In case anyone is still on this thread and wants to know: Like I said earlier, the Bravo test showed there was no acid reflux events, and the manometry came back normal. With those results, my...
I'm doing OK. Just confused on everything after I got my results back. I've been diagnosed by three different gastroenterologists with GERD and one of them diagnosed me with a hiatal hernia during...
Well, I think my Bravo fell out today. Not sure 100 percent though. Today is only day four. But I felt a little bit of pain the whole time, not unbearable, just pain in my throat when I swallowed and...
I'm so sorry you're having that much pain. What did your results say? Has it still not fallen off? I just got home from my procedure. It does hurt pretty bad to swallow. Mostly in my upper throat....
This doesn't sound like h pylori to me either. I had it several years ago and it was one of the most painful things I've ever experienced. Instead of just normal heartburn and reflux, I felt like I...
I'm sorry you're having so much pain. Unfortunately I have to get the Bravo though, or I won't be able to get surgery. I was told it causes pain in some people when I was talking to the nurses during...

kmonroe99, that's really interesting. I'll definitely let you know what my score is once I get it. I'm supposed to get the manometry in two weeks and the bravo in three. I've started weening off my...
CAGU, thank you for suggesting the gastric emptying test. My gastroenterolist never mentioned that, but I will bring it up with him at my next appointment. I have a feeling that won't be my issue,...
I'm glad to know the manometry test wasn't as bad as you thought it would be. I've been reading helpful hints and tricks to get through it, as well as watching videos of it to prepare myself. I'm...
I am a 26-year-old female who's had GERD almost my entire life. It's caused a lot of issues for me and recently the PPIs and H-2 blockers I'm on quit working. I haven't been able to lead a normal...
