Hi Gail, I am still here just so tired of the throat symptom I still have. I made the appointment with my GP. I will ask her for PPIs, not sure when I will start another course of it! I just read a...
T: I only take 1 before bedtime. I was on and off on PPIs for months at the time, the last time I was on them for 5 months. You might need to do elimination diet first to see which food trigger your...
T: I have been on Zantac 150mg since July 2012 and still I couldn't do without it. I don't want the burning or the acid backing up my throat. I am better but still not 100%. You might need to take...
Gail: Yes, I also bought something called: Soothe Digest, it contains: Fennel, Anise, Caraway. I take it after dinner. I don't feel it help that much....
Hi T, Are you taking the 150mg Zantac? If you just quit the PPIs, you are probably going through the rebound right now. Have you tried cutting all the carbs out? If you look up Fast Tract Diet, some...
Hi Gail, I don't have cramping, burning, tightness in my stomach just the gas rising up after I eat. I just hope that once I more firmly in menopause the indigestion will ease. I already spent a...
Chris, from the beginning my GP told me all what I was going through: vertigo, dizziness, indigestion because I was so anxious. I did test for B6/B12 and iron level and they weren't bad. After I...
Good morning all, Chris: the last time I took PPIs was in Oct. 2011. I was on them for 5 months. I stopped the pills because I was loosing so much hair. Since then I was/am trying everything else and...
Hi everyone, The last couple of days my throat is acting up. It is a bit sore and the sour taste doesn't want to go away either. I am just so tired of trying everything!!! It is a daily struggle....
Hello all, Nat: Were you diagnosed with gastritis? Sorry I don't remember exactly, if yes then in my opinion you should try PPIs for couple of months and when things settle then try to wean yourself...

Good afternoon everyone, Gail: if the doctor prescribed Zantac you should try it to see if it helps with your stomach. When you took the OTC Zantac how long did you stay on that? I have been on 150mg...

Sunbeam: just want to tell you my throat is much better on this diet. Thanks so much for this thread. I didn't think the banana and oatmeal were giving me the reflux. Once I stopped eating those two...

Nat: we are in the same boat: menopause! If I remember correctly were you the one started with bad vertigo like me months ago. You are right about anxiety. I have a hard time with it myself. Right...

Roah: are you taking anything at all? Sorry I don't remember. Why do you have to wait until all tests are done? Poor you, your tongue must hurt a lot. Sew: I hope to get to your level of comfort...
Roah: don't worry about it. You will do just fine. Yes, I am still on Zantac 150mg before bedtime. This is such a slow process. I will start on the Fast Tract Diet soon. Chris: I know the feeling of...
Hi everyone, Roah: so did you get the job offer? If yes, I am happy for you. Buying all these supplements do add up. I got the Fast Tract Diet book and yet I haven't read it cause I am so busy with...
