Severe Acid reflux!

I also have Fibromyalgia take Paxil & Elivil for it.

I take Prevacid 30mg in morning 15mg at night.

I tried the Carb diet lost alot of weight.  The acid reflux was a little better. The Carb diet made me to Constipated. 

I have hungry feelings 10 mins after eating.  Have had this for 5 yrs.  Had my thyroid, hormones, low blood sugar tested all ok.  I am suppose to have a colonscopy but afraid I won't be able to stand not eating.

I saw the endo dr. again last week, he wants me to have a Esophageal Manometry & 24-hr. pH Monitor done told me not to eat 4 hrs. before I know I won't be able to wait that long without food.   I get all shaky very sick feeling.

I have had Burning mouth since May of 1991.  It was only my mouth now it's my throat & nose that burns too.

I have allergeries too.  Can't eat fruits like blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, Chocolate, shell fish, bananas, soy, yogurt, tomatoes-even before the acid, nuts, sugar the list goes on.......

If you could please help me at all, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you 

HI and welcome barney,

Geez you sure have a lot going on there. Some of the conditions/treatments etc you mentioned such as burning mouht, I have never even heard of. I'm trying the low carb diet now (although I've taylored it to my own liking) and am seeing wonderful results. I drink lots of water. It's only been one week. I can be slow at times, so when I read your post I wasn't positive on what you are asking help for. I think it was with regards to the GERD? The only thing I can think of that may be helpful advice is to see your doctor about trying a new medication for it. Maybe you can write down all your thoughts and concerns as well as the meds your are taking...don't forget the problems with lack of food before you go see your doc. Then you'll have something to present him with (grouping all the conditions and concerns) and nothing will be left out. I have no idea what a Manetory is. As far as the endoscopy, I wonder if you can tell whomever is booking the appointment about your condition with food, as ask that the test be done as early as possible in the am, then you could have someone drive you to the hospital...that should make it easier for you. Maybe a similar approach can be taken for the manetory. I think what you need most is a concrete diagnosis so you can then concentrate on treatment. Maybe you can ask you doctor about seeing a dietician to help with your diet since you have so many allergies and since food plays such a big role in your ability to function. I wish you the best of luck. Keep us posted.
