Hello, 8 days ago, I seriously over-did it with junk food, basically a lot of saturated fat containing foods. Ever since, I've been dealing with digestive problems, bloating, abdominal pain from time...
Thanks for all the feedback... well I took one today and I feel fine. Well, the tablets haven't made me feel any better than I was but I'm not feeling worse either. I'm sure as a one off for a day it...
Carrie48 said... judy My persoal opinion is that i would not touch it. My gi doc (and i have heard that others) will not even Prescribe it because of the risk of tardive dyskinesia. Before i switched...
Thanks Denise, you're probably right. I'll probably just take it for a couple of days before trying something new. Thanks for everyones replies. Maybe it's riskier than some meds, but I wouldn't...
Thanks...and just to confirm, I don't actually technically suffer from "GERD" although I thought that's what this was when I first joined the forum. But I've found the people here so kind and helpful...
Hello, I was just wondering if anyone has ever been prescribed and taken this drug? I just wondered if I could get anyones thoughts on this. I've been reading up on it online, and quite frankly, some...
Thanks for sharing your story Loz :) I'm pleased you've found solutions to help you...
Hello. Well I haven't posted here for quite a long time. Hopefully a couple of people here remember me. I just wanted to pop my head round and say hello. Thankfully I am a lot better health wise now,...
Thanks Kitt, hope you are doing ok these days....
Thanks Alcie. I have a fairly good idea now what my food sensitivities are and what I can and can't tolerate. I'm not usually too bad with dairy, as long as I don't overdo it and have loads in the...
Hi everyone. Sorry I know this is not strictly speaking a "GERD question" but was hoping and thought someone might be able to help. Well I have had digestive issues for a long time now, and have to...
*hugs* just seen this, and I hope you are feeling better soon Kitt, you certainly have my prayers!...
Thanks...it's gone for now, it wasn't too severe. Will see how I go, thanks for your reply :)...
Good luck xx...
Thanks...
Thanks for your reply Kitt :) It's settled down now, I think it probably is down to my stomach issues but I sometimes find it hard not to worry. Will see how I go. I saw this helpful link, if anyone...
Hello, just wondering if anyone has read any and would recommend any books in particular which deals with the alkaline diet and the body's PH balance. There's a few out there, I just wondered if...
No one else got any advice?...
Thanks, I don't get it very often, and the pain's fairly mild. With my stomach issues, it being due to heartburn is probably the most likely cause, I just sometimes get worried with the "what if's"....
I occasionally get chest pain, which I think is probably related to my history of stomach problems which started 18 months ago. I was just wondering if anyone thinks it is worth having my heart...
:( Jealous person over here who lives in England, where the weather is hardly ever warm and sunny (and certainly isn't right now haha) On a serious note, hope you all enjoyed it. :)...
:( That's ridiculous!! Demand the domperidone, and say you need it! You've still got your symptoms. All my test results came back normal and I'm still allowed it. In fact, on my first ever visit to...
Thanks, I don't know about T3 and T4 yet, I'll have to ask today, although my friend thinks that it's unusual for T3 and T4 levels to be off, if TSH is normal....
Well apparently my TSH level is at 1.3 - and been told it was normal. I'm speaking to my doctor over the phone tomorrow so can always ask more questions then, just wondered what everyone else thinks?...
I can sometimes have fruit juice in very small amounts. Peach juice would probably be quite nice and gentle on the stomach...it does really annoy me though when some have added sugar in there, fruit...
Thanks for the replies everyone, interesting to read. This is obviously something that varies from each individual. Hope you feel better soon catlady. :( It's funny how many people with GERD have...
Just wondering how to cope when going out? I'm guessing I could just get water and ignore what anyone else thinks! ;)...
What fruit drinks can you have Alcie? Thanks for your reply....
When I go back to working, I'm wondering whether to switch to tablets. Liquid seems better, it's just more awkward to have when at work I guess....
I just wondered, with me it seems I tolerate very little. I can't have too much in the way of acidic drinks, carbonated drinks, or too much sugar and definetely no alcohol. Doesn't seem to leave much...
I probably took them for about a month, but never took more than one at a time. I don't think I could ever have a 'heavy meaty meal' though, no matter how many enzymes I took, my stomach isn't strong...
Hey Kitt! :) Thanks for your message. I am not too great right now, although been up and down I have my better days. I ate oats for breakfast yesterday and reacted really badly to them, hello nausea,...
Digestive enzymes so far also haven't really improved things for me :(...
I had more problems with reflux when on PPI's as well, personally I'd stop taking the Omeprazole, it doesn't sound like it's helping....
Cecelia said... Hi Sinus victim - PS, Last week during a check-up visit to my dr, I realised doctors only know about drugs, nothing about enzymes, etc. They really don't!! :P I mentionned digestive...
I'm hoping treatment for thyroid problems will improve my symptoms and I'm fed up of having gone 18 months without a diagnosis....
Apparently I can take my medication beforehand, although I'm off domperidone at the moment. My blood test is booked for 10:10am on friday, eek!! Weird question, but with me having digestive problems,...
OK then, thanks for that information :)...
Do all blood tests show glucose levels?...
Thanks...I don't know if I am being overly anxious or paranoid, but if I get an accurate diagnosis that helps my symptoms more, then that is better than nothing. Much in the way of sugar affects me...
I've had a lot of blood tests over the last 18 months...don't know if they tested my glucose levels though. I wouldn't be surprised if I have had a mild case of gastroparesis though, I've had...
Hi everyone, I usually post in the GERD section, but thought about asking a question here if that's ok. I was just thinking, with me having such chronic digestive problems (I haven't strictly...
Thanks both of you, I'll ring up on Monday....
Hmm, it's ok I think. I just checked with a pharmacist in a local chemist and she believes combining them will be fine. I also got a lovely informative e-mail from Kitt about the benefits of herbal...
I haven't got round to ringing up yet to book my test! :S I just thought as well actually, can I take prescription medication before this blood test or do I need to be free from medication? Does...
Does anyone know if it is safe to take domperidone as well as having herbal teas such as camomile and peppermint...?? I forgot to ask my doctor when I last visited. I often like herbal teas, and was...
I just wondered if anyone out there has used either of these products when having a bad "acid attack" as I call them :P Either heartburn or burning in the stomach. I just checked out Tums, and I...
Hmmmm...interesting! I didn't get told anything particular with mine, just that it's a blood test, I guess I'll ask when I ring up. I'm gonna fast anyway if it's more likely I get a positive result I...
*hugs* I'm really sorry Daniel. I don't really have any advice to give, but just wanted to give you my sympathy. If you're that upset and unhappy with the outcome though, a second opinion sounds like...
4 hours for a blood test?! That can't be right surely...:S Although I am sorry to hear of your frightening experience. I am not diabetic though, although I do have to limit my sugar intake anyway....
