Hi pink, I'm sorry to read about your problems since the surgery. I do hope things improve for you soon. Phil...
Hi cat, How's it going? I guess that many here are pretty keen to hear an update from you! Endostim is planning to list on the Nasdaq. The funds will be used to set up a clinical trial in the US. At...
Hi GC. While you're here, why not visit some other European countries?...
Hi GroverCat, Welcome to Europe! I just logged in to wish you the best of luck with your op on Thursday. Cheers Phil...

Hi mum, good luck with the new thread. Here's a copy of the post I made dated 10/19/2013 titled, ==================================================================== Heritability and Susceptability -...
I'd look at trying a low acid diet. Google Koufman Low Acid Diet. There is a list of foods that are more alkaline than others that will help to buffer your stomach acid. Make sure you are taking your...
I believe a pre-biotic, Lactulose, has multiple benefits for those with GERD that are taking ppi's and are also having problems with constipation. Start with a small dose, as individual tolerance and...
Hi Denise, sorry you were unable to access the cache. I assumed it was okay to upload when I hadn't heard back to the contrary, so a new thread is up already. Titled 'ENDOSTIM a new way to restore...

For the moment, we have lost the popular thread, 'Endostim New device for GERD/LPR'. I will attempt to copy the last few pages of this thread below. We still have Gerdobservers thread, Endostim: Bite...

Hi arm, I haven't seen any posts to that effect on HW. The only board that I have read of other's experience with OC is the John Hopkins Barretts Oesophagus Discussion Board....
Hi all, as you may know, my particular interest is Endostim, rather than Linx. Unfortunately, the 'Endostim New device for GERD/LPR' thread has gone the same way as the Linx threads. For this reason...
Barry, that's brilliant news! Have you had a tipple to celebrate, or does that have to wait until you are fully recovered? Phil...
Hi Barry, that's great news about your review. Thanks for enquiring about Endostim. A shame we couldn't get any further info, but that is only to be expected at this juncture. Hope you have a safe...
Heather, it is a shock at first to have the possibility of Barretts mentioned. However it is better to know than not to know. If the biopsy is positive, your son will be regularly screened, and the...
Hi GC1, sorry to hear that you had difficulties with the people representing endostim. I guess that being in the early stages of what is a commercial entity, they are looking for straightforward...
Hi mum, Have you ever tried the throat lozenges containing Hexylresorcinol? These have an anaesthetic action that may help quell your symptoms. Cheers Phil...
Hi GC1, sorry to hear you are still having such problems. I can't remember, have I mentioned the diaphragmatic breathing technique to you before? This helps me a great deal, particularly when it...
Hi moodoch85, welcome to HWgerd. I can't comment on the specifics of weak swallow, but think that there are a number of posters that have symptoms in common, that will comment soon. I was wondering,...
opnwhl4, Hi, there are some new advances underway in OCT. [Optical coherence tomography] that will be of great benefit to those with Barretts. Using this microscopic technique, combined with...
hi Barry, get well soon, All the best for the New Year Phil...
Librooks and Alcie, the workings of PPI's is fascinating, to those who take them every day. Personally I think they get an undeserved bad press. Yes there are some known problems with their long term...
Kittley21, hi, yes I have used the lozenges with Hexylresorcinol for about a year now. I got the tip from this website....
Sometimes I get a problem when I think that my PPI has stopped working properly. I put this down to my digestion, sometimes the uptake is good, other times not so good. This has an effect on the...
Try the Strepsils extra strength or other product containing Hexylresorcinol. Let us know if they work to relieve this awful symptom....
hi Imvss, What's you current dose of Omeprazole? I started on 1x20mg once a day, but that wasn't enough to control symptoms. Now I'm on 1x20 twice a day [morning and evening] and symptoms are mostly...
Hi gunner, I found the bottled B12 - methylcobolamin in a health food store, here in the UK, under the name 'Boost'. It's a type that's sprayed under the tounge and is absorbed sublingually. Cost...
Thanks Gunner. I'm in the UK so will look for an easily assimilated form of magnesium in our supplement supplier. Will try Holland and Barrett, they have 150mg Magnesium Bisglycinate (chelate). It...
We in the UK have seen the demise of the FORT charity GERD discussion pages due to a lack of moderation. Some very useful and important [to me at least!] posts look like they have been deleted and...
Article suggests testing for those at risk and that supplementation is a good way to minimise deficiency. The large numbers of patients used in this study give the results added validation....
pink, Good luck with your meeting tomorrow. Be sure to take notes/record it and let us know how it goes. All the best p...
After all this time it's important to concentrate on getting your existing symptoms under control to avoid secondary problems with your oesophagus. Contact your primary healthcare to try prescription...
Hi Glennis, I have tonight looked for a google cache of the old FORT discussion about Endostim but it seems to have been erased. So only the copy on my hard drive is available. I could post it here,...
Gerdobserver, Hi, apologies, I only just saw your question, whilst linking this thread to another. I haven't looked into the actual location of the device. I have been waiting to see if I am a...
Hi pink, afaik, there are two UK trials in preparation, one involves the FORT charity and NUGITS. You may have noticed that the FORT discussion area was swamped by spam, and has now been taken down...
Hi kyo/Noelle, I found an unbelievably simple cure on Healingwell for my throat problems, Strepsils Extra Strength. They must be the ones that contain hexylresorcinol, hexylresorcinol is said to help...

Hi ahb, have you tried some lifestyle mods? 1, Sleep Elevated 2, Finish eating at least 3hrs before bed 3, Avoid heavy meals etc You can also try alter the timing of your PPI meds to before bed, to...
Barry, That's great news. I will drink to your continued improving health, next time I open a bottle. Phil...
Hi Gerdobserver, I am very interested in Endostim and have put myself forward for consideration for suitability for the UK clinical trial that is now proposed for early 2014. I am currently on 1x20mg...
Hi Baza, sorry, that was a bit selfish and insensitive of me to enquire at this time. It could have waited! Assuming you are now back in NI, you have also had the burden of a long journey. I have...
Baza, Good luck with the recovery. I don't suppose you heard anything about NUGITS involvement with Endostim? phil...
Noelle3, E-mail the Company direct, and ask them to forward your details, as a potential candidate, to any of the GI surgeons currently planning trials. Endostim search here,...
Hi pink, if you were to travel to India to have Endostim it would cost less. "Depending on where the patient goes, this procedure costs about three to four lakhs for the entire surgery. Right from...
