Hopefully I am posting this in the correct forum. And I am equally hopefull of finding others who are living with the same dreaded symptoms and have found some sort of relief. I am a 52 year old...
Wow! It has been a long time since I lasted visited this forum. I have been through quite a bit, and I have gone full circle you might say. I was off any sort of PPI medication for 10 months. Ten...
teddy'smom , your symptoms sound similiar to what I was living through. Nexium sorted all of the daily gastro issues immediately. Unfortunately, all Nexium really does is delay getting to the root...
Mary Love, in answer to your question about the inflammation. It has only been two weeks since I stopped all alcohol and diet coke. The improvement is very measurable. Is it healing? That I do not...
CurlyGirly I pop out my sacro every spring when I start driving my my old sports car. I have a tough time getting in and out. I go to a chiropracter one time and get instant relief. I go in in pain,...

Probably the hardest thing to do for people who do not feel well is to actually take their minds off of their health issues. I know in my case, whenever I felt "off" for more than a day or 2 I would...
Apple cider vinegar made it into my posse, but I didn't find any relief in it. I do, however, find relief in apples. I eat all kinds, whatever is currently fresh. Today was a 2 Gaviscon day. I felt a...
I would like to add one thing. PPI's worked perfectly well for me UNTIL I tried to quit them cold turkey. For some reason when I went back on them they were never the same. In fact, just prior to my...
I would like to post a follow up now that I am approaching the 2 week mark. I last took a Nexium on Thursady, November 13th. I can say one thing for certainis I am off of PPI's. Even though my system...
