Stomach pain, excessive (and trapped) never ending gas..

A couple of weeks ago when on holiday I had a spontaneous episode of excruciating painful stomach cramps which came and went for 48 hours. It was worse than labour. I was checked out when I got home under the advice of 111 as they said it sounded like gallstones.

Bloods taken and I was told gallstones unlikely as bloods were fine so I was prescribed omazeprole as they suspected gastritis (I do have a sensitive stomach after years of ibuprofen use to treat a separate pain condition)

Personally, I wondered whether it was an ulcer.

So I've been taking the omazeprole for 1 week now and whilst the pain isn't at the level it was to begin with its very much still there and I have ALOT of trapped wind / gas. Continuously.

Does this sound like it may be a food intolerance of some sort? IBS? Gastritis as they thought?

My story is very similar. One evening I had excruciating sun in upper abdomen after having just a couple of sips of Prosecco and a Dorito crisp. It was so bad I was sweating and then on hands and knees with pain and feeling sick. Had ambulance called as I couldn’t move. Hospital gave chest X-ray as sweating didn’t fit with the pain. All bloods came back ok so diagnosed gastritis and I gave me omeprazole. I had similar stomach upsets before and had been on lansoprazole so am now on that but apart from the excruciating pain I had that evening not a lot has changed. I still have stomach ache, gurgling and belching and pretty much nauseous feeling all the time. I just don’t feel like I have an appetite either and am to worried to eat incase it makes me feel worse. My head is doing over time now as it’s gone on to long but I have consultation tonight with the hope of getting an endoscopy. I’m thinking the worst things. I’m asking everyone can gastritis if it’s that really be this painful??

The pain is in my upper middle stomach and now around my right side to my back. I’ve had my gallbladder out and the hospital had already checked for pancreatitis
