Thank you for the reply. Stupid question, but is your navel the belly button? Actually I'm still trying to figure out what mine is. I think its either GERD or indigestion, I really don't think its an ulcer because it doesn't bore thru the back. I have a little burning in my throat every now and then and in the middle of my stomach, a little above the belly button, its like a burning pain, but its not too bad. It might be gastritis but I don't know. Like I said, I'm taking Ranitidine.
