Thanks Laura,
I will be looking into the endocinch for sure...it CAN'T be any worse than I'm going through now...total hell...still with the cocktail, eating is miserable, now to top it off, I've taken so many antacids, I've gotten constipated to the point of rectal bleeding. This is like a nightmare I can't wake up from...I will be calling the doctor in the morning. A co-teacher of mine has said that she's seen cases of esophagitis where the only way to heal it is to bypass the whole system until the tears heal...a-la, feeding tube...I'll be honest, it sounds more appealing to me than this...I've been like this for 5 weeks straight with no let-up and I'm seeing NO improvement. I can't believe with the Nissen and meds, I CAN'T STOP IT! Its unreal to me. BTW, thanks for the tip on the baby food/bananas, I'm just about to that point. I will let you know how it progresses. Thanks for the support. Good luck. Sean
