Hi Andy, just thought I would slip in here to let you know that I took Baclofen when I was first diagnosed with severe gerd a few years ago. Since I didn't want to take a PPI at the time, I was told...
Thank you for the link ninjakiller1, It sure sounds encouraging for those with MS and type 1 diabetes doesn't it? As for my health issues, I am working with my primary doctor to manage my autoimmue...
I believe that using ACV would react the same way other acidic fruits do. It would, for the majority of us with LPR/GERD, effect the tissues on its way to the stomach and cause irritation. I have...
OK electracat, maybe I'll try to take a crack at this... I think the theory for supplementing with ACV as well as HCL is that there is a certain amount of acid required to maintain pressure to keep...
Thank you for your concern ninjakiller1, but I have been dealing with chronic health issues for over 20 years. My primary doctor thinks that my LES is just very weak from all of my chronic issues,...
Good morning ninjakiller1, Thank you for the juice recipes. I have heard they are excellent for the stomach. Unfortunately I don't tolerate vegetables in any form - juice, raw, or cooked. I hope that...
Thank you ninjakiller1 for your reply, I am at a good weight for my size and frame. I also try to exercise frequently during the week, but I am limited by my various health issues. I am actually...
Baclofen is supposed to reduce the the occurrence of LES relaxation. My doctor said that he put many people on 40mg to help with their weak LES. I am very sensitive and I was put on 20mg. Like I said...
I have had GERD/LPR for 3 years now. Early this year I increased my Prilosec from 20mg to 40mg when symptoms became unmanageable. I rely on protein and and tolerated fat for calories, and I use a...
Hi hoezap, I took Baclofen for just over a year. Since my LPR/GERD symptoms became progressive and I had to increase my PPI therapy, I discontinued taking the Baclofen. Obviously the Baclofen wasn't...
Thanks Erica for posting this here for members who may not know that Mary has a journal on Caring Bridge. I became a member of HealingWell shortly before Mary left as Moderator. I was drawn to her...
Hello Kitt! Thank you so much for stopping by and checking in on the forum; I miss your informative and reassuring presence. Along with severe LPR/GERD, I also have Hashimoto's, as well as IBD. In...
Though I rarely post, I have been reading the posts on this forum for about a year. My GERD developed 2 years ago after I tried to go on Naturethroid for Hashimoto's disease. After a few months of...
Hello again Ann, No, I can not eat what I want, not even within reason. I can not eat a vegetable without acid reflux, as well as various other foods that I have discovered through trial and error....
Hi Ann1961, Yes, I have taken Baclofen for two years now. My GI doctor initially put me on Zantac 150 X 3 per day because I refused to use the PPI that he would normally recommend. The Zantac brought...
Hi Minnietoty, I have had Gerd for 2 years now. My Integrative GI doctor initially wanted me on PPI's but I refused, so we started off with Zantac which proved only moderately effective at 150mg X 3...
Thank you Phil-uk, You know, I think you're right. I've tried for two years to manipulated my diet and take the least amount of antacid. It's not working. I've pulled everything out that causes me...
gunner4565, Thanks for the suggestion! These foot cramps are concerning me, they make it uncomfortable to walk or stand on my feet for any length of time. I know they're from lack of Magnesium and...
David, Thanks for the link. Your journal is very encouraging! I wish you continued success in your healing and recovery. Surgery is a Looong way for me. I feel like I have years to deal with this,...
Diaas2 - Thank you for the idea to try the Prevacid instead of the Prilosec. Maybe a different formulation will work better? I don't know, but it's worth a try. I'm trying to manage while I wait for...
Hello Everyone, My name is Nina, and I have had GERD/LPR for just over two years. It began just after I started treatment with a Naturopath for severe Hashimotos's Hypothryroidism. He had many...
