Help! Trouble swallowing, pain under right rib, stomachache.
My wife is 59 years old, and has been having problems with swallowing, stomachache, pain and burning under right rib and stomach, burning sensation in chest, and occasional vomiting. She has had this for about 5 years. She has ultrasounds of gallbladder, pancreas, liver, spleen, and kidneys. She has also had a abdominal, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and spleen cat scan. Also done was a barrium swallow, along with chest x-rays. She has also had 3 endoscopies in the last 4 years, and a colonoscopy. This along with all types of blood work, and the best diagnosis is possibly GERD, or acid reflux. However, Tums, Rolaids, Prilosec, Protonics, etc. (all of the acid remedies) do not work. If anyone has a problem similar to this, please let me know what it is, and any information about a remedy.
