I couldn't do the juiced ginger but I do often have 1/2 tsp of powdered ginger in a cup of boiling water. I used to have a little honey in it but now I just have it like it is. I think these things...
What are you using to cleanse the colon, Cammay? And what made you decide to do it? I tried the ACV yesterday, Shelley, and it was'nt too bad at all. I am doing okay with the burning throat at the...
Hi Sunflame. No, I don't have sinus problems but I can identify with the GERD. I'm doing so much better now that I've given up the tap water. If you haven't see the thread posted by Northern Joe on...
Hi. I've been on Nexium also. I gave me abdominal pain and extreme diarrhea. They then switched me to Pariet which was more of the same as the symptoms continued but this time I could neither eat or...
Yes, Shellchap, it's a good idea to try the spring water. I've done really well on this. Gave up the antacids because I also read they do more harm than good. Suffered really bad heartburn for about...
I haven't gone to a bland diet, Gina. But I don't eat deep fried or even fried stuff except for stir fries and a few eggs or pancakes every now and then. I have found thet grains and sugar give me...
I don't know, dbab. I've had the burning throat for about 6 months. Didn't have heartburn until I took all those drugs the drs gave me for the burning throat which they said was due to acid coming up...
Never heard of a video swallow, Wayne. Have you had it? Sure would like someone to find a good solution to this acid reflux. I seem to be having a bit more success now that I'm not drinking tap water...
Yes, I'm trying smaller meals also but since I was such a large eater before I might only be down to normal now :-) Anyway, I do have the lump this morning and some throat tenderness so I'm keeping...
Yes, I also had H Pylori but it was eradicated about 10 years ago when I took the antibiotic treatment for it. I had taken different ulcer drugs before that for about 20 years. I have had no trouble...
In my last post I said I was having a colonoscopy and I am, later on but at the present time, I am waiting for the endoscopy to find out the problem with my throat. I don't think they'll find it with...
Yes,Sarah, I find that also. While I have the heartburn I cannot notice the lump but when it calms down, then I feel the lump there. I would rather have the lump than heartburn as that is not...
Tried a little ginger juiced with some cabbage yesterday, Cammay. Boy, that was powerful and then I had extreme heartburn most all day. It's surely true that all remedies don't work for everyone. I'm...
Hi Cammay Did you mean juice Gingerroot and then take a tsp of that? And did you drink it by itself? Awful powerful, I think that would be. I think I'll disguise it in something. I have been trying...
I also watch my diet very carefully, am on the spring water recommended by Northern Joe but I think everyone is different because I am still having lots of pain. Took Losec many years ago for an...
Ah yes, the recipe. A simple one Mash a banana Add this to a beaten egg Fry in a little olive oil over medium heat as the top may scorch before the top cooks if the heats too high These are delicious...
Yes, Gina, some recipes for us folks with GERD would be real nice. I saw the post by Vinny that she does not eat deep fried foods and neither do I. I also use only Olive oil for everything and for...
Hi Lee. I emailed you before I read this post, so I'll give my opinion on Pariet now. It did not help me at all. I couldn't sleep while taking it and spent most nights just sitting on the couch...
Yes bnand, I agree with Searchin-Do your research on the Hill repair first and then you'll be in a better position to decide if its for you. I also have the burning throat and am trying the spring...
Yes, Kassie, I have much the same smptoms as you. Mine started about October last year with a lump in my throat. My husband had been extremely ill just before that and I attributed it to a nervous...
Good morning Lyn. I have a s-i-law with AD. It's been good to read many of the posts from there. I have only recently found Healing well but have found so many nice folks here and am sure I will...
Hi Harper. Nexium didn't do a thing good for me, just gave me diarrhea. Pariet was worse. I hope you find something that helps. I am going to try the spring water. This throat problem is the pitts....
Sounds good, Joe. I shall certainly try it. I'm sure it can't hurt. Anything that helps this burning throat will be a godsend. Take care. Carol...
My specialists appt got cancelled for 2 more weeks as he will be out of town. GGRRR!! This is the 2nd time this has happened with this dr. Not much I can do about it though and I am feeling much...
Hi Searchin. I'm not taking anything at the moment for the Osteoporosis for I took Didrocal for years and it didn't help. I was still going downhill and the calcium that went with it only constipated...
Well, so far today- at almost 11 am- I am doing pretty good. Had a light breakfast and went for my walk, then had a little cabbage and apple juice. So far only a little discomfort - not really...
Hi dee, Toni. Yes, I have also increased my water intake mostly because of the sore throat and it helps a little, I think. I don't know how much I'd have to drink to help my constipation but I...
Another killing heartburn day! Had a cookie after church last night. It wasn't GF so I know I shouldn't have but 'the devil made me do it' :-)) Anyway, is fresh pineapple a food I should avoid? I had...
I am trying to read as much of this site as I can and I must say, it's been really interesting. There are so many folk with problems I can identify with. The creamer I tried yesterday was -I think-...
Hi Listmates: I have been on this forum only a couple of days and already I have learned so much. The foods to avoid were eye opening to me as I didn't realize some of them would hurt. Knowing there...
I am waiting for the endoscopy now. I have already been diagnosed with the Hiatius Hernia but the drugs they gave me then only made the problem worse for before that, I only had occasional heartburn....
I have just found this site and have been reading the posts on GERD.It sure has been interesting reading as this is the first forum I've found on this. I also have GERD and have the burning throat...
