For the last year and a half I have had severe tummy troubles, specifically I couldn't breathe after eating and had a ton of stomach acid coming up. I went to see my docs many times over the last year and a half, they kept saying it was just my lungs and asthma popping up, but I knew better, my asthma rarely makes an appearance any more, that was mainly in my late teens and 20's (40's now).
I plugged my symptoms into Google search and up came "GERD" and it seemed to match what I was going through. My next Google search led my here, and your advice, knowing it or not, has been invaluable.
This last week things got much worse but I had an appointment with my Gastroenterologist, he diagnosed me with H Pilori, and thanks o all of you fine folks I knew what it was and had already researched it so you helped save me time and fear!
Things took a turn for the worse 2 days later (after being on antibiotics 2 days), I couldn't cool my body down, my stomach was churning out stomach acid and it was in my lungs so I was gasping for air. A trip to the ER that I thought would last 3 to 4 hours ended actually with me being admitted. I just got home yesterday, and as soon as I felt better I wanted to come in and say a HUGE THANK YOU. All of your messages back and forth to each other filled me in on what to try out for myself for home treatments , gave me ideas to research, and all of it actually turned out to be more helpful them several trained MD's advice.
You all rock! I have a ways to go in healing, but I'm sticking to small meals, meds, rest, and will check in here. If I can ever give advice or suggestions back I will do so happily..I owe ya!
