Chronic Nausea, Diagnosed With Food Allergies, Nausea No Better, Told To Try Nexium. Could It Be Gallstones ?

I ve had chronic nausea for 15 years now (I m 32) but it s grown worse over the past few months. I was diagnosed with food allergies but, after 3 1/2 months of avoiding all of those foods (it s a long list) the nausea isn t any better. I went to a gastroenterologist who did an upper endoscopy and biopsies but everything came back clear - though, he said there was definite inflammation and diagnosed me with gastritis . He told be to try Nexium but it just made it worse and then he told me there was nothing else he could do. Over the past couple days I ve been having a lot of pain in the upper, center part of my stomach - bad pain (not sharp, though). Could this be gallstones or something like that? The gastroenterologist said he didn t think it was my gallbladder because usually when I eat it makes the nausea better. I need help! No one seems willing to help me figure this out.

Hi, it appears to be due to the ulcer, gall stones, or pancriatitis, or hepatitis. It is relieved after eating means it is due to ulcer.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe pantaprazole, domperidone, BD, for one month. If no response i change to mosapride.
Thank you.
