Hello I just had an echocardiogram and the result was a backflow in the tricuspid valve. Is this similar to mitral valve prolapse. My Dr. said that it isn't a concern but I would love to hear from...
Hello Martin, I just logged on and saw that you responded to my post, but i didnt see it in my mailbox, otherwise I would have responded more quickly. I can give you the name of the supplement but i...
Hello, I am also a sufferer of GERD, which was discovered last year after gallbladder removal. I have had the same type of symptoms as you and even ended up in ER with tachycardia. Yes, they blamed...
Bobaer Regarding Nexium, it addresses the healing by inhibiting stomach acid from producing too much. Therefore it reduces the reflux which is what causes the esophagael irritation. Thus allowing the...
hello bobaer My neck pain has been gone for the past couple months. I never went to the ent, but I am thinking that it had to do with my gerd. I took nexium and prilosec for awhile and I think that...
Hi gbplus..where do you get your vitamins? Is this something you are selling or can you get it at a health shop? Hope you start feeling better soon. I am having my own issues this weekend. High bp,...
WHAT!!! No way! Do you have insurance on top of that? When I had ins. it paid for half of the script which would be about $80, then Astra Zeneca gave me a purple pill card that took another $50 which...
Interestingly I just posted about this same issue just the other day and Kitt, you responded quickly. The nexium helped my neck pain which tells me that it definitely was the GERD. I stopped taking...
Good point Kitt...thanks. I do have a call into my Dr. I actually stopped the Nexium almost 2 weeks ago but did not have the side effects until I started the zantac more than a week later. I did try...
Hello, I was on Nexium for 3 months and it cleared up my GERD issues with no side effects. However...I ran out of health ins. and a job so I decided to stop the horribly expensive Nexium and tried...
Hi I am relieved to hear that there is someone who can relate to my issue. Sounds like we have the same problem. My pain is not inside my throat. It is somewhere around the glands, under my chin and...
Hello Kitt I just read both your posts. My heart breaks for you and your family. I remember you taking a break a few months ago when your sister had surgery, and how rough it was for you. You were...
Marburg, that is GREAT news. One more hurdle you just got over! Keep the faith, Carolyn...
Ok... be strong. I know that it is stressful but you have prayer support backing you up. I am believing for the best! I did some reading on bowel series. I guess you have to drink some barium and...
marburg I think whole food supplements would help anyone. It sure beats drugs, in my own opinion. Not knocking them. They are essential in many peoples lives, but whatever can be done naturally is...
Hi Marburg So sorry about your dad. I can understand why you would be nervous, but I am believing that you will be fine. My biopsies of the stomach were ok and it was inflamation also. How do they do...
Hi Bianca I am not an expert but it sounds like you had some acidic irritation to the esophagus from all of the vomiting. All that bile may have caused inflamation. You should see a GI and have him...
Hi Marburg The diet sounds good, but kind of restricting. It reminds me of a book that was written by Suzanne Summers (I think) that you shouldn't combine proteins with carbs. I love my carbs, but I...
Hi Marburg, Thanks for sharing your health issues with me. I am very new to all of my own health issues so I have lots of questions. It is great to have this forum and to get so many different points...
Marburg, I was on Nexium, but took myself off for a couple reasons. I want to wean off drugs and go fully holistic. Also, Nexium is quite costly, so I started taking Prilosec OTC until I can...
Hi Marburg I just had an EDG 2 weeks ago. Sounds like my results are very similar to yours. I had one polyp in my stomach also. I also had mild inflamation in the stomach and lower esophagus as a...
Anyone...please feel free to share your thoughts to the above inquiry. Thanks...
Hello This is a very interesting thread. I have been seeing a Naturpath for about 3 weeks and am starting to feel pretty good. It has been difficult to change lifestyle eatting habits but I am sure...
Daisy Thanks for the input. I decided not to get the Reglan Rx filled. I am done taking meds unless I am desparate. I was originally given the Rx in case I needed to take it while preping for a...
Teddy's mom, Hello again. I spoke with my Dr. and she said that she would help you out in getting you in touch with someone. What town do you live in Mass? My email is attached to my profile so that...
Teddysmom I will check with my Dr. to see if she knows of anyone in Mass. or even give some advice on what she could recommend that you could take. It isn't something that you can really treat over...
THanks Karla, I am always looking for natural remedies!...
Teddy'smom I am in New Jersey, but what I could do for you is ask my Dr. to give me info regarding other Drs. who practice her type of methods and who use the same supplements that she does. What...
I also am seeing a Naturopath. She is doing some really great things for me. It is a wonderful alternative from traditional meds. I do not tolerate meds very well and would rather not put them in my...
Hey there, Thanks for your input. I did speak with my GI. He said that it probably is gas and since I had 2 scopes the aggrivation and CO2 combined with the IBS is most likely causing the pain. He...
Hello everyone I just want to let you all know how my procedures went. Yesterday I had the 2 scopes done. Had a small sessile polyp in the sigmoid colon. Benign. Everything else in the colon was...
dnalorg Just curious how your prep and colonoscopy went. I was just visiting your post on this thread and thought I would ask, if you don't mind. I am going for mine on the 17th and still trying to...
I am having an endoscopy on Tuesday along with a colonoscopy. Never had either done before. If you have a polyp in the esophagus is it painful? I have had discomfort in the upper part of the esoph....
Hello I also am having a colonoscopy in 2 weeks. I don't want to go through the harsh purge either. Does a colon irrigation, colonic, clean out the entire colon or just the sigmoid and rectom? Never...
Thanks Kitt It has been a rough couple of weeks. My Dr. said that it takes about a week for the AD to leave the body completely. I hope that I can just stay off of those drugs unless they have one...
Spoke to my Dr today and we both agree that Reglan is not for me right now. The reason I am nauseaus is because of the antidepresent that I was taking and/or possibly gastritis. I need to be free...
It is amazing what kind of sophisticated surgical procedures have been developed. It sounds like a simple same day surgery. In fact, I think that my mom was supposed to have that procedure done when...
That is GREAT news. I am sure you must be a little nervous. but you are on the road to a healthier life. Apparently this is rather common after GB Sx. We still can produce stones after Sx. Yes, it...
Yes, you are right. I think that the mrcp would be the best way to go. You are on the right track. let me know how it goes, if you don't mind. Whenever I have questions about anything I google it....
Wow...I don't know much about the surgery that you are going to have but if it is in the bile duct it seems that it would be something that you need out asap. Did you have an ultrasound to determine...
Hi Having a Colonoscopy in 2 weeks so I am also searching for the best prep. I am considering doing the same cleanse, but yesterday I was reading up on Dulcolax and most comments about it were...
Hello and welcome, Thanks for the input. I suspected that it might be too strong for me. I have extremely sensitive reactions to meds. I just stopped some other meds which may be why I am feeling so...
So sorry about all you are going through. I had my gb removed 10/8. I must say I haven't been the same since. I did't have any trapped stones and hopefully still don't, but my Dr. feels I have IBS...
I have been sick for almost 3 weeks with nausea. I am thinking it is from some meds that were prescribed to me.(antidepressant and antispasmodic). I am weaned off of them for 4 days but my nausea is...
Hi Carissa and welcome! Thanks for your post. I will be having an endoscopy on the 17th which should hopefully explain my discomfort. My GI suspects reflux so I am taking Nexium right now, just over...
Hi Marburg I will keep that in mind. Does it make you more sick if you wait after each glass? Carolyn...
Thanks for the advice Judy...Sounds like the Miralax is the way to go. Hope the GI agrees with me. I will keep all posted with results. Carolyn...
Thanks for your help Dagger! I have allot to think about and I need to see if my GI will cooperate. I have actually contemplated doing it on my own also. I have read and heard enough to be able to...
I did discuss the pills with my GI. He is the one who told me of the warning about the pills. I then read an article that someone posted. It was released in December. My GI said that if I have the...
I just did some reading up on the pico salex. K..is sounds like you are right about it. I just need to know where to get it. It is prescribed so I would have to get my GI to agree to it. I will...
