I'm not really asking medical advice totally here. Was just wondering what is effective for other people who have problems like this. This doctor I see has seen me for 20 years, not meant to be funny, but he knows me inside and out. He worked me in quickly earlier this year when I had a problem. It's not like he didn't call something in for me to the pharmacy. And I have had this problem before in the past, and after about anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks it subsides with my controlling what I eat and drink. The reason I am delaying going somewhere else, they don't fully know the extent of my problem, and I don't want that dreaded lighted tube run down my throat into my stomach. The one time I had surgery I woke up and they had a tube down my throat and I panicked because I could not breathe and was pointing at it for them to take it out. I'm a big chicken where that is concerned. Bad enough to have to have the other.

Have you been eating ice-cream? That does if for me every time -- causes pain, not relief. I cut out ice-creamI'm not really asking medical advice totally here.

eek, and no more problems. When I would eat ice-cream, I would wake up in the middle of the night with shooting, burning pain in my stomach. It hurt so bad that I would often get out of bed and curl up on the floor in misery. It doesn't take too many of those occurances to stop the craving for ice-cream.

Have had it occasionally over the past 3 weeks, but not any in about a week probably. I have had an abdominal ultrasound when this was going on and nothing unusual was ever seen and have even been to my gastroenterologist when this has occured on another occasion. He found nothing. And of course any milk right now does the same thing, so I am trying to avoid that. And no coffee. And boy am I paying for that with withdrawal headaches. My husband calls it an inflamed stomach. He has had that before and had to eat bland food. My stomach is always tender where the burning is. Thus the Mylanta, when necessary, and Prilosec come into play. ;-)

the mr and i were just discussing this night before last. he had a big bowl of ice cream before bed, and woke up with pain, choking, gagging etc. as per usual..there's no danger of him giving up ice cream tho, he will suffer thru the pain.

We have chocolate ice cream in the freezer but I won't touch it. I do not need something waking me up in the night like that. What is it with the ice cream causing so much trouble for people?
