Sew, viv, One thing good about my insurance is notwithstanding high deductable $1150($1250 from next semester) and no naturopath available(acupucture is doable, though) I don't need referral. I can...
Chris, I read somewhere bright red blood is from the lining and clotted dark one can be a bad sign... They WILL give you anti biotic for the lung infection and you might need it actually(you know how...
After dinner, sat up 3 hours at the desk to make air and 3 hotels reservation. My back hurt so much but better now. How do you 'work', chris? :( poor thing. Extra rara for the bread winner! I checked...
Gail, (after i clicked my post i saw your new post) You must have gone through a lot with you husband! tsktsk it's heartbreaking... I will be waiting for the good news with you. Meanwhile you could...
One thing, I did h pirori tests twice(cost me $250 or so. first deductable out of pocket and then insurance kicked in) but both were not involved stool tests! First was blood test(negative), next was...
Sorry, gail, But you always talk about taking tylenol followed by your episode of bm problem so i was mistaken... I understand you have dreaded this due to your experience with your husband just like...
Hey, all I just realized how 'we are' all different while we have similar problems. We all have hearbun, indigestion, acid stomach, anxiety basically but at the same time each has his/her own...
Sew, Zantac doesn't make me loose appetite. It helps me to eat better so i don't know. 3rd day on 75. So far so good. Felt a little acidic after lunch but dried apricot, slippery elm, aloe juice...
Sew, No, i am still on zantac 75(second day) at night. Last time i stopped after two days of 75(lowering bit by bit)but well, this time i just want to make sure. So just like you said, i am planning...
Someone stole from my daughter's bank acct by transferring $20 from her saving acct to checking acct to order $40 something from Amazon! I asked the coop union and they said it's pretty common(?),...
Sewfun, You got all right but you missed one. Yourself ;) no pressure, though.(you like quilting?) Anyway, what a thorough answers! You must be meticulous person. I found many more people more...
Gail, oh, so you have gastritis and your 'side effect' of treating it is constipation! Finally I get it. I was just wondering that, since you always have stomach pain from constipation(? or i don't...
Gail, Again, really, you should search for some thread of someone who has same problem with you. Your symptom really doesn't sound anything to do with gerd, gail. I am afraid you are not getting any...
Viv, I 'think' I figured out the pain on the breastbone. It seems to come with the occasional pressure(?)pain in the stomach. AND it usually comes around pms time. I have 5month's records to show :)...
Lu, Pepcid, proilosec is same thing. All ppi. Ppi has well known terrible side effects and rebound problem if you take it more than few weeks. Zantac is much weaker so if it works for you, you had...
You don't want to have gerd for sure.:) http://www.healthguideinfo.com/gerd/p40128/ You must have read this by now but just in case. Gerd is acid reflux desease(Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) and...
Chris, Oh, how awful! I can't even imagine! I am so sorry. You are being so brave. If i had other problem on top of this, i would have much more miserable. Gail, roah, Thanks for the input. I think i...
don't & mud, Please, there must have been misunderstanding! guys! I have had gerd myself for half an year(compared to you i am nothing it seems) and I am almost suicidal that it doesn't seem to...
Hi, y'all I feel a bit better today. But i have a question for all of you guys. Do you have this pain on the breast 'bone' where the rib cage meets? Not in the middle but a bit along the ribcage. It...
Well, i have never heard anyone who had this test that resolved anything. Either 1. you have no problem with acid. In fact, not enough acid. what? But it hurts!!! 2. You have acid stomach. Oh that's...
Thank you roberto, It seems to be uk link. They are doing things a little differntly from here. Eg. They are allowed(?) to give you ppi only a few days at a time only when the symptom is especially...
Hey gail! When i typed mine and closed the window you weren't there! Weird......
Chris, "In fact, there's growing evidence that long-term use of PPI drugs increases the risk of intestinal infections and pneumonia" Are you sure it's not side effect of ppi? Viv, I sleep ok. It's...
viv, my MB I have some anxiety issue today. it's my 3rd day of 'zantac 150 at night only' day and i don't exactly have heartburn and stuff though i still don't feel perfect. it's just this darn...
Sorry, viv :) I am planning to get some other dried fruits this weekend. Dried Dates and plums are also good for stomach and nutrition wise....
That's interesting. My doctor had no problem with me taking ppi in the morning of the endoscopy.(timing sake) I just couldn't because it was early in the morning and they said not to drink even a sip...
Here ye all who suffer from GERD!...
Gail, Btw, what was your symptom again, though? I feel your symptom is not like ours here. You don't have gerd, do you? I think you have gastritis. Did doctor say you have gerd? Because gerd pain...
Gail, Wow, what a loss! (Get it? Haha= feeble laugh) How tall are you, again? I am only 5'2 and had weighed about 98-99 when i was having a hard time when my husband was still a graduate student and...
Roah, You must have missed these links i posted before. Please print them out and bring them to your doctor. Underline the part how the doctors ignore the patients' claim to have acid rebound. This...
My mom is done and over with her period at her 49. It could be natural thing. And it means the end is near! woohoo! Don't worry too much about it. Have fun with neuropath! ;)...
Viv, My throat is fine. Occasional dry cough but a sip of water usually takes care of it. Too bad you have that but take maximum does of h blockers instead. Come on! you know how ppi messes up the...
Another link for chris, http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/guide/vitamin-b12-deficiency-symptoms-causes For vit B 12 deficiency. I think you know this but the reason i usually attch a link is that i...
Gail, I will be waiting for the good news for you. Just don't forget to tell us here :) Chris, This is very complicating to explain... that... Food that makes your 'body' alkaline is not exactly...
Hey, roberto First of all, You might expect to have heart palpitation. Take magnesium and vit b12(not the huge multi vit for it is not good for your digestion) while you are taking ppi. it may help....
Don't want to be a party pooper but i recommand you to get off ppi as soon as possible. Go with h-blockers like ratinidine. Also don't be so surprised if you develop weird side effects. It will...
Roah, I am sorry for the bad news but it's not exactly 'news' which makes the whole thing more frustrating because you knew you had them. You could have been a docotor without a medical degree! Lol...
How do you do, sewfun First, yes you may take both of them. But no, not together. They are both blocking acid and one thing will prevent the other work properly. So take eg. ppi in the morning and...
Yay! i found co-ppi hater! Let us hate together and double the pleasure.:) I have a bunch of loving friends here who share our sufferings and mostly agree with me but may or may not agree that ppi is...
This is another article from the non profit site called people's pharmacy. http://www.peoplespharmacy.com/2011/09/05/do-heartburn-drugs-deserve-strong-warning/ Thank you chris, I can understand what...
Gail, roah The important thing is level headedness. Facts. I am frustrated more that i don't understand this whole thing. I have been always a curious George :) yes, i want my life back but mostly i...
Gail, I just thought of aomething for you. The reason i went to er was not for gerd symptom but squeezing pain in the stomach. I was scared i might have something else other than gerd. And they...
Chris, I knew it! Welcome back! Your family must be so happy and relived. What does neuropath docs do? Guys, I was thinkning i began to manage the symptom(mostly heartburn) when after small dinner...
Gail, roah, Cooked cabbage doesn't give you gas. Raw one does. Try this: cook the whole leaves. Wrap some seasoned ground beef in it(roll it in)and stew it in the stock. Yum! Viv Thank you. I do...
I am sorry to hear all your suffering. Camera means endoscopy? How about blood works? Sleeping upright might give you upper back pain especially since you are on ppi and it robs your calcium and...
Yo, gail, It's a small cup, like 1/3 cup cup. :) i had two more cups today and no heartburn from it yet. Hope it will be the same at night. Roah, Thank you for understanding. :) my jaw hurts for...
guys, I have been taking zantac 75/150 for 3 days now. I have drunk aloe three times between meals without any real relief or bad side effect but i don't know, when i took one small cup last night i...
