Manuka worked wonders for me. I had pretty bad bloating and gerd last winter. Every single time I ate, it was really uncomfortable. I bought a jar and kept up with a teaspoon a day for a couple...
I get pvcs all the all time and it definitely gets aggravated with over eating and reflux. It all started 30 some odd years ago when I started eating like crap and barhopping in college. I'm older...
Diet, diet, diet. I no longer have symptoms....
Well, that sounds like reflux. You might want to talk to your doctor about that. When I used to wake up with that, I drank some water and popped a few antacid tablets. Usually cleared up in 10...
That's GERD. What's your age/weight, if you don't mind me asking. I'm 50 and was/is overweight, and the more weight I lose, the better this is getting. I've lost 20lb so far and haven't felt this...
I'm on the Fast Tract diet. For me, very noticeable reduction in symptoms....
There's a stomach virus ripping through town, and my two kids had it in the last 7 days. I think I had a twinge of it last night. It started with a big squirt of acid into my esophagus, then instant...
They give you endoscopy's over there while you're awake? In the States you get it under anesthesia....
Also your eyes hurting and your head feeling heavy are symptoms of sleep deprivation....
Just my two cents, but this sounds a lot like reflux and GERD. I have nearly the exact same symptoms, and I mean spot on. I can turn it off within 10 minutes with an antacid chewable. (Although...
Sounds like whatever flu bug you had left you with a sinus condition. Post nasal drip can lead to a cough and leave you with stuff in your lungs (the clicking). Lump feeling could be the goop...
Runners (I used to be one) also have an issue sometimes with gulping and swallowing air. If you don't feel it moving around, but feel it when you're sitting or lying around, it could be just gas. I...
Well good thing is that if the docs say it's not your heart, you should feel reassured hopefully. My first impression (and I am not a doctor) is that you have painful nerve damage from the accident...
You'd have to cut the nerve in order to do lasting damage. Also, D-Limonene acts as a protective coating, not an acid neutralizer. But I hear it works. I have some but I haven't taken it yet. I've...
Did you get checked for candida?...
I'd be extremely reassured that the docs so far haven't found anything bad. This sounds an awful lot like an irritated vagus nerve from GERD. Just my two cents. Do you get any relief with an antacid...
I don't know what it does, but when I take manuka honey regularly and stick to my nutrition plan, I have no GERD. I missed the last 2 days of honey because I misplaced the jar, plus I had a big...
For what it's worth, whenever I have a bad run of GERD, I'll get PVCs that result in bigeminy (skipped beat every beat) until I pop an antacid or have some cold water. Mine go away with burping,...
You should google SIBO and read up on that. That could be a potential root cause, especially if you have bloating. Ask your doctor to schedule a test....
Two words: Manuka honey. Google "manuka honey sibo" and read up. It's been helping me tremendously to knock the symptoms down. I don't think it can go away without antibiotics. And stick with the...
Manuka honey and an anti-SIBO diet have resulted in a dramatic reduction in what I was going through. So I have a suspicion I have/had a SIBO issue. Whatever it is/was, the manuka honey and the diet...
You should look up SIBO. Gas comes from the plume in your upper small intestines. That puts pressure on your diaphragm, which can cause GERD and vagus nerve irritation. Once you eat certain foods...
In my case, I couldn't really call the breathing thing "difficult". It was more like my chest and diaphragm were acting as if I was trying draw in air through a straw, even though I was getting...
I'd lay money on SIBO. I talked about it with my doc, but didn't take the test. However I've followed an anti-SIBO diet for the last few days (Fast Tract diet), plus started with the manuka honey and...
Two days so far with the manuka honey, not even a hint of gerd or bloating....
I've had the manuka honey twice today. Tastes good. I have no irritation today to speak of, so I can't say it's doing anything yet....
I take a probiotic, although I can count on one hand the number of times I've been on an antibiotic the last 20 years. Once for a bad cut, once prior to a root canal, and once for pneumonia. Those...
I've been keeping a really detailed food diary for the last 8 weeks in excel. Like, extreme. Calories, fats, protein, carbs, sodium, potassium, fiber, for each meal component. And then I chart it all...
astroman, I bought some Jarrow D-Limonene, but I'm actually a little wary of taking them. Will it hurt, cause a reaction, etc?...
Wondering if they do anything for you....
I've had pvcs for the last 30 years. Only time they bother me is when my diet/vitamin/mineral routine gets out of whack. But if I'm on track, I never notice them. But they are always there....
It struck a chord with me, and the symptoms are a spot on match, right down to my trigger foods. I'm going to give it a try....
I had another meal, spinach salad with chicken. I feel back to normal, though with some bloating but not much. I'm chalking this flare up to road food. Also, I haven't needed a tums in over 12 hours....
I'm forcing down some chicken, actually feeling better with each bite....
Lillye, I'm commenting again because of what you wrote: "I am in some kind of flare again. I have soft stools to diarrhea, some reflux, queasiness each morning and diminished appetite for a few days....
Just ate some trail mix, that went down fine. Drank some ice water, too, but that triggered a weird sensation, like it was struggling to make it into my stomach. Then within 2 minutes I let out a big...
I've been travelling for work. Eating crap. Prior couple of days were good. Last night at dinner, ate half of it (chicken wrap with onions), and got instant palps and bloating. It finally calmed down...
Funny you mention Jarrows. I ordered a bottle a few days ago, waiting for it....
It sounds an awful lot like GERD. I have it. I can get it all to go away with a couple of Tums and some anti-gas chewables. You might want to try that while you're waiting to see your doctor. I've...
Sounds to me like gastritis....
I get a non-heart flutter that goes away while eating, but it's lower, like right along the bottom of the rib cage. Short bursts, don't line up at all with heart beat. They also go away with tums....
I don't want to go on it long term, but I'm considering trying it. My symptoms aren't extreme. I just want something to try other than popping antacids. Reason I'm considering it is I've been...
GERD can do funny things to the vagus nerve. And when you say shortness of breath, do mean you're winded, or it feels like you're trying to breathe in through a straw. The latter is what I used to...
I had a doctor tell me 10 years he thought I had an enlarged heart. Went for the echo and it turned out to be nothing but gas. Get the echo results, and then assess this....
I've had PVCs off and on for 35 years. My cardiologist says I'm fine. Mine are diet and GERD related. That dang vagus nerve!...
Sounds a lot like GERD. The vagus nerve bundle handles all those areas in your chest, and if reflux irritates it, you can definitely get those breathing symptoms, those little twinges of pain on the...
I've had palps (PVCs) for decades, with ECG's going back the to 80's. I remember my high school girlfriend noticing them. For me they are entirely related to food triggers, gas, bloating, and GERD. I...
I had it about 2 years ago. I got rid of mine. Took some time, maybe 4-5 months. I ate nothing but clean food, no fast food, lots of vegetables, 5-6 small meals a day instead of 2-3 large ones, took...
You might have an allergy. Think of things that happen between October and April, but never happen the rest of the year: 1. Whole-house humidifier starts working (possible mold spores in humidifier...
The way you just describe having to work to get a breath, and on the verge of needing a manual breath, that is exactly the sensation I mean when I have it bad. I think you have GERD, and apparently...
