Hi there, Ying Nice of you to ask how I'm doing. I'm no better, sadly. I wish I could say otherwise. I do have new knowledge, however. I recently had an incredible migraine attack like I've never...
The biggest issue I have had since the very beginning is that there has never been any evidence of acid reflux, despite one finding of a weak LES. The next test refuted that finding. Before the fundo...
I don't think I can get carafate in the UK but I will ask. It occurred to me today that my health has been the worst it has ever been sine the op. I was thinking of asking the surgeon if it's too...
Kind of disappointed not to get any replies, but I guess no one else knows what to say either. :(...
Hi guys. Just thought I'd post an update for anyone who remembers me. 15 months post NF now. I'm in hell. No improvement on severe burping and throat burn. The throat burn is almost constant....
You're very welcome, Noelle. I'd love to hear how you get on. I've heard a few LPR sufferers have good results with it....
Daxter, I had perfectly normal test results time after time, but eventually my surgeon did the fundo. I'm in the UK. He also is one of the few surgeons who does reversals if you're unhappy with side...
Thanks, John. To be honest, I'm not too worried about the Barret's itself. I have read a fair bit on it and it doesn't seem a huge thing, I'm just really puzzled by it. Every single test and...
Hi there, MMM, thanks for the welcome :) had a ton of post Nissen tests, all of which came back normal...just like my pre Nissen tests, lol! Definitely no reflux, and ph tests said no acid, manometry...
Hi, Noelle. I was given Fluoxetine for depression, but not for my GI problems. However, a GI prescribed me Amitryptiline which, while officially being an anti depressant, is being used a lot in cases...
Hi there, Daxter. You sound exactly like I was a while back. I know, I know, I know. I feel you. I had all the LPR symptoms, but zero results from every test. Please keep knocking on those doors. I...
Hi guys. So, after a recent GI endoscopy to check the integrity of the wrap due to continuous symptoms, I've been diagnosed with Barret's and erosion. I know you guys aren't medical professionals but...
Hi morco. I'm sorry to tell you, my heartburn is cured but my lpr symptoms are even worse than before, since they took me off the meds when the op was done. I'm beginning to think I'll never find an...
So, to update further, I met with my surgeon today, and explained how I'm now having no resistance with food, chronic burping attacks and recurrent heartburn. He decided he wants to take a look with...
Thanks for the responses. The freely moving air is just that, I am a chronic aerophage, I swallow air a lot, worse whe stressed.. Lately when it gulps into my oesophagus it bubbles straight into my...
Yes, I am trying to be patient with it, and I knew recovery could take time, and am absolutely fine with that. If it were swelling, or bruising or whatever from the op I could cope with that. What...
Hi there 1039, and thanks so much for your input. I don't mind at all you giving your experiences,it really helps to know I'm not alone! It is hugely disappointing that absolutely nothing seems to be...
The only thing that helps with my belching is Tramadol. I don't know why and I don't want to take it for that because of its addictive nature. Maybe amitryptiline is a good alternative?...
Thank you Tony. I have just returned home from a trip to my sister's and have had a bad week with heartburn. I have also started to get pain from my stomach after eating and when I stretch up I feel...
Hello friends. A quick recap, I had NF in November last year. Since week 2 post op I've had constant belching. This has worsened with time, and when I saw my surgeon for follow up he said it could be...
Ah interesting, I have some domperidone in. The Cyclizine is an antihistamine, works like travel sickness pills. They work super fast too. I will give the domperidone a try, thanks for the idea....
Hello everyone. Can anyone in the UK recommend a good OTC alternative to Cyclizine hydrochloride? I can't get anymore on prescription, the GP says I shouldn't need them now and I don't have my follow...
Hey Maria, I'm glad to hear your symptoms have given you a few days off recently. Yesterday, I was knitting in the evening after a gruelling first day back at work, and I suddenly became aware...no...
Hi guys, I was wondering if any LPRers had Nissen and had similar troubles to mine? My symptoms have returned post op, I'm almost eight weeks post with my LPR worsening by the day, just as it always...
Hi, Michelle, thanks for the encouragement. I do get depressed since becoming ill, this disease is such a debilitating one and I've been sick for nearly 7years...but 2013 things began to improve and...
I had the op on the 19th November, I have a date with the GI this Tuesday but he isn't the surgeon I have that follow up in a few weeks. I'm in agony. My throat is burning constantly, I have the...
You still struggling, Maria? My food isn't too much of a problem going down now, as long as I chewchewchew but my LPR symptoms are off the scale. Throat inflammation, weak vocals, "wet" sensation in...
Phil, oddly, anything with hexylrecorsinol in it makes me totally lose my voice! Very strange. Lilbrooks, no, I did not get nausea, because the dosage of Amitryptiline is so small. The most I got was...
Hey Maria, I'm six weeks post now, and I am also having chronic burping and heartburn on and off. The burping is worsened by an empty stomach and by anxiety. For the heartburn and throat inflammation...
Hi there Kittley, welcome aboard! My heart goes out to you regarding the lump feeling. That was how my symptoms began, about seven years ago. Like you, I was put on a PPI which took it away til a...
Thanks very much, Kitt, some good tips there Liz x...
Hi Bill, thanks for that tip, I will definitely give that a try. It's a right game isn't it this hahah Here's to recovery Liz x...
Hi guys, I've posted a few times re my incessant burping, which still keeps happening but I have noticed a few things and it might help others with similar issues, post Nissen or not, I noticed one...
Hi Denise, and thank you for the help. I've taken your food suggestions on board today and eaten my usual breakfast but stuck to baked potato with melted cheese for dinner, chewed to oblivion. I...
Hi, I can weigh in here, I was prescribed amitryptiline for my globus and cough caused by LPR, and had no nausea, the dose is tiny for pain, 10 to 25 mg compared to up in the hundreds for depression....
Hi all, I am six weeks post op tomorrow I believe, and not doing too badly, all things considered. Still almost constant burping, pretty painful on the throat, specially since I have cysts from the...
Hi, Edward, try not to worry. If your doctor did full bloods that came back normal then it's pretty safe to say that you're ok. They test for things like cancer with blood tests. Your anxiety is...
Hi David. What you describe with the first part of your meal being regurgitated sounds very familiar. It's like I have to get air out before I can get anything down. It does get really upsetting,...
Hey there, we are wrap twins, we had our surgeries on the same day! Hope you're doing we'll today, I've been up and own, most problems from burping, can't figure out what is causing it, but I'm...
Hi Bill, well my diet is pretty tame but I am eating very little. I don't feel hungry and I feel nauseous all the time. The thing is, before the op, for about three months my LPR had subsided to the...
I'm in agony with my throat pain, it is something I got used to with my LPR but I had it under control in the months leading up to the surgery, but it is back with a vengeance. I'm burping so much. I...
Sometimes I get what look like blisters filled with blood in my mouth and throat, I think they come from inflammation, and they pop and the blood comes out. Could this have caused your blood in the...
Thank you for the helpful advice. I know it's early days yet, and vie read lots of posts where people fear the op hasn't worked. I. Guess we go through so much and the fear of it all being futile is...
Hi there. I had Nissen four weeks ago. Before that I cycled everywhere. Yesterday I had a short five minute ride, and my stomach muscles felt pretty achy afterwards. It's amazing how much your...
Hi guys, thanks for your responses. My op was four weeks ago last Tuesday. I'm unsure if the wrap is too tight because I have zero bloating. Also I couldn't burp at all, oesophageal or otherwise, til...
Hi guys, I'm having some post op issues I wonder if of you can shed some light on. My belching issues have returned worse than before the op. my surgeon said it is from swallowing air and is coming...
Hi there, I'm also in the north east, had nissen four weeks ago. It's good to hear your success story, I'm struggling with a massive relapse of LPR symptoms, hoping this will settle down soon. I am...
Just been to my four week follow up. I explained that I'm getting lots of problems with air pockets making eating and drinking painful...he said, drink with a straw! Does this not contradict...
Hi elcamino, I'm not best to advise as I've only just had the surgery and am having lots of post op swallowing issues. What I will say, though, is even now, as painful and inconvenient as it is, I...
Hello forum, some of you might remember me, I posted quite a lot some time ago with my persistent throat issues and struggles with diagnosis and so on. I had multiple diagnostic tests but nothing...
