Connie, I have asked for a feeding tube from three different doctors and they all look at me like I am nuts. I have tried that already and no one seems to listen to me at all. So I've basically...
Skeye, that sounds awful (about your eye). I'm so sorry you are hurting so bad. I can imagine how awful that must be to live with everyday. I really hope the pain meds work for you. Isn't it so hard...

Hi everyone, Im actually from the GERD board, but lately I've been wondering if I may possibly have some form of Crohns diesease. I had a colonoscopy done last year which came out normal. I never...
I've about had it with this illness. Does anyone actually ever recover? What I mean by recover is, is anyone actually able to eat normally again with out taking massive amounts of PPIs or take all...
Sounds like gastroparesis to me, thats what I have....
Mary, Yes talk to your GI about it. It's strange you only got the symptoms after your endoscopy...I don't think PPI meds would be causing that. Let us know how it goes....
You may have an esohpageal motility problem. Your LES may be staying open too long after you swallow allowing too much air into your stomach. That is what I have, I burp all the time, even when I...
