My stomach has been messed up now for the past few months.
I've had tests done and the doc said its esophagitis.
I have been taking dexilant for it for about 2 months
but my stomach is still hurting randomly. I'll also get a diarrhea
spell every couple of weeks and then be constipated. I also feel bloated and full sometimes.I'm trying not to be worried about this but with
anxiety is hard to do. I'm just not sure what could be
wrong with my stomach and I'm trying to make sure whatever it is
is not going to kill me.

Sounds like IBS could be in the mix. Have you tried any antispasmotics like Bentyl or Levsin? My sister has had IBS for years and has used Levsin successfully. She has anxiety so it always flairs when there is some issue brewing in her life. The gut is highly connected to the brain so not surprising that emotional issues can affect the GI system. Hope you get this under control soon.
Thanks for this!
