Hi Sharon and thanks! This round seems to be more nausea, although definitely the GERD burning at times. Not constant by any means, but...there. I'm sure thinking hard about the PPIs last endoscopy...
Well, great to see this wonderful forum again. I had GERD back in the 90s, went on Prilosec, no issues, took myself off and thought I was fine. Back it came 6 or seven years later (I came here) Took...
Or it could be so many things, like the slow stomach emptying. I really got relief when I changed my diet....
I am so sorry to hear about your chronic nausea, I commented on another nausea page as that was such a significant thing for me along with the GERD. I can still get nauseous and BROCCOLI would...
efplaya85, actually I don't know my times for the emptying. I was told it was "pretty slow" but didn't get the numbers. I have found that generally following gastroparesis diet guidelines are very...
Hi Meg, oh yeah, had lots of discomfort after eating, easily filled, lots of nausea (and all the GERD stuff, and chest pains). I recently tried spinach salad (figured, "What the hell? how bad could...
Hi, Just a quick note on nausea, which I have on and off myself. I do have GERD, which the egd confirmed, but didn't really explain the nausea. Doc here in Montana could not have been less interested...
Hi Mike all I can say is hang in there. you know your body better than the docs and you know something is wrong (which does sound like a yeast thing). I have had plenty of experience with docs not...
Joy, great great news about not needing surgery!! I told this to my husband who was told RC surgery...so maybe he'll get a second opinion!! Bill, you may have posted on this already but what do you...
Tinlou, yeah the fiber does not help so they recommend cutting out most of it, in the way of grains, veggies, skins and so on. Metamucil?? Wow, I bet that was rough. I basically just have broth (the...
Got a new computer and am slowly rediscovering my old contacts after my other one died! After struggling with this for years, I got some relief when I finally went east (I am in Montana) and a doctor...
well, i am now on a very restricted diet but for past few weeks no sx so am very pleased. not doing digestive enzymes as it does not seem related to my problems at this moment, may do in the future....
Hi sure, had all of the above and avoid bread for that exact reason. if you are a full time grad student, go to the university medical clinic which your fees cover, mine did anyway. i have found most...
Hi I et you will hear from lots of people on this board about this topic. If you browse back, you will see a lot on chest pain and GERD I have had GERD for 10 years. Just this year got the stabbing...

I'm totally with the sedation, have had three times and the total sedation by far the best ! last time Ithought I was getting versed and fentanyl but doc only gave versed, awful! I apparently gave...
hi mayok all i know is my mom has barretts and no sx...that she can feel. None. has never had heartburn or pain (just a hoarse voice occasionally). i would definitely ask your doc. there are lots of...
you know, I did think that stress really has a lot to do with this, wish I knew how to address it here. Vacation was not stress free but was a wonderful break, and interesting about the restricted...
AFter having chest pains RIGHT before vacation, I decided to go anyway and, eating a very restricted diet, had absolutely no symptoms at all. The longest I have gone in a while. I basically ate...
Alcie so sorry to hear about your symptoms i am on the blandest diet but sometimes just get a craving for something (tonight, green beans...BIG Mistake)...it just sucks sometimes and yogurt, while I...
THanks! I will look for the NZ honey, i do like honey and i put itin ginger tea no bread seems to work, sadly but camomile and mango sound great,k will try those too! hope you're doing well! Lila...
Hi Kitt thanks! went to the clinic, another ekg (normal) urgent care doc thinks e spasms no idea what is triggering them suggested doubling up on prevacid (up to 30mg/day) and a heart med called...
Thanks Kitt it really doesn't radiate at all and is mostly on my left side (kind of behind my left boob) I have had pain under my rib cage but this is not that kind of pain, and I eat the blandest...
THanks speden!! so, is there any way to control or moderate or avoid these spasms? Not that they're not fun.....:) But I sure would like to find out if this means change ppis? (to kapidex), change...
Thanks alcie and joy! i love yellow squash (and had forgotten about it!) and beets. was not aware of English peas but will look for them (we don't get a lot of exotic stuff up here in big sky country...
Hi Cathy, I've had GERD about 10 years but this time really have had a lot of nausea, caused by specific foods (almost all fats). Did abdominal ultrasound and found no stones but some polyps in my...
Thanks Joy! Nope, it feels like a short (18-30 sec) stabbing sort of pain, that seems to start out of nowhere and then goes away. Does not increase or decrease in intensity. I had not thought of my...
Thanks Alcie! Well several came in the am about 3 hours after eating, although i was eating something (raisin bran ) I have eaten every day for at least 5 years. Then seveal during the afternoon, not...
thanks Kitt and Mick! I did indeed call again! The nurse apparently has not heard back from the doc so not much I can there except wait...grrrr. It's just odd, never had them before with gerd which I...
Ok, after researching food issues, I had a whole day yesterday of intermittent chest pains (on left side). These do NOT appear after exercise (have worked out very hard for past month and never, ever...
Thanks JOy! Had not tried any of the things you listed but will! Have had chest pains all day, which really sucks. I am tired of it and particularly not knowing what caused it! will try tilapia and...
Hi Hope everyone is doing well I am busy "researching" which foods and which don't. So far what works: raisin bran, wheat thins, saltines, cliff bars, canned spinach, lots of yogurt, ginger tea (but...
WEll feeling a lot better but was cooking for a sweat and decided just a tiny tiny taste of an egg dish (with salsa)would not be so bad, a bite smaller than the end of my pinky. What could go wrong?...
HI tweetie! how cool you posted here. I agree that looking on the internet can be a nightmare as people have a lot of horrible stories and its easy to scare the bejesus out of yourself. I sure did!...
What a wonderful visit!! Isabella Rose sounds like a very very lucky young lady!! Sure hope we get to hear more of her adventures!! Lila...
Hi Linds! I have had three endoscopies done, two with conscious sedation and once totally out. i will do it totally out next time, which I 'm sure there will be. But the versed was actually fine; I...
Really sorry to hear this Kathleen am sure praying for you and your mom I'd be doing everything you're doing I'm a 20 year friend of Bill Ws this month hope you're getting a lot of support there...
Hi Daddy's Girl! I am so glad you got a visit! you will probably get more. Everyone sure processes grief in their own way, but, given that I'm 20 years sober and drinking isn't an option, I found...
Hi skfox I have GERD and had chest pains also. Was at urgent care and ER for those, scary! I am a runner, in really good shape, so was totally freaked out that something would be wrong with my heart....
Hi! anyone had either of these recently? I had a hida done several years ago and was thinking I brought my headphones in and listened to a book on tape while the stuff was dripping along...do they...

Hi Michelle, I do not normally post on this board but just happened to read your posts. I wanted to say that I hope you are feeling better. I suggest that, rather than trying to self-diagnose (which...
well tried to post but i guess it didn't take! was just going to thank you very much David. In colorado, I do not believe you had to be a family member but had to match in blood and general physical...
Hi Daddy's girl glad you're posting here! I know so well how hard that "why didn't I...." is. My ex and I always corresponded on my birthday and on another special date, but did not that year. I was...
David and vasquez, thank you so much for the info! Yes, we lived in colorado so was thinking of the live donor transplant program at U colorado. I can't remember the matching either, anyone can match...
