What Causes Nausea, Abdominal Pain And Gastritis?

I have had fullness, gas, nausea and upset stomach for about 3 days now. I do have a slight distended stomach, some tenderness...I have had some bowel movements, but feels like I have to go sometimes and when I try and go, nothing. Just can t seem to figure out what it is. If I belch or pass gas, it goes away for a minute or so, then comes back again.

Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Your symptoms seem to be related to indigestion or an infection (gastro-enteritis).

Irritable bowel syndrome could also mimic this clinical situation.

For this reason, I recommend taking buscopan and an antiacid or PPI (omeprazole, esomeprazole, etc.) for discomfort relief. Avoiding spicy food will help too.

If the problems persist, I recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical exam and some tests:

- a chest X ray study
- an abdominal ultrasound
- a complete blood count
- amylaze and lipaze plasma levels
- a stool bacterial culture.

A fibrogastroscopy may be needed to exclude gastritis.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
