I am not sure you are asking me. I am not on a homeopathic medication. I am on 2 prescriptions-a PPI as well as a H2 Blocker. They are working well and I am not about to "rock-the-boat". I was very,...
Just an update-I am feeling much much better. Finally, when I just accepted that it might take a little while , I began to improve pretty quickly. I do have several supplements that I will try later....
Thank goodness my doctor addressed both the stress and the medical issues. I am feeling so much better. And I agree that the health issues can create a great deal of stress. Sometimes things improve...
I really am feeling better. I was able to eat a real meal last night-early. I am thankful. I will look into herbs when I am stable for longer. DGL really, really sets my IBS going, so I am tiptoeing...
I am so sorry you had all of that with young children. I did have migraines with young kids-that was hard. I do not have them now-one benefit of getting older. My side pain ended with every test...
I had a dr's apt and he gave me for anxiety med, plus something plus something to help the throat closes when food does not go down, and changed the other reflux drug which is carrying me thru the...
I am worker so I will be sure to do this as much as possible. Thanks-may try yoga, too-later....
Kitt- I now that you are absolutely right. I am now addressing that with some meds-but just as important through some life style changes. The GERD issue has to do with swallowing which really scared...
This is Mimi 22 boys again. I have a dr's apt today and am wondering if stress, both in my life and now from GERD can be making my GERD worse ? I am one of those people who is a fixer-more with other...
I do not know if GERDO is still posting, but thank you so much for just giving us hope. I was about to wonder if that was too much to ask. I am now back on Dexilant which I should not have stopped...
Hope your apt goes well. Thanks so much for your support. I am sure that that this will get better but I have to say, this is a difficult time to get through....
I have a good friend who has/had uclers and is doing total natural /holistic. She also does massages at her house- by referral only. She is really studying all of this-used to be in public ed,...
I know. I am also counting points for Weight Watcher's and still need to loose a few pounds per the gastro dr. I was almost there until I had this setback.I have not been I must stay on my meds and I...
Thank you. There are many people with much worse problems than mine are. I just do not want mine to get where theirs' are. I can say though, that this problem impacts your life-everyone wants to...
You are doing a lot ! I am glad it works for you!...
I am not so sure that everyone should stop taking PPI's, because it so difficult to tell if, indeed your reflux is worse. I have the burning acid in my throat with difficulty swallowing. Upon trying...
Update: Unfortunately, it appears that my acid reflux worsening was not due to rebound. A H2 Blocker was not successful for me. The good news is that my insurance company has agreed to pay for my PPI...
I just think some are not aware of things like rebound. Also many doctors are simply overloaded-too many patients and do not always find a way to follow-up. I really do not believe that they do any...
Thank you. I have had a good day and last night I slept. I am thankful and will be fortunate if I can get to less potent drugs or ways to treat this. It is just frustrating the we are not told that...
Thanks-you are most correct about the aging. Much of my problem has come from years of treatment on drugs for both migraines and IBS-esp IBS. Then with both problems I cannot take some of the best...
Well-i am sure there are some people who must take PPI's but I am glad to be off-even though I am working thru the rebound. I am so sorry for your problem. Mimi 22boys...
Thanks to both replies. Because my tests have shown no gall bladder issue except the duct-now back to normal and the side ache is gone -for now-no one will really address the possible gall bladder...
I suppose it could be, but the gall bladder was functioning well within the normal range. also I had no stones, etc. I have not had the tests that you are mentioning. As I told you, my problems were...
Joy, I also taught first grade for most of my career-but other grades, too. I have a lot of reading training , was NB certified with a Master's and was contacted after being retired one year-to teach...
I am a oart-time instructor at a Technical school, having retired from full time public school teaching. I have 3 grown children and 2 grandsons who spend a great deal of time with me -after school...
I have had IBS for years. A few months ago i had a side ache-pretty constant and went through a battery of tests for possible gall bladder-showing nothing. My gastro. told me to try a PPI-as i was...
