Hey guys. Just wanted to check if anybody here knows why different PPIs eventually stop working. Generally I have success with PPIs, and I am essentially sympom free when they work. The problem is...
So I went to the doctor for my constipation and she prescribed me a laxative. I took the first one in the evening, and in the morning after I took another one. I took the last one 48 hours ago and...
Andy1986: Thanks for your answer. I also have IBS but I've only had pain in my lower stomach. I guess your right and that it could be IBS. It just feels like it's to far up, and now I'ts also behind...
The only thing that I can think of, is that I've been carrying some heay bags from the grocery store lately. Now I'm super worried something might have happened to the wrap....
Hi guys. Ever since the surgery I've been feeling better every day. The pain after the surgery went away very quickly, so I was super grateful for that. Now 8 months after the surgery I've suddenly...
Thanks for your reply Trotters. I actually tried to message you privately, but I didn't find a way to do it. I'm glad to hear that you have finally got a date. If you are planning to come with...
Hi Trotters. I just wanted to check on you, since you and I seem to be in a similar position. Like you I had the Nissen and my LPR symptoms has not been improved at all. Since the beginning I've been...
I got it. Don't work at all for me.....
Yeah no problem. I think that the Reza Band may have some benefits for people that suffer mainly from liquid reflux up the throat. Since I've even had the nissen, all I experience is gas lpr and it...
Yes, in desperation I paid about 700 dollars for it. Worst purchase ever, didn't help a bit....
Elke55: Thanks for your reply. I definitely wouldn't try this if I had any other options. This whole situation is extremely stressfull, so I believe that stress could at least be a part of the...
Hello friends! I'm gonna try keeping this as short as possible. My symptoms: Constant sore throat but only on the right side and voice fatigue. These symptoms started after i tried to quit PPIS, and...
Thanks for your replies guys! I strongly believe the gut flora is linked to LPR in some cases. I'm back on my probiotics, and I'm going to consult my doctor about this the next time I meet him....
I've read a lot of threads where people claim antibiotics caused their LPR, but I've also read some people claiming it cured them. The unverified theory is that something is wrong with with the...
Hi Steve. It's been some time since I last checked in, I've been trying to stay away from the forums for a while. I'm doing about the same as last time. I had some progress and then I went all crazy...
Steve, have you ordered the device? Please let me know how it works out for you. Yes staying away from the manometer sounds like a good idea. They were really serious about it, and said I had to go...
I'm 2.5 months post nissen, and I can drink carbonated drinks. Sure it's not like before, when i could down 10 cokes but I can still drink them. I understand some people can't. I would immagine it...
Good to hear from you to Steve! I'm sorry I didn't read through all the questions before answering. I have never experienced globus as a symptom, which I understand is very common with LPR. To...
Bladev1: Thanks for your reply. I hadn't thought about that. I've been to the doctor several times but i don't even check my throat. I'm going to change doctor asap...
Hi guys. I'd thought you'd might like an update from someone who has actually tried the device. I've had it now for about a month now, and since I was despereate I was willing to pay 750 dollars to...
Hi guys. So this seems to my worst symptom and one that I cannot get rid of. I almost always have a sore throat on my right side. Its mainly in the area around my right tonsil, which also hurts. Also...
Hi guys. My LPR is causing my voice to get fatigued if I talk to much. This is really frustrating and has caused my to isolate myself from situations where I know there will be much talking. You...
Hi Trotters and thanks for your answer. It looks like you and I might be in similar situations, and maybe we can learn from each others experiences. I know unlike you I'm still only 5 weeks post op,...
Hi Tony and thanks for your answer. At least I know she did not use a boogie, I asked her that before the surgery. Since she is the main gastro surgeon at the biggest hospital in my country, I don't...
Hi again. I could really use some advice. I had a Nissen Fundoplication 5 weeks ago for both hearthburn and LPR problems confirmed by extensive testing. I've been worrying since day 1 after surgery,...
You are describing classical LPR symptoms. Could be worth checking out....
I will do Steve!...
That's disappointing for me, since I believe gas reflux is my main problem. Have you been wearing it both on days and nights? I will get my Reza-Band sometime next week and I'm hopeful that together...
TonyG: Thanks for your encouraging words. I know I'm early in recovery, and I need to give it time to heal. Still I can't help what I'm feeling. I don't believe I have had any hearthburn at all. What...
Hi Trotters. I'm trying to stay positive, but it's really hard. Unfortunately the surgeon didn't call me today, so I hope she will tomorrow. I've also ordered a Peptest to see what's going on....
Hi. So basicallly I've had severe hearthburn problems for all my life, and LPR problems for the last year. I found a surgeon at the best hospital in my country who did most of the Nissens. She seemed...
I'm also very interested to hear about this....
Hi Kirsten, and thank you for your answer. How specifically did your surgery fail? I think I traced my wierd sensations in the upper parts of my stomach and esophagus to gas. I've been taking high...
kazbern: Hi and thanks for your answer. Not sure if they looked for inlammatory markers in the blood test, but they did extensively in the stool test. They checked for both red and white bloodcells,...
Hi guys. I'm a frequent lurker and poster over at the GERD forums. Since you guys obviously know more about IBS, I thought I'd ask you for some advice. If you would take the time to hear my story, I...
Hi all. Tomorrow I'm one week post op, and most of the time I can barely feel that I've had the surgery. So recovery wise everything is going really well. I hope my experience could help encourage...
Then I definitely recomend you to take the Peptest. You get to spit in a cup three times, once in the morning before eating anything, and then two times later in the day after eating. In my case I...
Yes I have. Very good service and extremely fast answer. I didn't bring the result up with my doctor, but it served as yet another proof to myself that reflux was the cause of my symptoms. However I...
Definitely sounds like LPR. When I was uncertain I ordered something online called a peptest. It confirmed that I had incredible high levels of stomach contents present in my saliva, which is a big...
I've done them both 3 times and personally I've had no problem with them what so ever. If you would get very uncomfortable I imagine you could just ask for something to calm your nerves. I got som...
Hi. I'm sorry that you are feeling unwell. The most important thing to do in my opinion, is to get all the proper tests done so you can get the right diagnosis. A test i I can recomend for testing...
Alice: Thanks so much for your answer. So the wrap can actually swell up a couple of days after the surgery huh? I didn't know that. Well we'll see how it goes. I've saved some strong pain...
Hi friends. After suffering from both GERD and LPR for the majority of my 22 year old life, I finally decided to go through with the Nissen surgery. I had it 4 days ago on wednesday the 7th, and I...
Hi Mernzy. I hope that you are doing well. I'm a 22 year old university student from northern Europe, and I had my surgery done wednesday 7, one day after you. The surgeon told me everything went...
Thanks for your answers guys. I'm having the fundoplication surgery on wednesday, so I'm really hoping my stomach issues will get better when the acid returns. I just think it's all a bit wierd,...
Here is a really interesting study on the subject: http://www.surgery.usc.edu/foregut/demeesterpub/316.pdf If you don't include the importance of having a great surgeon, there are basically three...
Hi. To make a long story short I've suffered from GERD my entire life. I've been on PPIS for about 5 years (40-80mg daily), and 1 year ago I started to develop IBS like symptoms. Sometimes I feel...
Yes I was extremely desperate for a quick solution so I tried coming off the PPIs and i regret it deeply. I burned my throat and I've been having voice problems and a constant sore throat ever since....
GC1pink: Thought you'd like to know that my pepsin test results are back. Morning result showed no pepsin. I guess that' s because I stop eating several hours before bed and shug copious amounts of...
Hi. My PPI's also stop working periodically. The only solution I've found is to switch back to the type that I've been off for the longest amount of time. For example the PPIs availible in my country...
