Hi all, I had what you describe after stomach flu too several years ago and suffered for 3 yrs before trying betaine hcl with protein meals for a month. Worked like a charm. I was sleeping lying down...
Yes, mine happened after a similar incident. I found that 3 months on betaine hcl was all I needed to balance stomach acid again and mine went away....
And, I'm wondering if anyone has been tested for MTHFR and anyone with positive MTHFR results (gut issues often come from this gene mutation), had their reflux helped by the MTHFR treatment of methyl...
I'm confused by the Kaufman diet. It is supposedly low acid, but there are several acidic foods on there. I understand the "ash" and "it may be acidic but turns alkaline once ingested" business, but...
I don't have Lymes but can't find an MTHFR page on this site. Can you guys tell me if I'm compound heterozygous (both mutations), can this cause my LPR reflux, throat spasms and digestive issues that...
Hi, I posted on an old thread of yours regarding mthfr. Can you let me know if folate helped your anxiety/moods? I have the compound hegerozygous like you and am just starting on a new supplement...
This is an old thread but I am wondering how you are doing now? I'm going through similar and was diagnosed with the same thing. I'm reading that tapering up slowly with methyl folate is best to...
Thank you so much!! I'm going to try this. I had spasms very badly this afternoon into the evening. It makes it hard to breathe and swallow. Not fun and feels like someone's hands are strangling me...
Wow. Can you tell us more? Did you sit in silence or have music playing? I ordered two meditation cds but when they tell you to focus on your breath I get more panicky. Ironically, my doctor told me...
Oh and eviep11, I have the LPR silent reflux symptoms too. Choking, excessive mucous and post nasal drip, indigestion, swollen throat (as diagnosed by Ent) and more. A diet change helped me. With...
I used my doctor. He is a preventative medicine doctor so I guess he just checks for these things. If you look at 23andme.com, they are no longer doing health testing, only heritage background...
YES! I just found out last May I have this. My doc didn't make it into a big deal so I didn't think much of it. I was tested again (he does routine blood work for preventative means) at the beginning...
I have one more suggestion. I want to recommend that you see a doctor for a blood test to determine if you have a mutation in MTHFR. I just found out that it causes all these problems and more. 1 in...
I just ordered a peptest from England. It measures your pepsin. Hopefully it will help. I went from 2 Nexium to 1 yesterday and today and I feel like someone is choking me. I do not want to take meds....
Thank you!...
I've done it before on one pill, taking it for a day then skipping a day and so on but for the last week and a half I've been on two pills a day and they are capsules so I can't break them. I didn't...
Do you have food sensitivities by any chance? I was researching the histamine intolerance lately. Interesting find....
Ok, thanks. I'm on a very simple diet right now. We took the alkaline food list and the histamine intolerance food list and I'm eating the foods that are on both lists for two weeks. Day two and I'm...
But what about when you have it all the time, whether you are eating or not? I can't tell what triggers it because I always have it and the choking/spasms in my throat too. I'm looking for food that...
I have the same throat/breathing problems. I ate greens yesterday and woke feeling like an elephant sitting on my stomach. The gastro won't do an endoscopy until the throat spasms go away. Did you...
This is a two part question. I have researched all kinds of diets; histamine intolerance, GERD, alkaline, etc. and they all conflict. What diet do you use with severe GERD? (still having symptoms...
No chest pain. Without the Nexium I get many more symptoms but with it I get less. Let's see. Mine are or have been: 1. burning in lower stomach 2. burning in esophagus and throat 3. swollen throat...
Are you gluten intolerant or have food allergies? I know they can cause issues....
I'm going through the same except my Upper GI xray was normal. I'm on the verge of crying tonight. I have been doing the histamine diet for 5 days but finding that some foods are acidic and making my...
I've had anxiety for 7 years after a very stressful year. At the end of the year, boom, it all hit. My first issue with GERD was this past summer after what the doctor thinks was food poisoning....
Thanks! I really don't think I'm allergic to foods as I've never experienced itching or hives after eating food. I am lactose intolerant and don't digest corn or gluten very well (bloating), but as...
Thank you for posting. I'm new here and haven't explored the entire site. :)...
Hi, I've been suffering with GERD since the summer when I had some kind of food poisoning symptoms. Afterwards, the vomiting didn't stop until a month and a half later when the doctor put me on...
Yes. I am having the problem now. I wasn't anxious or panicky but I think I may have put too much olive oil on my food and the spasms started. If I breathe through my mouth, I can breathe better,...
I saw an allergist who told me the LES muscle wasn't working correctly. He took me off the Flonase that the ENT put me on and put me on Dymista, corticosteroid AND antihistamine spray. I slept last...
Sorry about typos. My phone covers my message as I type and I can't proofread easily....
I csved and took a Nexium. Almost went to the ER because the pain was just too Mich to bear . We think the gas was distending my stomach and pressing on nerves and other organs causing the most pain...
I could also say that over the last few years I would wake up occasionally gasping for air but that improved when I closed my window at night and stopped sleeping on my back. I've always had post...
Hi. I'm new here. I'm hoping for some relief from GERD/throat spasms. I had food poisoning over the summer (we think) for one night. But continued to vomit a few times a week. It gradually spaced out...
