I have been getting an upset stomach for several years, but the catch is it only comes at night when Im lying down, next day Im up and fine just to do it all over again the next night. What is this?

while I have a few ideas, my biggest suggestion is go see your family doctor to have it checked.

Thank you for your opinion, I have seen our family doctor and had blood work, but nothing came of it. I believe the next step is to see a specialist.

Ask your doctor about irritable bowel syndrome. I was diagnosed with that last March after experiencing similar (although not identical) symptoms. It's not curable, but it is controlled easily with proper diet and medication.

Above all, I would recommend seeing a gastroenterologist. A specialist can pinpoint the problem more quickly than your primary care physician.

Hi,
I agree with the answer suggesting seeing a Gastroenterologist. My wife had stomach problems, upset, for years! After her visit with the specialist, did a scope of her stomach; forgot the name of the test, but the doctor will know.
He found a bacteria, that could not be found in blood testing.
I do wish you the best, and please see a Gastroenterologist. Happy New Year.

This sounds like you may have G.E.R.D. (aka acid reflux disease). I have it and that is my main syptom! You will need to see your doctor for a diagnosis. It is usually accompanied by heartburn but not always. Maybe this website will help!
