What are the symptoms of stomach cancer?

What are the symptoms of stomach/bowel/intestine cancer. I have had stomach pains for the last 10 years.?

  • I have visited so many doctors over a period of 10 years and I have not been given any diagnosis.I have started to believe that I may have a cancer. What should I do?

  • Answer:

    If it was cancer, you would definitely know it by now. You probably have a less serious condition. Gall bladder disease is painful in the upper right part of your back. (I know... the gall bladder isn't even located there. But that's where most people feel the pain.) When you say it's your stomach, what exactly do you mean? Behind your breastbone? That's where your stomach is. Lower in your belly? That's where your intestines are, along with your liver and other organs. I'm surprised that nobody has given you a diagnosis -- even to tell you it's acid reflux or ulcers or an irritated colon. Do you get relief from taking anything such as antacids? Do certain foods make it worse? Does it happen only after you eat, or is the pain evident all day?? Are you constipated all the time? Do you have gas with it? Write down all the details... whenever you get the pain, write down the time, what you ate, what makes it go away, what the intensity is (on a scale of 1-10), etc. The more details you can provide your doctor, the better. Also, ask for a referral to a gastroenterologist. That's a doctor specializing in digestive tract problems. You also might consider that it's nerves. But see a specialist first.

Gall bladder disease is usually a disease of exclusion. Check it out on webmd and see if you the symptoms. You may also have problems with acid reflux disease - start a journal of what you eat, when you eat and when/what symptoms you have.

Try a doctor that specializes in this type of cancer.

Have you been tested for Celiac Disease? Celiac Disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease that damages the lining of the small intestine. It is caused by an allergy to the protein in wheat, rye and barley known as glutens/gliadins. It can cause all kinds of gut symptoms and problems. CD is quite common. It is estimated to occur in 1 in 100 people. Sadly, in the U.S. most docs are not very knowledgeable about it. This results in only about 3% of people with the disease in this country actually getting it diagnosed! Most people with the disease just get labeled with IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I suggest you see your doctor and demand to be tested for Celiac Disease. If the doc resists (most likely due to lack of knowledge about the disease) suggest the following research references to the doc: They can look up on the net the journal called: "Gastroenterology". The April supplement in 2005 provides about 15 articles fully explaining CD. Best wishes on good luck!

If you was visiting so many doctors in the last 10 years, I believe they find something when you had cancer. I don't think so you have a cancer. Perhaps nervous stomach. By Cancer you must have a bleeding and I believe also, without surgery or diagnostic all that you probably die already.

Yeah you'd be dead if it were cancer. If you've seen many doctors over 10 years, and they never found ulcers, which cause pain, or anything else, then what kind of tests did they do ? Was check up good enough ? Are you lactose intolerant ? Meaning can't drink milk ? Or anything dairy possibly? Was anything left in your stomach from previous surgery ??? Try a natural food store for advice or look online if there isn't one local. Primal Defense look it up. gardenoflife.com

What you should do now and not wait until later is go directly to herbdoc.com and learn how you can cure yourself of any diseases using common herbs from Dr. Richard Schulze's company. You are never too old and it is never too late to start. You will not ever need drugs or surgery.

I had a friend that died from stomach cancer. He couldn't keep food down for a year before he passed away. Best talk it over with a doctor. Good Luck

first of all if it has been 10 years you would probably be dead by now if it were cancer. but it coud be that the valve entering your stomach is damaged, this allows acid and digesting food to move out of your stomach. This causes quite allot of pain and over long periods can cause some damage to surrounding tissues. If your not sure then go see some more doctors.
