Thanks for that, but sadly been there done that ie CBT and all conventional anxiety treatments. Im sure for depression and maybe some people with certain types of anxiety SSRI's have their place. I...
Ive tried so many SSRIs, they all make my anxiety worse and even after 12 months on them Im left edgey. I want a med that relaxes me not stirs me up like the ssris have been. I have some xanax but i...
Correct me if Im wrong, I base my knowledge off GAPs and FODMAP. Some fibre or sugars dont break down well, in fact promote bad bacteria, hence gas and IBS etc. Thats the theory (which I hope Im...
Is it possible to get esophagitis and still try to come off PPIs? I dont get reflux as such, I realised all my issues are right at the bottom, so maybe mini reflux, but I can never taste or tell Im...
Im just curious how much it turns off the acid pumps incrementally. Obviously there must still be stomach acid left? But i noticed on heavy doses my steak would get regurgitated 4 hours later, so...
Has anyone asked this question of their GI before? My GP didnt have a clue....
Im currently using Losec 10mg but was as high as 40mg. Is there are proportional decrease in stomach acid per increase in dose? If so is there a formula for working out the percentage decrease?...

Im wondering if I can substitute the oil component of an elemental formula with coconut milk instead of coconut oil?...
yep i agree re posture. also i found binge drinking fizzies like beer initiated it. sometimes now though, i think its pressure. its a combination of so many things for me, but bad posture and this...
ive got the gaviscon not alu advance stuff, its basically double dose from my understanding. i dont think its a case of getting it wrong, i think its a case of ignorance on behalf of some doctors and...
My plan was to wean off them, take DGL and hopefully carafate to help the inflamed LES area. Good plan?...
I was wondering if anyone has tried coming off their PPI or treated GERD without one. I have been trying but still getting pain down low in the esophagus. I tried BentaineHCL and DGL lozenges for a...

Saw the mods post so I thought Id say hi. Long time sufferer of GERD due to bad lifestyle in the day, is my guess. Im wanting to progress to getting off PPIs. Its hard work....

thanks. yes i definitely think its at the LES junction as i dont get reflux into my throat. it feels like sternum but kind of at my back if that makes sense. my GIs have never been able to help me, i...
Dont get me wrong, I like gaviscon and I figure its doing less harm than my PPI? But I am at the point of looking to let my acid levels be natural or supplement with HCL if low. Gaviscon is not an...
