could it possibly be gastritis? or even bile reflux disease? just did some research.....lots of questions....mentioned this burning sensation a while back to dr.....he did not seem concerned. i have also been clearing my throat more than usual....think that could be related as well??

Some people who are casein-sensitive have that symptom, if they ingest dairy products, but it can also be caused by other sensitivities.

I was under the impression that you have eliminated all dairy products from your diet, but if you're still eating them, that's probably the cause of your gas, your burning sensation, your loose stools, and your increased throat clearing.

it's gas, that's why it moves around your colon, and why you have burning in different locations. I know, because I have the same symptoms. Again, take Zantac.

I'm confused, Zantac is used to supress acid production. What does that have to do with gas? If Zantac helps the burning sensations, then the problem may be GERD or ulcers, not gas, no? Gas-X/simethicone is commonly used to treat gas.

acid causes Gas. Zantac is for short term relief. It is an acid reducer. Take one and lay on your left side, which will enable the gas to move out more rapidly.No prescription required. Only have to take one when you need to take one.

PPI's like Prilosec, Protonix, Aciphex are for long term daily use, and you should generally not take unless your Doc tells you to. Many MC'ers believe that PPI's caused their MC.

Because PPI's and Zantac act differently in your gut, you can take both at the same time. One for short term relief and the other to stop the production of acid altogether. Again, talk to your Doc before doing this.

Zantac is the safest, most effective way to combat your burning.

Good luck,

I get that burning type of pain, if I tresspass by drinking some coffee ol alcohol, therefore I conclude, that it is a simple effect of an irritant on the gut. In fact it usually passes if I eat some stock soup with rice afterwards.
