OMG I thought that was going to happen to me because for a while I couldn't burp either....I am so sorry....I still take a gas x at night before bed....
mam1298....I am so sorry to hear this...I believe you helped me through my surgery a few years back. I used to get a lot of gas too and I started using a plant base enzymes and a high dose of...
Happy Birthday....hope you had a good time. I will call you after work...is that okay....it's a little hard to talk at my desk. Cindy...
Hi Chris, I called you yesterday....did you get my message? Cindy...
Hi Chris, I have asked Denise to give you my info so that you can contact me. I live in Toronto (Scarborough) and I had the Nissen done at East York General Hospital. Feel free to call me at any...
Hi bazza76, have you tried probiotics. I can swear by it. I take one every night before going to bed. Gas is mostly produced by undigested food. It seems as though you are able to burp. I also had...
you are so young to be worrying so much....don't do this to yourself. How come at your age you worry about your health...most 23 year olds are out having a good time and worrying about school.... I...
Interestingly enough my GP told me the same thing....He thinks it's all in my head. He even gave me anti-depressant which I have not taken. He asked if while I am working, do I feel the pain or the...
drtinsac, the back of my throat and my tongue burn at the same time. I thought for sure it was acid but it didn't burn at night, it was mostly during the day, so that didn't make sense to me....
drtinsac, it was one that was combined for allergy and sinus issues...extra strength...I might go back to that....I will go to the drugstore tomorrow and get back to you after lunch. I use oregano...
Hi drtinsac, I take a regular Claritin. I also use a sinus rinse every morning and I take oregno oil...five drops two times a day. It has helped a lot. I don't have the burning tongue anymore. I...
Viper777ism....I have the same problem....identical. My throat hurts when I talk. I saw an ENT who said that I have a globus sensation but that there is nothing there to worry about. I did a barium...
Hi Barry. I had a hard time with burping, stomach hurt everytime I ate, I used to build up a lot of gas, bloatedness...just a very uncomfortable feeling. I couldn't go without three or four hours of...
Barry, I am one of those people that had the surgery two years ago. I can now tell you that I am happy I did it. It took a long time with the healing process. I just had a barium swallow done and my...
Hi, you can find it at any health store....I bought (Wild Oregano) OreganumPlus 1:1 made by St. Francis Herb Farm. It has Vitamin D3 in the Oregano Oil. Please don't use it by itself...it burns. I...
Hi I also have been having a sore throat for over a month. Mine for the most part was sore with a burning sensation right at the back of the throat. The burning would last for a few hours. I went to...
Hi Les, thanks for the info....I have contacted my surgeon and he mentioned that since I am taking protein powder and eat that much veggies, I should refrain from it for a while and see what happens....
Oh Bill, I am so sorry, don't stress yourself out over responding to me. Hope all goes welll with your wife. I'll say a prayer for her. Bill here is my thought for when you have nothing better to do,...
Hi Bill, thanks. I too wish it was for a better reason. Bill, with respect to a tight wrap, if that was the case, would I not have more severe problems, like food or pills getting stuck. I have no...
Thank you Kitt, I am so sorry to hear about your surgery. Hope you are doing well. To be honest, I thought I would have had the surgery and gone back to normal. That will never happen and I have...
Hello, even though I had the Nissen two years ago, I still read this site everyday I was one of those people that jumped the gun with surgery. I had silent reflux and was afraid of cancer. For the...
me too...I only take three table spoonfuls at nights before going to bed. My motto is "when in doubt" leave it alone. I think I'll retire the aloe for now. Cindy. p.s. This was a great topic though....
Thanks Denise....I am going to stop taking it as I really don't need it. I have cut down quite a bit on it but will definitely hold off. Thanks for the info. Cindy...
Hi, this is very interesting because I have been taking Aloe Vera Gel for almost two years now. I am a little concerned. I don't think we can get rid of the "aloin" completely from any of the aloe...
Sandi, I am amazed that very few people after this surgery have this problem. I don't understand. I am very healthy. I eat very well. My disappointment is that I didn't have this issue prior to...
Thanks Alice for getting back to me. I will try the gas-x. I definitely don't want or need any stretching!!!! No one is going back into my stomach unless it's absolutely necessary. Cindy. Any other...
Hello everyone, I have had my surgery January 31, 2011. I can eat any and everything, however, I cannot go a whole day or even 4 or 5 hours without eating. I used to be able to do this. Sometimes...
PH Fan I used the gel. I do not mix it with anything. It doesn't bother me in anyway. I am actually having some right now. I scoop it with a teaspoon and just swallow. I also live in Canada. I buy it...
PH Fan, hi, I take the Aloe Gel from Lilly of the Dessert...it's 99% organic and 1% preservative. It comes in two types...the inner filet and whole leaf....I personally buy the inner filet. I don't...
Hi Guys, I also take this same aloe gel once a day before bedtime. I worked my way up to 1/4 cup. I used to take aloe gel throughout the day with enzymes and probiotics. I am now off the digestive...
Hi Denise, good to hear from you. Hope all is well. I am sure the vomiting was a direct result of the bile reflux, and yes, she did a barium swallow two days ago and is waiting for the result. She...
Hello, my cousin had the nissen wrap at the end of November 2011 and she was doing fine with absolutely no reflux for about 2 months, however, she vomitted quite a few times within those two months....
Lexipoo....have you seen this product before. Feramax Iron... Here is a link. It might be something that might work for you. It's worth reading before making a decision or talk to your doctor about...
Maximus I would be really cautious about exercising after three weeks other than walking but certainly no lifting. My cousin had her surgery two months ago and all her symptoms came back full force...
Thank you Denise. Cindy...
Hi Guys: I am hoping that someone might be able to give me some advice for my cousin. She had the surgery on November 24, 2011. She threw up quite a bit after the surgery on a number of days/weeks....
Stacy it took me a whole year to actually start to feel normal again. You never go back to the way you were before. There are little quirks you have to live with. I'll explain in my email You have to...
Stacy I was the same way which made me look into the surgery. I had silent reflux. Look up aloe Vera gel. Start with a few table spoonfuls and work your way up to a quarter cup before going to bed....
Hey Birdieslc what your body needs right now is the enzymes and probiotics. It would help to do some food combining. For example eat only protein and veggies together or carbs and veggies. Don't eat...
Hi Birdieslc, I used the strawberry fermented milk probiotic. As for the enzymes, I used New Roots Plant Enzymes...
Hi Birdieslc: Have you tried probiotics???? When I came out of surgery, I had horrible gas too. I used a yogurt probiotic called “bio-K”. They were great. I took these for one month straight. Here is...
Denise, I will Cindy...
Thanks Ashley. I have been eating the smaller portions for three days now. I feel great. I can manage this now. Cindy...
Hey guys I did say that I would let you know my results from the endoscopy and colonoscopy. Everything came back normal. My surgeon said that I don't have any acid reflux happening. My esophaugus is...
Thanks Bill and Denise. I appreciate all the help you have given me. Cindy...
Bill this forum is wonderful and even though I read a hundred times about chewing my food properly, it didn't sink in. I was perfectly fine yesterday. I ate smaller portions and chewed it thoroughly....
Hey Bill I think I discovered what my problem is. I have not been chewing my food properly. I have been eating the way I used, rushing to finish my food. I changed all that today and have been fine....
Max there is no question that it's a scary surgery. You have more fear than I did. I didn't know any of the consequences of the surgery. I trusted my surgeon completely. There are so many things that...
Maximus I took some zantacs before my surgery but nothing after. I don't get any heartburn just mostly gas and more a discomfort feeling now even after a year....very disappointing. It's almost as...
Ashley, to give you some encouragement, my cousin just did the surgery 2 months ago and she is completely happy with it. She was worse than you. A piece of toast would give her severe heartburn. She...
