Neither did I. Mine was all a pain under my rib and in my back and would move

from side to side. No burning, no reflux. However, it was/is (Gastroesophageal

Reflux Disease)or GERD. It oftentimes acts just like a heart attack and can

last for 5 or 6 hours. Mine was diagnosed with an upper GI. One way to find

out is - next time it happens take some anti acid and see if it calms down. If

it does, your on track. If it doesn't, you need to get some professional help

to track it down.

>Edie,

When I first started drinking the apple juice and taking supplements

(about 3 weeks ago), I was having constant pain. I also felt confused

about whether it was gb or reflux. I had spoken to an aquaintence who had

her gb out recently; she told me to take ibuprofen (Motrin) immediately

when the pain starts. If it helps, it's probably gb related. (the

ibuprofen helps the inflammation) I did this, and in fact the pain

subsided. Conversely, during previous pain episodes, I had tried every

type of acid-reducer etc. with NO symptom abatement.

I think that the pain I had after starting to take action was stones

passing. Your question about looking for things in the bm cracked me up,

because I wasn't going to do that either, even though I was very curious to

see if anything " stone-like " was there!! I still haven't done a major

flush, but hope that when I do, they will be more self-evident.

Hope the pain has eased up.
