Hello, It's been sometime since I've posted. I am feeling better! Had a second EGD in January. NO erosions or inflammation in my esophagus. Some mild gastritis seen by scope but no cell changes...
Thank you so much Stacey for sharing your experience. Funny about the Aloe. I had a similar experience with one also - tasted just like water, but when I found that it was "distilled" it didn't make...
Good Morning everyone, I must say that I am pleased to announce that my Super Sonic Major Acid Rebound from the Mega doses of Dexilant prescribed by first GI, has subsided. Thank you to whomever it...
Hi, Danny I'm glad you are getting some answers. Giardia can make someone very ill. My son had it when he was alittle boy and fell in a stream filled with deer poop! Yuck. Did your docs figure out...
Sunbeam, I know how frustrating it is, because I am so confused. Somethings work great for others, and not so for the rest. I don't know what I had before the EDG. If I had too much acid or too...
Dear Sweet Potatoe: You are very kind with the drinking suggestions. I have switched over to hot water with honey. I guess I'm really m issing my caffeine. I have been using the Aloe Juice for two...
MMM, Thanks for the suggestions. Funny, felt pretty good last few days (3 weeks off dexilant tmrw), and today I am miserable with burning throat and upper left ab discomfort. I just don't understand...
Thank you for your suggestions!...
Good morning! New to this forum, thank you to everyone for their insight and knowledge. I hope we'll have a better day today! I cannot take PPI's (acid rebound effect on me - BAD). I'm currently on...
I'm so sorry to hear of your ordeal. I understand completely. Although my initial symptoms differ, I had very similar side effects to the medication, Dexilant. It was horrible. I felt just like you...
your weepiness could be caused by the after effects of sedation. I know it is a quick acting sedation that people come out of very quickly too that they use; however, the drugs can make you feel a...
Hello Danny! As I mentioned in a previous post, new GI doc informed me that I am an individual that CANNOT take PPI's for acid reflux. The put me in to hyperacid rebound. Lucky me, right!? lol -...
Thank you, Pat. I so appreciate the response. I at least now know what to expect somewhat....
how long does it take for your body to get back to the way it was before after quitting PPI's cold turkey? I was on PPI's for almost 3 months. Made me more sick than I was before the scope which...
Thank you, Denise! I was right! Dexilant (and sadly all the other PPI"s) was doing more harm than good for me. I got into my new GI yesterday and he did say that there are a group of individuals who...
Stopped the Dexilant 60 mg 6 days ago after being on Prilosec 20 mg 2x day for Silent Reflux. I quit cold turkey because the meds were making me sicker than I was before I had the EGD 3 months ago. I...
Hello Danny, I'm sorry to hear that the carafate isn't doing much. Keep taking it as directed (per your GI docs instructions) and really be aware of what you eat and wait the correct time after...
Hi, Danny_blues Call your GI or GP and ask for Carafate. My GP told me it coats the inflammed area of the esophagus and will help reduce the pain. The pain we are feeling (upper left ab area) is the...
Good Morning: Still miserable with the upper abdominal pain after 3 weeks on Dexilant for Silet Gerd, esophageal erosion and "pre" barret's per GI. Has anyone had any similar side effects from any of...
Thanks Johnah. I have heard that people need to play around with the PPI's. I'm just so down and at wit's end. Initially, the Dexilant seemed to do the trick the first two weeks, but now I really...
Hello all. I am new to this site. I guess I'm one of the stats of people with silent GERD, gets scoped 8 weeks ago, to find erosion in lower esophagus. My GI calling it "Pre" Barrets. Some small cell...
You're not alone. I've had upper left abdominal pain for over a year on and off. Not sharp, shooting pain, more like a "stitch" that would come and go, but now is there most of the time. I am 52 yo...
Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and truly feel the pain we all share. I am newly diagnosed with silent gerd which has caused some erosion to the lower esophaguas (pre-Barrets). GI doc has put...
