I'm experiencing some weird stomach issues and I'm a bit concerned. I used to have a stomach ulcer, which is thankfully better now, but for the past few months, my stomach's been gurgling a lot. I also feel really full and get a ton of gas after eating. It's like I can actually feel the gas forming, and there's this constant growling sound in my stomach that only seems to go away when I have a full meal. It's at its worst when I'm hungry. On top of that, my stool has been green and soft most of the time. I used to take pantotab every morning for my ulcer, but I stopped because it was making me super drowsy. Any idea what's going on? I'm kinda worried.

Your symptoms of constant stomach gurgling, feeling full after eating, gas formation, and green, soft stools, especially after recovering from a stomach ulcer, may indicate issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or gastroparesis, and the drowsiness you experienced from Pantoprazole (Pantotab) tablets may be a side effect, so it's essential to consult your gastroenterologist to discuss your symptoms,

Question

I'm experiencing some burning sensations around my chest and it's been going on for about a year now. It comes and goes, but its mostly on my left side and sometimes it even extends to my left hand. I've had an endoscopy, echocardiogram, and X-ray, and everything showed up normal. My doctor mentioned it might just be in my head, but I still feel it almost every day. I'm really not sure what to do at this point. Any ideas or suggestions?

Question

I've been noticing that after I eat even a small amount or just drink a glass of water, I feel really full in my upper stomach, but my lower stomach feels empty. It's kind of weird and sometimes my stomach even hurts. Also, I've been needing to go to the washroom every 3 to 4 hours after eating. Sometimes, it's like there's a lot of pressure for a bowel movement. What could be going on with my stomach?
