Hello,
I'm having an annoying stomach problem (literally stomach, not gut) after drinking coffee, juice or milk and some other foods, but those liquids are the main issue. What happens is that the stomach region around diaphragm sometimes gets really tight. This tightness lasts for several hours and sometimes it gets so tight that I have difficulties breathing, because the diaphgram can't expand naturally.
I'm not sure what really happens, but my guess is the acidicity of coffee and oj irritates the stomach lining, but it also happens with milk, especially cold milk, warm milk too, but the tightness comes gradually with warm milk and immediately with cold milk. I've tried baking soda with all three, but it doesn't help.
I can't really eat when this tightness hits, because a full stomach makes breathing even more difficult. It also feels like the tight stomach can't pump the food into the gut and it sits in the stomach much longer.
I thought I could have gastroparesis or gastritis or something, but something like milk chocolate doesn't trigger the tightness, so not sure. Googling the symptoms also says you have brain cancer.
Any ideas?
