marle,
i hope everything is ok - teke - you too..
i just wanted to let you know that my mom had those same kind of symptoms - and marle when you said you had that huge belch and felt better - that WAS my mom - she had diverticulitis (spelling?) - she had an ulcer (smoked and didn't have a great diet) but it was the diverticullitis that was the culprit - now she just can't eat fruits with seeds, popcorn - things with seeds and stress affects it also - just in case you see this before you see the doctor again - good luck...
love,
sue
