txman, Did you feel the IV going through your veins? Was it uncomfortable at all? Thanks,...
Lobstahguy, Did you have the procedure done? What was your results?...
Bump. How is everyone doing?...
nc12345, Thank you. Can your regular doc check you for it or do you have to go to an alternative doc? I know most GI docs in the US would poo poo that kind of test. They want to push the PPI route...
NC12345, I will look into the SIBO. Were you told you could possibly have it or are you just starting to look into it. Let me know what you have found to help. Thank you....
Hello all, Good news. Take a trip to this site. You will be surprised. More reflux help for us. https://www.facebook.com/refluxhelp I am so excited about this....
nc12345 and DC123, I am almost two years since linx surgery and am still experiencing LPR symptoms and reflux. I think after two years, if the linx was working correctly, I would not have reflux and...
DC123, Glad you were able to contact the doctor. My advice to you is to research several linx doctors before making a final decision. Vist a few in person and get a feel for knowledge, how many linx...
DC, 404-350-7955 Dr. C. Daniel Smith, Atlanta, GA. He was at Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida but has now opened up his own practice in Atlanta. He has a Facebook account. (C.Daniel Smith, M.D.)...
Gondore, I am still having problems. The linx works like a roll of the dice. Just don't know how it will work from day to day. The surgeon now suggests waiting until 3 years for maximum effect and go...
sinfrontera, How are you doing? What were the x-ray results? Any more news? I am following you very closely....
veritas44, Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Please keep us posted on your recovery. Welcome to the Linx club too....
JPT, Have not seen you on lately. WE miss your feedback and new sources of information. You are very vital to HealingWell and Linx club. You have helped so many people including myself. It would be a...
sinfrontera, I am currently 21 months. I wonder where the data is to back up his theory?? Wow, that is interesting what the doctors discovered about your linx. Please let us know what the x-rays...
GC, I am one of 10 around the world. I asked him where he got the 3 year info and he said that he just got back from a meeting with all the linx doctors and that it was discussed at this meeting and...
All, I went and saw the linx surgeon on Monday. He told me that the new updated linx recommendation is to give the implant 3 years before maximum effectiveness. I was also told that I am one of about...
sinfrontera, I have been following your story, as your story is similar to mine. I had the linx put in May 2012. 20 months ago now. Although I do not have the swallowing issues that you have, I can...
Pat Fill, You are absolutely correct. I feel exactly how you feel. I wish the docs could step into our shoes for a day and have to live with what we go through. I don't wish illness to anyone, but I...
drtinsac, Ask him if you could possible have bile in the stomach. The ph tests do not show bile because it is alkaline and does not show up on those tests. Also PPI's do not help with bile reflux....
drtinsac, I have read that gastritis is from bile reflux. Obviously the gastritis is from something. Stress is the catch-all for when the docs don't know what to do for us any longer. Was the...
GC1pink, Do you think your BMS could have been due to B12 def? That is one of the symptoms of B12 def. I also have low B12, Iron and thyroid at times. I take supplements for those. I will ask my doc...
Pat Fill, Thanks for the info. I will surely ask my dentist next time I go just to get their feedback and get another opinion....
drtinsac, It would be worth the effort to get the metal allergy testing done then. Maybe the doc that suggested it as a possible titanium allergy could order the test for you....
drtinsac, When did you get the implant? Did you develop symptoms after that or did you have them before? I am not totally sold on the idea that it is your implant that is causing you the problems,...
drtinsac, When is your followup doc apt? I am anxious to see what the abnormal test result means? Have you researched it on the net yet?...
drtinsac, Any news on the other tests yet?...
drtinsac, Just a thought. MILD CHRONIC ANTRAL GASTRITIS, NO ACTIVITY. I have read that gastritis can mean bile reflux issues, as bile can cause gastritis. Have you ask the gi about possible bile...
drtinsac, Thanks for the list of tests. I have had several of these already done. I will mention the others to the doc that I have not had done. I have never had the B6 done yet....
drtinsac, I am so glad you found someone to really listen to you. I am looking for that too. I too have a very high threshold to pain. Did he give you any info as how that relates to our condition?...
drtinsac, It is frustrating, I know. I am anxious to hear about the biopsy and if they find anything. I think the food allergy thing is the next step to take. You will probably have to stay on the...
drtinsac, Anything new going on? How are you doing?...
I had a biospy when I had the endo 2 years ago. Biospy was not taken on the endo right before the linx. You might want to make sure they are gonna do it....
drtinsac, Let me know what the endo shows. I am curious to see if anything shows up on it. Are they gonna do a biopsy also?...
drtinsac, How are you doing lately?...
drtinsac, Thank you for the info. Does yours get better on some days than others? Do you have anything that you know of that triggers it? I had the Bm thing 10 years before I had the reflux issues. I...
drtinsac, I have been doing better reflux wise the past two weeks but I had an episode of the BM thing the past few days. It is not a problem when I wake up but as the day goes by then it gets worse....
drtinsac, How have you been doing? Are you gonna start a new thread? I want you to keep us posted on your progress, as I am experiencing the BM thing too. I am on a quest to solve this and need your...
drtinsac, Thanks for the update....
drtinsac, I am with you. I am willing to do whatever it takes to solve my issue too. I too will exhaust all avenues in my quest. Glad you are gonna keep us updated....
drtinsac, You can start a new thread. If you chose not to, Good Luck to you. I will be thinking of you. I hope that we both have a resolution to our problems....
drtinsac, Thanks for the update. Was hoping they would have new insight for us. Try the elimination diet, then you will be able to add that to the things you have tried....
Crystal, I eat very healthy. Organic, no wheat, gluten, soy, corn or dairy. No coffee, etc. It makes things worse. I have been drinking aloe vera now for about 8 months. My doc said it can heal the...
Crystal, I have been diagnosed with vulvodynia about 10 years ago. It comes and goes. Some times worse than others. I know what you are going through. I too feel that I am more sensitive to certain...
Crystal, I feel for you. I really do. I understand your feelings and the discouragement. Hopefully you will just need more time to heal. The linx does not reach full effectiveness and settle in until...
drtinsac, You are right. Nothing is easy with our medical community. We have to be proactive and do everything our selves....
JPT, Thank you. I ordered some more black raspberry today. I have been drinking the Evamor water and still taking GA. Have been off PPI for a month now. Hope I can keep off the meds. Going to see...
JPT, The response from Mr. Dettmar is very interesting regarding the "negative" results. My test came back negative but I only did the test one time. Can the epithelial cells ever be repaired? I know...
drtinsac, Keep us posted. thanks....
