I am scheduled for a colonoscopy Dec 31st. I want to start taking a probiotic because I just finished taking an antibiotic for SIBO. If I start taking it now would the colonoscopy negate any gains I...
Ok, so it may be the abdominal crunches I do before walking on the treadmill. I will stop doing those and just hop on the treadmill instead. And I always make sure there is a minimum of 2 hours in...
I never noticed it for years that what I felt during and after exercising was acid reflux and not dry throat. I mistook acid burning up my esophagus and into my throat as excessive thirst. After 16...
So sorry Kitt. I hope you are alright. You are such a kind-hearted soul always there to give us words of encouragement in our health struggles. I can only hope to offer you the same in return. I...
I notice when I eat Ezekiel sprouted wheat bread or Go Lean cereal which has 10 grams insoluble fiber per serving I get oily stools. Is this a symptom of Celiac disease or gluten sensitivity? When I...
The nasty taste happens after each meal but gets worse on an empty stomach. Could it be that my ppi med is too strong for me now and that I have healed some? My GI appt isn't for 2 more weeks and it...
I have GERD and have been taking Protonix for 4 months and it has really helped. I can eat most foods now. But for the past few weeks I have been getting this sour taste in my mouth that gets worse...
I have been on Celexa for over a month and it helps my anxiety but not my depression and males me nauseous and tired. I habe tried Zoloft, Cymbalta, and Effexor but I couldn't stay on any of them...
I have been on Celexa for over a month and it helps my anxiety but not my depression and makes me nauseous and tired. I have tried Zoloft, Cymbalta, and Effexor but couldn't stay on any of them too...
I get these weird symptoms after lunch. I get really bad eye pressure and that makes me sensitive to light and it feels like a dull constant headache that lasts til dinner. My vision gets blurry as...
I have been taking Celexa for over a month now and can't stand the side effects: night sweats, nauseous, muscle fatigue, and it hasn't helped my depression. Can I take Zoloft tomorrow without first...
I have been seeing my PCP for depression and anxiety. He has been trying me on different meds and has also suggested I talk to someone. He referred me to a medical group but didn't specify who to...
I took a muscle relaxer called cyclobenzaprine (generic Flexeril) for a while to help me sleep at night since I get bad migraines from tense neck and back muscles from a car accident yrs ago. While I...
Thanks Its Genetic, Because of my GERD i can't have caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods. I also don't use artificial sweeteners or anything made with them. I never have milk and barely ever cheese. I live...
I am really bad with staying on the medications long enough. I haven't stayed on any of them longer than a week and a half. This time i am staying on Celexa long enough to see if it helps. It has...
I get menstrual migraines like clockwork. They are debilitaing. I take imitrex and it doesn't always work. What else can I do for these? Is there a better birth control I could take? Are there any...
Do any meds help depression? I am beginning to think not. First of all the side effects of them are horrible. Zoloft and Celexa gave me anxiety, insomnia, and low sex drive. Effexor XR made me mad,...
Hi Asmei, I never heard of that combination before. I will have to give it a try. The Protonix is not helping my flare up in my left side. In fact I think it is slowing down my rate of digestion...
Alcie, I have never heard of this. I will have to look it up and also tell my doctor. It would be really hard to tell what triggers it since it is constant day and night. I guess i have to start...
Thanks Kitt, My doctor said i tested negative for H pylori and did not say what may have caused my gastritis. I have mentioned the heart symptoms to her and she just said that is "weird" and...
Thanks zeldagoblin for the info. Fried, tomato-based foods kill me. How long do your flare ups typically last? I have had my current flare up since my dinner Wednesday, which is 4 days ago. Also, do...
Hi couchtater, So glad the surgery worked for you. That seems pretty scary. Was it the Nissen fundoplication? What made them and you finally decide surgery was needed? How long were you treated and...
That's great couchtater! How did you get rid of it? How long did it take? And how did your doctor tell it was gone? Thanks :wink: :smile:...
I was told after endoscopy in February i had esophagitis, gastritis, GERD, and small hiatal hernia. Tried evetu ppi, protonix is only one that helped a little. Stopped ppis month ago ate fried...
Sorry to hear that your Dr and hospital options are limited. I would still go ahead with the tests they recommend. Maybe things have changed in your digestive system in 6 years especially if you have...
I responded to your original post. I hope it helps. Thanks...
If the hospital if giving you angst I would go to another Dr that works at a different hospital if possible. Sounds like you need some more tests and a change of medications. That is a long time to...
So I didn't have the Bravo test today and I should have. My burning in my throat is most it has been in a while. Maybe being off Protonix for the past week led to this. I didn't have it because I...
I am feeling better since starting Protonix and even haven't been so bad this week off it for the test. This test was suggested by a 3rd GI Dr that i sought another opnion from. Since he wasn't the...
When should someone have the Bravo test done? Like how far into the treatment for GERD? My DH doesn't think I should have it done yet since the Protonix was the first PPI to help somewhat. I was on...
Hi Moo'sMum (great screen name too!), I am glad that they found the source of your problems. I hope you are feeling better. My mom had her gallbladder out because of gallstones and gallbladder...
Hi all! I am a new member and posted under the thread about the Bravo test. Is it normal to still have GERD and acid reflux while taking PPI's? Like i know ketcup and tomato sauces ans spicy foods...
Hi all! I am a new member. I am scheduled for the Bravo test on Friday. How long after being diagnosed with GERD and trying different ppi's did you guys have this test done? I was diagnosed in...
