach. Please help ,,,,
