Hi, anyone has esophageal polyps? Besides chronic gastritis, my recent endoscopy showed multiple micropolyps in my esophagus just after about 8 months of my first one which only showed esophagitis. I...
Is gurgling stomach which then goes immediately to gurgling throat common in LPR? Sometimes I only feel gurgling throat. Thanks....
Guys, I'm interested in surgery as I know, medically-wise it's the only cure for GERD / LPR. I have some questions, please answer, especially to those of you who did the surgery yourselves: 1. Does...
Yellow1955: I agree. So far, my GERD has gotten better when I try my best applying low FODMAP diet in conjunction with low histamine diet You can search Yasmina Ykelenstam about histamine...
So pillow isn't enough, thanks! Yeah I know many have chest / breath issue, what I'm more curious here is if there's member who did chest x ray and had visible lung damage including fibrosis. Also,...
Thanks for your response Susie. Yes, I'm anxious about my condition but my primary intention posting this (although I know anxious-based but without intention to scare others about IPF) was to find...
Hi all, I think it's about tolerance. Your body has hit its tolerance to that med so the body demands higher dose. That's why I have problem with these drugs. Any long term drugs could have this...
Hi guys, I'd like to know how many of you had chest x ray and the result was lung fibrosis? I don't mean to create anxiety here, but as I read more and more, GERD (particularly LPR) can damage the...
Hello Alcie! Thanks so much, appreciate it!...
I know this is an old thread, but I want to thank Bruce, you might have no idea how helpful your post here. I was also diagnosed GERD from endoscopy, although I suspect I'm more likely to have LPR...
I'm a new member here and I've been reading this thread. I thank all of you guys because I too, am obsessed with getting Barrett, although I know it is rare and my first (and only so far) endoscopy...
Hey all, I was diagnosed GERD with endoscopy. But I think my GERD is more likely to be LPR, as I have asthma, shortness of breath, mucus in the nose and inflammed throat. I also often experience...
Thanks so much for posting this! I'm also into holistic and natural approach, although I do use medical drugs when in emergency. Great post as I also heard about this D-Limonine / DGL as well before....
Hello all, please excuse my English. I'm 32 years old. I'm a new member of healingwell, although my first forum is in the healingwell's ulcerative colitis forum. This forum helped me a lot with many...
UCwhat?: I'm glad you finally got rid of your lung problem. So yours was an autoimmune, indeed. quincy: I haven't done sputum test. I'd had endoscopy and the result was esophagitis & GERD. My inhaled...
my x ray test was just found only recently after I decided to search it for good in my house, only to realize that it was written like I said before. It was for my colonoscopy which revealed colitis....
hi guys, my chest x ray said "calcification and fibrosis" in my lung. Read about idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) on the net with bad prognosis, only few years ahead, freaked me out. Although I...
Sounds similar to me. Only now does the canker sore kinda come back, before my first flare and diagnosis, I had persistent canker sore on some areas of my lips. I hope my current one doesn't indicate...
I see. Yeah it is good when you finally found the cause for your headache and fixed it....
I see. Thanks a lot, iPoop!...
Thanks a lot. Yeah, I remember it's more common with Crohn's....
I've had canker sore & GERD on and off. Those can be related to people with IBD right? Since mouth is also part of our digestive system? Please correct me if I'm wrong, I've read somewhere here that...
Thanks so much. I'm not using it yet, as my doc said it was only for emergency cases such as severe allergy as I said. I'm not on any antibiotic. I was just asking so that I can get a better picture...
My pulmonologist recently gave me an oral steroid just in case I had severe allergic reaction from foods (I've been allergic all my life). Since I had inflammation issues not only on my colon but my...
I'm sorry to hear that. If I may, could you tell me your inflammation other than the colon so far, or currently? What kind of meds do you take to get relief that targets every inflammation? Is it...
it was written post inflammation...
what I meant was my iron was still normal, but in the very lowest normal range, my ferritin was high, my CBC (complete blood count) was normal, so my doc said I had no anemia (after I told him what I...
Not yet for vitamin D, but I did B12 test and it was normal. Thanks again for your swift response. I heard the tonsil can grow back after surgery but not as thick as before? Any members here who did...
Thanks so much for your invaluable advice! Really appreciate it!...
Help me! Besides UC, I had periodontitis and tonsillitis. I did bone graft surgery for periodontitis and now I'm relatively relieved from this, however my tonsillitis hasn't been improved despite my...
Thanks for your advice. I'm currently not on any UC meds. When first diagnosed I took all my GI doc's meds, after that I was just tried adjusting my foods. So far no major flare like my 1st one...
sorry for my English, I meant that, does the food-related-flare happen immediately, or delayed, but, as you said and explained, it's different for each person. Thanks a lot, your post helped me get...
Thanks all! songlady: so I suppose there is delayed reaction for food-related-flare then? Or is it again, different for each person? I guess the latter is more correct, isn't it? iPoop: Yeah, I just...
Hi again, another question which is important for me: I know everyone is different, etc. I heard about gluten, nightshades, cross reactivity, etc. I'm wondering, any of you has been consuming those...
Thanks all for your reply!...
hi, to those of you who have constipation like me (I have sigmoid colitis), can it cause the cramps, painful flare? I mean, if you haven't had any bowel movements yet. Thanks a lot....
Thanks so much for your detailed explanation! Yes, I do eat carefully like you said. The other problem is, I was sure I had histamine intolerance (I am not diagnosed as of yet, I read it is difficult...
Hi guys, my colonoscopy with biopsy said something like 'moderate sigmoid colitis' (in the paper result it was written proctitis with some ulcers too). My question is, can proctitis (the inflammation...
Thanks all for replying. Sorry if I didn't write my diagnosis in more detail before. Yes I was diagnosed ulcerative colitis (proctitis with ulcers) with colonoscopy in September (the doc did biopsy...
Hi guys, please excuse my English. I have visited this forum frequently before I joined, and it helped me much. So, I thank you guys for your informative posts. I was diagnosed with ulcerative...
