Ah I see. I don't know about the incidence with menopause as it's something I've had for a long time, I've always had problems with my digestive system. I had a gastroscopy a few weeks ago because of reflux and upper abdominal pain. It's the 6th one I've had over the years. Have you not had your upper gastric system checked?

I've three endoscopies in my life, two when I was at university and one in 2016 which was the last time I was severely anaemic. The first two were because I had ulcers, the 3rd turned up nothing and they were looking for a bleed then like now. My doctor said last night that she was ordering another endoscopy to be done in the next month or so. I wonder if the reflux might be GERD?

At least that's being checked. I'd been taking ibuprofen 3 years ago which can damage the stomach lining. I don't touch it now. I was diagnosed with Barratts Oesophagus. That's another story but suffice to say I don't hold a lot of trust in what I'm told by medical professionals
