What should I do next for ongoing stomach issues that have lasted seven months (starting with blood in my stool) and have not improved despite a normal lower-bowel camera test, successful treatment for a stomach infection, and trying various medications like Nexpro RD, Happi D, Aciloc-RD, Veloz 20, Acotrust 100 mg, and Sompraz L?
The medications you have tried, including PPIs like esomeprazole and rabeprazole, help reduce acid and improve gut motility, but since they haven't provided relief, your symptoms might not be solely acid-related. I highly recommend consulting your gastroenterologist again. They may consider testing for food sensitivities, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or functional gastrointestinal disorders. Please don't lose heart; finding the right solution often takes a bit of time and specialized guidance.
