Let me just tell you that I am a very un-fussy eater and there are not many things on this planet that I wouldn't eat but goji berries are one! I tried them once and will never eat them again. And I...
Next time take the sedation. I handled the gastroscopy fine with the throat spray but I didn't like it one bit. I would have the sedation next time. Do you still think it's utterly stupid and...
Candybia, I think you should choose the free option first. It could have every bearing on your results and pave the way for further treatment. I have to say (albeit reluctantly for other reasons), I...
Yes the consultant put me back on the PPIs for a trial period. If they help (meaning there is a problem), then he will provide further treatment. The improvement is immediate unfortunately - I feel...
Okay thanks. I thought grapes were in the good group! If the acid balance in the stomach gets out of whack, that's when problems occur so I guess that has happened to me. When I had my endoscopy,...
Hi Alcie, I did okay on spinach actually, and I noticed you mentioned kale in another post. I eat a lot of rice as my husband is Thai and it is our main starch. I really don't mind missing out on...
Hi all, I decided to post this separately as it may affect some others. I'm now 6 weeks post fundo and saw my consultant yesterday. My gas bloat has pretty much passed now, for which I'm thankful,...
Well I saw my consultant yesterday. He is pleased with my progress and the gas does indeed seem to have passed. I will have to go back on the PPIs for a trial period due to the burning stomach. I...
Don't want to speak to soon, but since I wrote this first post, my gas pains seem to have stopped! I had a really bad bout on the Monday, followed by two ENORMOUS burps - like proper 7Up ones! - and...
Thanks everybody. I didn't receive email notification of any replies so sorry I didn't come straight back.... Well I just don't know.... I saw the nurse for a follow-up after 3 weeks and she said eat...
Hey there gang, Not been on for a while.... about 5 weeks post surgery now. Have a question.... Did anybody stay on PPIs following surgery? My surgeon said it wouldn't be necessary but I can't see...
I woke up this morning, 17 days post surgery and I didn't have the bad taste. I didn't think I had it yesterday either but I wasn't sure. Hopefully it's all gone now, but I won't speak to soon. Read,...
Agree that this forum was the only place I could get real information and real advice for my recovery. I don't have much experience or advice - only 2 weeks post-op now, and very straightforward so...
Hi there, Wow, the recoveries really do vary from person to person. I guess it depends on secondary problems, plus if you have a full or partial wrap. Did most of you have a full wrap? Before I saw...
Just for a bit of fun mainly, but hopefully useful to many of us (and others) who didn't receive very much (if any) dietary advice. Mine would be: Cottage Cheese Fresh salmon Avocado Papaya Scrambled...
Thanks ladies! I will be going back to work on Tuesday - Monday is a holiday here - so only a short week, then I am on vacation the week after, so not too bad in all. My job is a desk job so nothing...
Thanks a lot Alcie. I think the rice is pretty harmless. I don't drink soda or take drinks with food anyway. I'll do some research. Do you know anything about the diarreah, how to reduce it, or how...
I have this too but since my fundo surgery 12 days ago, I still have it, so I'm quite confused now. It was what alerted me to the return of my reflux in the first place as I don't get any heartburn....
Thank you Kitt. I have spent hours today reading through old fundo threads and the advice and knowledge I have seen here is incredible. Hoping to chat more. x...
Hi there, I'm 12 days past surgery now and am mostly fine. Healing nicely and eating well. I'm quite surprised and a bit disappointed at the lack of post-surgery aftercare I was given compared to...
