Has anyone had this problem years after a THR? I am 6 years out from a THR in my right leg and started experiencing pain in my groin and thigh. I have been diagnosed with psoas tendonitis and at...
I eat low fat as we need some fat in our diet as you stated. I have low fat dairy and use a bit of olive oil dressing on my salad. I eat lean meat and chicken without skin. I make my own baked oven...
Last week when I stood up from sitting, I had a sharp pain shoot through my groin. Ever since then I have been having ongoing pain in the thigh which gets worse as the day goes on. Totally scared...
Hi everyone, I have in the past suffered from extreme neck/shoulder pain, tight tmj muscle pain and am currently experiencing tight leg pain in my leg that had a hip replacement 6 years ago. All is...
kim11, in answer to your question "that it's odd doctors don't know why the Les gets weakened", I think the answer has been covered many times in this forum. Basically for most of us it's the food we...
Any updates Puppetman, would be helpful to hear how you are doing now?!...
Hi Lostindespair, there is an even better version of Gaviscon than the Canadian version but is only available from England and some other countries like New Zealand and Australia. You can purchase it...
Hi Puppetman, will be watching your posts closely as Endostim is something I am considering and there are not many people who have posted on how the procedure went for them. Do you have LPR or...
Hi Puppetman, please keep us updated on your Endostim journey as there is not much information out there about this procedure. It may pay to start a new thread as this is a very old thread. All the...
Hi Jennielouises, sorry you are having such a hard time coming of your PPIs. I wouldn't eat tomatoes or chocolate, they are foods you should avoid if you have GERD/LPR. Hang in there and eat healthy...
I would see a GI specialist and get an endoscopy done, don't freak out this time as they are no problem as you are given a drug that makes you not remember it happening. You need to get this checked...
Hi Melissuh, I would see your GP to get this checked out rather that using Dr Google. Hope it all goes well....
Hi jenagade, a GI in Auckland, Mr Booth, was involved in the NZ Endostim trials, his information should be on the Endostim website. I have spoken to that woman who was in the newspaper article.Her...
The lump in the throat feeling is hard to deal with and anxiety only makes it worse. Chewing non mint gum helps me when it feels really bad. Tu Wang, congratulations for coming off PPI's, I'm...
Hi meanjoegreen, I went to that page you posted, but the links in it are no longer available. CAn you tell me what it was that helped you?...
Hi John, the lump in the throat feeling is very common with GERD/LPR and stress definitely makes it worse. When I first experienced it I found it really hard and I know now my worrying about it made...
Hi Smog1985, Endostim is the new procedure for GERD that delivers electrical stimulation to the LES to strengthen it. It is only available in some countries. You might want to google it or put...
I wouldn't think so as most have caffeine in them. Caffeine has been proven to relax the LES and should be restricted if you have GERD....
I can't take any anti inflammatories due to my acid reflux, I have OA in my left hip and am managing it with paracetamol. The strange thing is before I had my right hip replaced my doctor prescribed...
Hi Cagu, My postings aren't lashing out but Some of the postings on this forum like the one you made above have no substance and are often just scaring readers. I'm sure GI doctors only remove...
Hi Cagu, your statement "they (doctors) do not believe we need acid to digest our food" is rubbish, why would they think this? Even with taking PPI's our stomach still produces acid to aid digestion....
Adrianna, I'm really sorry about what happened to your mother but I thought this forum is to give advice and support and you posting this would just frighten most people who would be about to have...
I also get the lump in the throat sensation especially after I eat. I find chewing gum makes me not notice it. When I first got it it made me very anxious which in turn made it worse. My anxiety is...
I had a glass of wine on Xmas day with no problems so had another one the next day. DIdn't want to push it with more than one though! Didn't have any in the New Year. It is something I definitely...
If you only took them for 4 days you wouldn't have rebound it could be your gastritis....
I use Healltheries Vitaplan Vanilla, bought it at the supermarket. I'm in New Zealand but I'm sure any grocery store or pharmacy would have something similar. It is hard to add weight when you can't...
Hi Alcie, I'm much the same and have lost too much weight from being over cautious about what I ate and making my meal size too small. I'm now eating 5-6 meals and including smoothies with a...
Pink, I looked for Gaviscon Advance but they only had Gaviscon Double Strength, is that the same? I'm in New Zealand so might not sell it here. We only have 3 PPI's available in the public health...
Hi Smooth, I see in your post you said not to chew gum. I have read quite a few times that chewing gum is recommended after eating and I have found it useful as the lump in the throat feeling is less...
Cagu, just read the other post where you described delayed gastric emptying. Because I told my doctor I wasn't eating any bread as I felt it was just sitting in my stomach, she prescribed a motility...
Hi Cagu, how would you know if you had delayed gastric emptying?...
Crashingbore, does cutting the enterically coated pill not make it unstable. Can you still use the remaining piece?...
Thanks CupcakeTruffle, thought it was that, do need to keep anxiety in tact though. MY husband was diagnosed with the globus symptom years ago after having an endoscopy (he doesn't have reflux) and...
My doctor thinks my anxiety is causing this lump in the throat sensation, but as so many people posting on this site seems to have it, I think it is related to my acid reflux and can be made worse by...
Hi James_a, I did have an endoscopy done as mentioned in my first post, everything was normal. Thanks Pat for your recommendations, I am doing all of these things. The GI said I could eat most things...
My GI put me on 40mg x2 daily of Pantroprazole after Omeprazole 20mg x 2 daily wasn't working . I have had reflux daily for about 6weeks now with all the usual symptoms. Had scope and colonoscopy,...
