I take prilosec once a day. I have had a problem with gerd for a few yrs. Actually the medicine helps a lot. When i was younger i was diag with colitis. I got rid of a lot of stress by not working. I took meds and watched my diet. I quit having bouts and did pretty well for years. This week I have had a constricting feeling with bloating. I have not been able to eat much at once. When i take my bra off i am a bit more comfortable. Feel like i am going to blow up at times.
I dont know if this is related but have felt sick the past 2 days. AS mentioned plus mild congestion, sore throat, aches, feverish, needing to lay down.
Has anyone else had that feeling? like you have a belt under your boobs?

Maybe its a gi virus. I need to rest now.
I may go to the dr this week?

Sorry I have not been around to reply to you! It sounds like you may have some sort of GI virus or food poisoning. Are you feeling better now? Did you go to the doctor or did it resolve itself?

Thanks Becky. I went to the clinic and they were busy. Someone told me I left my lights on so when I went back out to turn them off I just decided to go home. The next day I tried to get an appt with the doctor I saw last and he is not available until Tuesday. Its been a week now. The abdominal squeezing or tightness is better. More leg aches and pains. Then this afternoon I started to have lower abdominal pain. I wish now I had just done the walk in clinic. Ugh! Small sharp pains at times. Nothing like gas pains.

Sounds like you really need to find out what is going on. It might be better if you can hold out until Tuesday when you can see the doctor you saw before, but if things get worse maybe you should try the clinic again. Good luck to you and let us know what happens.

Okay I just came back from the doctors. The visit was okay. Dr ordered blood work, chemistry, check thyroid, kidneys. Have to check stool for blood. I felt at this time like he had no idea what was wrong. I felt like I had so many complaints how could he know. He knows I have history IBS. He offered no meds or rx with that. My urine showed no infection.
My lower back is really hurting today but not continuously. I have to go back in two weeks.
Dr did not respond when I said maybe it was mild flu. Maybe he did not hear me.?? I need to be more assertive at times. I know i could have communicated better. Next time I am writing down complaints and questions.
