I developed intense pain from under my rib only on the right side to my lower belly, that I originally thought was from a muscle pull from yoga. But it spread, and started feeling like it was burning. Also, felt like I'm holding a heavy water balloon in the lower intestines.
I went to the hospital, concerned it could be appendicitis; but no elevated white blood count; ultra sound revealed nothing, except a "bit of fatty liver"..
Still have symptoms after 3 days.. No problem moving bowels or urinating (thanks to Magnesium!).
I have Hashimotos, and am being treated with armour thyroid. My temps are getting higher during the day, (98.6 +) and other symptoms are improving- other than weight loss.
Food sits in my stomach forever, it seems. And I have had significant heartburn. Baking soda helps, but I have to take it every day. And I believe that I also have candida. (I'm close to 62 y.o.) and other than thyroid and being significantly overweight, in pretty decent health. But this GERD is driving me crazy. (also, under significant stress....)
Of course, the doctors tell me to take antacids; and I'm not sure if I have high or low stomach acid. Don't want to take antacids unless I KNOW which I have!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
