Wow, sounds like you may have to find another doctor, this one surely isn't any good. Try those things I suggested and hopefully you don't have to take double dose of nexium. Taking too much of those...
Yes, if you feel the food getting stuck, that usually means some of it will stay there and make you feel that sensation. I still get it sometimes and I am 13 years post surgery. Just go back to soft...
Good luck to you. Make sure to ask a lot of questions because there are a lot of unknowns with LINX. It is fairly new and no one knows what the long term effects can be. Seems like your gastro doctor...
I think it is normal because I had this as well after my surgery but call your surgeon to make sure. You are very early in your recovery so it will take some time to heal....
RunningOnFumes, Look up Gastrex and Zypan - two very very good natural stomach supplements, especially Gastrex. You can give it a try and see if it helps you. Good probiotics (Sedona Labs iFlora is...
Hello, did you have any tests done to check your wrap? Simple barrium swallow will show if there is a problem so I suggest you call your surgeon and ask for one. How is your swallowing, do you feel...
Steve, Yes, diet plays a huge role and it's easy to change it. It may not resolve your issues, but it's worth a try. Once your stomach heals, you should be able to get back slowly to eating some of...
I know what you mean about worrying - it is very stressful because you experience symptoms that were suppose to be taken care of with the surgery. I called my surgeon many times after my surgery and...
Yeah, most doctors don't care much and try to push people around. It's really hard to find someone who actually care for your health and not just their pocket but don't stop pushing for it. They need...
Yeah, I know exactly what you are saying. It sure sucks when you can't eat something because you know you will be in pain. Hang in there and work with your doctor to see if you are good candidate for...
Andy, Yes, the gnawing in the stomach was constant for me along with chest pains, neck pain and always sore throat plus that famous feeling of something stuck in my throat and choking. What PPI's are...
It seems like you are badly constipated - you need to eat some fiber to help you have bowel movements. Eat foods that are high in fiber, such as fruits and vegetables. Brown rice, oatmeal, good...
Sharon is correct, what you are experiencing is actually very normal. When I had my surgery, I thought I had symptoms coming back for about 6 months. My surgeon told me that after the surgery,...
Andy, I had some of the same symptoms as you and had NF 13 years ago and it resolved the issues. Only difference is that my LES was non-functioning and manometry showed strong esophagus. I am afraid...
Good luck to you - and don't stop going after those doctors until your health is restored....
Hmm, I know an excellent surgeon and people travel to see him from all over the country. He is in NYC and his name is Dr. Barry Salky. I did a lot of research on surgeons and he was simply the best...
Steve, PPIs are bad all around and cause many side effects. I have taken them for a long time before I had Nissen and the only one that did not cause any side effects was Aciphex. From looking at...
Hopeless, where are you located?...
Jena, what medication are you taking? What tests did you have done? Barretts is usually caused by acid reflux so besides the gallbladder test, you should request to have 24 ph test and barium swallow...
Hello everyone and thank you for any help and advice you can provide me. I am not new to this forum but have not been here for a while. I hope everyone is doing OK! I am 35 years old and have been...
Dee, Sorry for late response - crush one or two cloves of garlic and pour hot boiling water over it. Let stand for 20-30 minutes and then add it to your Neti pot - just don't add too much or it will...
Thanks Red - I will do that. I have taken 2 antibiotics already with no help at all so you are probably right. I will schedule an appointment....
They did not do any cultures - just swapped my throat and found strep throat but never did any tests on my nose. If it's fungal, is there any home remedy I can do before I get to the doctor? Thank...
Hello, I am having lots of sinus trouble - allergies and sinus completely clogged for about 3 weeks now. I took 2 courses of Antibiotics (Zithromax) and Medrol pack and it has not helped at all so I...
