What are your symptoms? I have stomach problems and been through testing. I know pretty much about ailing stomachs. I'm not proud of it but I may be able to help you.
Do you have pain? Heartburn?

FH was just diagnosed with an ulcer AND a hiatal hernia. He has to take one Nexium pill every day and cut out caffeine, carbonated beverages, and anything that typically aggravates his stomach. In about eight weeks, he'll have a follow-up GI ultrasound. The doctor expects the ulcer to be gone by that time.
Good luck! I hope it turns out that you don't have an ulcer, but if you do, they are very treatable.
ETA: FH says that the Nexium is great...his stomach feels much better now that he has started taking it.

I have taken Nexium before and it really does work.

Is the pain above or below your belly button?
Have you tried any OTC medicine?

Have you taken any OTC medicine? I would try pepcid Ac or prilosec.
Honestly, I think the best is Nexium which you need a doctor's prescription but prilosec is very similiar to Nexium.
Pepcid ac is not as strong. Definitely try one of them!!! Heartburn is no fun and it gets so annoying.

Well I am trying the Pepcid Complete and I have already taken 2...its not working so well. My mother thinks its my gallbladder My family has a history with their gallbladders..both of my maternal grandparents and my mother had her first gallbladder attack in her teens
I was describing my symptoms and she thinks that may be it

I had pain right where your diaphram would be and pepcid didn't work for me either.
I went to a specialist (gastroentrologist) because I couldn't take the heartburn and pain anymore. He recommended a test with a scope to check out what was going on. It didn't hurt, thank god. But they could see what was causing the pain.
I really suggest if you are still bothered by pain and constant heartburn to go see a doctor.
I really hope it is not your gall bladder. Go to the doctor and hopefully they can rule that out.
