Hello all,

6 months after taking a 1 week course of Naproxen that completely destroyed my stomach and caused intense acid reflux... I'm still dealing with the issue.

I've tried many things,
- DGL-Licorice
- Slippery Elm
- Chamomille
- Lemon water

I've also tried prescription medication like PPI and Antacid,

Nothing seems to be making much of a difference, except sometime, with time.. I feel that things get a little better.
That is until I go on my week of ABX which seem to be making things bad again.

So I'm basically in that never ending loop of stomach issue.
I had a gastroscopie and nothing out of the ordinary was observed.

I've heard of L-Glutamine is good to restore the internal lining of the GI track,
Do you know if it works for the stomach too?

If so, what is the good dosage and best time of the day to take it?

I used to take L-Glutamine for "leaky gut". Never noticed it being beneficial for my gerd back then. I supposed it help, but did not correct it.

I list how I corrected my gerd in this recent post:

Alxander,

Hey! This has nothing to do with this post. I just came across some of your older posts while looking for something else and wanted to ask you about some things.

I saw where you had really high AST and ALT even after stopping antibiotics. Did those ever normalize? Did you ever try TUDCA for that?

I also came across a post where you mentioned dreaming awake. Can you describe that?

Hi WBF;

My liver enzymes were constantly elevated during my first 1.5 year of treatment with my first LLMD. She had me stop whenever the markers would near 3X the normal range.

When I switched to the Dr J. Clinic, my AST / ALT pretty much came back to normal (sometimes very mildly elevated, 10-20 points above normal).
The reasonning behind was that it was the infection creating the liver inflamation/deteriotion. Keep pushing the ABX seemed to have worked for me.
I wouldnt recommend doing that without close monitering from a LLMD.

As for dreaming awake.. this was happening right before falling asleep, WHEN I was taking LDN.
This started getting more frequent as I upped the dosage. I ended up stopping LDN; I hated that drug for that reason.

Glad to hear your liver enzymes are okay now.

I wasn’t sure what you meant by dreaming awake. I have rare episodes where I get wild, intrusive images in my mind as soon as I go to bed and close my eyes. Sometimes I see scary people or just a barrage of constantly changing images. It’s freaky. I just pray until it passes and then I can go to sleep.

It’s been very random for me. Initially, I thought it was side effects from medication - Singulair in 2009 and then Miralax in 2015. Then it happened when I wasn’t taking anything. That’s when I realized it was a bizarre symptom of the illness that was still undiagnosed at that time.

I have had it a number of times since then. It’s always completely unexpected. There’s nothing beforehand that gives me any clue it’s going to happen. I still don’t know exactly why it happens or what causes it or if it’s connected to a particular infection.

Is yours similar to this or something completely different?
