/community/emoticons/smilewinkgrin.gif i all, I was just curious if there's anyone here that has had stomach polyps that came back as cancerous? One of the major concerns I have for being on this...
I wondered the same thing. The main reason I went to the doctor originally was due to some breathing problems. So I started taking PPI's. While on the PPI's for a while, I started to reflux for the...
Hi Moo'sMum, I do take the ACV and aloe vera. I follow all the guidelines for the gerd diet. I generally eat fruits and vegetables and when I splurge, it's usually for a peanut butter and jelly...
Hi Denise, Thanks for your reply. I'm glad to see that there are people still making it through this struggle with 20 years of experience taking them. Honestly, I thought that I could beat this...
I have an appointment with an ENT doctor tomorrow, however it didn't even sound like the lady I scheduled it with knew what LPR even was! So I'm going into this appointment with the understanding...
How do you people find hope in your daily life? This disease kicks my butt day-in and day-out. I'm only 30 and I feel like I'll be lucky to make it to 60. I think I have LPR, I never get heartburn. I...
I'm not giving up with trying to figure this out. My only fear is that those people that are in the NERD category (non-erosive) are people with not too much acid, but not enough. If I'm taking acid...
I'm actually not taking medicine at all right now and I can't decide if I should get back on them. That's my dilemma. The only real issue I have is that I get a little difficulty swallowing at times....
Alcie, If someone young like me is taking the medicine, would you recommend getting any specific checkups throughout the time we're on the medicine? My dr seemed to think that I shouldn't come back...
Please don't throw in the towel. There are too many of us that are fighting through this painful disease. There are enough good things in life to struggle through the bad times for. Like you, I've...
Hi Joy, Does that mean that the doctors will start to push surgery after 10+ years on the medicine if you start to grow polyps? I'm really just trying to find out what I should do if I want to make...
Alcie, You bring up a very important discussion for me. Part of the main reasons why I wanted to get off nexium was due to my age. I knew all the concerns (possible increase in: osteoperosis,...
Yeah, Apples are a known holistic cure for heartburn/reflux. Perhaps you can also try to stick to an alkaline diet vs. an acidic one. Some fruits and vegetables are more acidic and may worsen the...
Sorry, I don't mean to be negative about it. It's just a very confusing and painful disease!!! How long were you taking nexium?...
From what I've read and researched, if you take ACV when you have heartburn, it means that you don't have enough acid in your stomach. If it doesn't help and makes things worse, you might have too...
Hey, Have you tried using organic ACV? I usually took that (diluted in water) after meals. I also take a dgl pill, 20 minutes before eating. I usually eat 5-6 meals a day and usually just one serving...
Hi Alcie, After researching this condition for so long, I'm not sure I agree that PPI therapy is necessary (for me, at least), especially since a lot of cases show that they don't work thoroughly....
I was researching Non-erosive reflux and found this information. Since I'm not a doctor, I have no idea if this impacts me or any of you, but I found this very comforting/sickening at the same time....
Thanks for the reply Zelda (awesome name btw). It kind of answers my question. I started having trouble swallowing when I was taking 40mg of Nexium. The dr was wanting me to double up on the medicine...
I'll have to check into that test. At least it can put my mind at ease....
I was taking Nexium 40mg at the time that I stopped taking them. The only test that I had was the endoscopy, which was done 5 months ago and it didn't show any damage. Back then, I didn't have any of...
I stopped taking medicine over a month ago, however I'm trying to decide if I should get back on them. I don't have heartburn anymore, however sometimes throughout the day I'll have difficulty...
Thanks guys, Anyone else that stopped taking the medicine and can share when they will have another scope or have had one? Did it show anything?...
I wanted to let you know that I have reduced my carb in-take and have been taking apple cider vinegar with my meals and have stopped taking medicine. It is possible to get off the medicine, it just...
Hello, I'm new to this forum. I was diagnosed with GERD about 5 months ago and took Kapidex (dexilent) for about 4 months. I stopped taking the medicine 27 days ago and started going with ACV with...
