Heartburn

Worth getting it checked out. I had what I thought was heartburn for 5 months on and off. Turns out I needed gallbladder removed.

I've got a gallstone ( i know because they spotted it during a scan for something else) and have had years of acid indigestion. Is that why you had yours removed?

I got my results from the "upper GI endoscopy" (camera in the stomach) today: "There was no evidence of Barrett's mucosa or other complications from the reflux. There was some gastritis. Biopsy was negative for Helicobacter and histopathology showed some mild non-specific gastritis."
They basically advise carrying on with the omeprazole at the lowest dose possible.

See a GP.

Acid can damage your throat and/or esophagus, possibly changing cells. Dangerous.

I have damage caused by acid and was warned in no uncertain terms to avoid it.

Omeprazole plus Gaviscon :
Omeprazole 20mg - One twice a day.
Gaviscon advance.

Years of pints of Bitter and pies and City aways has a cost.

What were you putting down your throat at City aways other than beer and pies? ;-)

I had episodes of absolute agony where I thought I was having a heart attack or something (assume that was the gallstones), indigestion and a permanent ache/pain under my ribs. It took 3 visits to the doctors for them to send me for an ultrasound. Had the gallbladder out about 2 months later and no problems since.
