I haven't posted much here in a while since I've started treatment, but now I've been researching more and have a question. I've read that people with Bart have a high VEGF level. I have Bart (or so...
Hey Dancingbear, what are your GI symptoms as well as other symptoms?...
Hi there! I suffer from both of these symptoms (the belching and sensation of something in my throat). For me personally, it is NOT related to acid reflux. I've never had reflux and have had many...
Hi mpat! I don't know if you ever come on here anymore, but if you see this post I have a question for you!...
Hey Twitchman! So sorry you are experiencing this. I'll tell you what I've found out about my health a couple months ago. First of all, my belching appeared one day out of nowhere a year ago (along...
I've been taking it about 3 weeks, and so far the only "side effect" I've had is constipation. I've also had what seems to be an intensification of original symptoms. I wasn't sure so I tested...
Just curious for those of you who have taken Cholestyramine...what side effects did you have, if any at all?...
Hi Pirouette, Thanks for the info about the mold website. I'm very interested in signing up for the membership. Is it really valid? I'm a little weary of signing up wondering if I'll actually get...
Hello... I was wondering how muscle twitching usually presents in MS? Is it usually all over the body in prettying every area? Or more specific and localized spots? I've been having major muscle...
Has anybody out there been diagnosed with biotoxin illness? I was recently diagnosed with this after my doctor ran the Shoemaker Panel. All of my blood levels (C4a, TGF beta, msh, etc) showed this,...
hi everyone! has anybody taken cholestyramine as a toxin binder? i had suspected possibly having lyme, so i started seeing a LLMD who actually didn't suspect it. he ran a bunch of tests on me,...
Hey...my burping also happens on an empty stomach and from drinking water so I'm at a total loss......
hi everyone...i have this same problem for the last 5 months and i've been desperate to get an answer or at least some understanding. i was fine one day, woke up the next day out of nowhere with...
Through the "healingwell" email address that came to me?...
Hi Healing...I have a question about the LLMD you referred me to. Should I send you an email or post here?...
Hi Everyone- I've posted before but am looking for some more input. I asked a few other people recently who told me that I should in fact see a LLMD because my symptoms sound suspicious. I'd love...
mpat...are you still on healing well? I have a question for you....
What is "impacted villi"? Also, is Dr. B able to helpe find out if an issue is one that you listed (such as viral, bacterial or yeast issue)? Or would I need to go to yet another doctor? I've...
Hi there Healing98... Thank you for your email. I actually called to schedule an appointment, thinking it would take forever to get in. They had a cancellation for end of January, so I took it. I...
Hi Healing98... I just don't know what to think. Maybe I am grasping at straws and trying to diagnose myself because I want an answer other than "it's just happening". But now that Lyme is in my...
Hi All... Just curious if anyone has ever experienced the side effect of muscle twitching while taking Zoloft. It started for me about 6 weeks after starting the medication (50 mg daily) and has...
Healing...one other question. How were you diagnosed? Is it all through talking with the doctors about your symptoms and the blood tests? Or other tests?...
Hi there...now I'm scared :( I was hoping you'd say you didn't think there was a connection between the belching and the twitching! Now I'm worried there really is... The only thing is, the belching...
Hi healing98... Thanks for your input. Does this sound like my issue would be far fetched to tie it to Lyme? What's strange about the belching (it's really my only GI issue) is I'm not sure it has a...
I'm sorry...one other symptom: Constant feeling of something in my throat (feels "thick" almost like phlegm)......
Healing98...thanks for your response. Just out of curiosity...are LLMDs sortof "confidential"? I will enable my email address so that people can confidentially email me. Here are my symptoms...I know...
I'm not sure about Lyme, but am starting to question. A few questions... 1. What were people's early symptoms? 2. Did anyone have GI symptoms? If so, what were they? 3. Does anyone know of a Lyme...
Opnwlh...quick question. When you had excessive belching as your first symptom, how long did you have that before you noticed other symptoms. I'm over 4 months now of just belching. We're you having...
Hi rj...what do you mean an exotic bacteria that could cause belching? I haven't been anywhere other than Illinois for years so I don't know if I could've picked anything up. As for my liver, with my...
Pluot....I just read some of these comments and sent you an email. Wondering if you wouldn't mind checking it out......
Hi everyone....to answer questions: Mcedge....no, the burping isn't causing any pain (just causing me to worry because I don't understand what's causing it). I do burp on and off throughout the day...
Hi Maria, Thanks for your response. I'm glad you were at least able to find the cause of your burping issue. I'm upset because I feel like I'll never know the cause. I suppose even though a hernia...
Hi Sooverthis...thank you so much for your reply. I really don't know if I truly think I have Lyme. I'm just confused. It is probably a bad idea that I've been googling my symptoms. It's just weird...
Hi will...nope, no white coating on my tongue. How would you know if you had a yeast overgrowth problem? What kind of testing is there? And how would it be treated? I do take zoloft and was told that...
Hi mcedge...no hernia for me. It didn't show up on an endoscopy or barium swallow so I'm pretty certain I don't have one......
hi idad... thanks for your replies. i'm so frustrated with this belching and the fact that nobody can give me an answer as to what started it and is causing it to persist. how can i suddenly have to...
Hi...I was on the meds for about 2.5-3 weeks. I've definitely been trying to think of everything for the last 4 months as to what could cause such a drastic change and cause so much belching. Then I...
Hi....all I know about the acid issue is that my GI had me try Prilosec, which did not make a difference whatsoever. So I assumed it wasn't acid related...I'm very confused....
Hello, I apologize if these questions sound far-fetched and completely off base. I might be in the wrong spot, but wanted to get some input. First off, I'm a 31 year old female and have been having a...
Hi IDAD...thanks for sharing your experience. I imagine I will do the testing since my dr is suggesting it. I was just a little confused since my only symptom is belching. I really just want an...
Hi dencha...thank you for your reply! so this sounds like a test I should do even though I do not have heartburn or signs/feelings of acid reflux (just frequent belching)? All other tests have come...
Hello! I'm wondering if anybody has any input on this. I just saw a new GI for a 2nd opinion regarding my chronic belching problem I've had the last 4 months (have had normal endoscopy, normal...
please help! i'm posting again because i don't know what to think. this crazy belching every day for the last 4 months will not get better. all normal test results...getting a second GI opinion this...
Thanks. I would think the pancreas as well?...
Laineyk...I just sent you an email! Looking forward to hearing back from you!!...
Laineyk...thanks so much for the response. I'd love to pick your brain because I feel desperate and have convinced myself I have some terrible illness. First of all I know I don't have h. Pylori...
Hello- I was wondering if anyone knows exactly what an "abdominal & pelvic" ct scan shows images of? I know obviously the basic organs...but if it's pelvic as we'll does that include ovaries, etc?...
hi james- what do you mean your endoscopy is with ultrasound and biopsies? is it just a upper GI endoscopy of esophagus, stomach and intestine? i had that a few months ago and they took biopsies...
opnwhl...thanks for responding again. i'm just having a hard time understanding what is happening to me, and worrying way too much that this is something serious underlying causing this. for some...
I haven't tried that. My dr put me on a trial of Prilosec a while back which didn't help the belching. Since I don't have heartburn or acid...just belching...would meds like this benefit me?...
