That's good to hear LPR! interesting results. Hopefully the medication will make you better. I would still strive for more answers and try to avoid constant medication as it can be damaging over time....
Good job with the tests, LPR. I heard the ph test is really uncomfortable so I'm not surprised you wouldn't want that FearBug. I really wouldn't either but if it doesn't stop I guess I'll have to. It...
I've gotten that book that everyone talks about (dropping acid by Jamie Koufman) so going to try recipes from it. Its got two parts, I'm just using it for the cookbook part. Yeah I always feel good...
I didn't really get my appetite back as I knew it before but I am able to eat and don't feel as nauseous now. But every meal still brings on a sore throat and I'm constantly hoarse sometimes it's not...
Good, do keep us updated. Try not to be stressed about cancers as the symptoms you've said fall directly in line with reflux. I know it can be worrying though...
Maybe the fact you had no bad effects means you're improving! Yeah I tried the food diary but the same foods sometimes just give me issues then other times they don't. It's odd. I'm not even sure...
Hey Bob, Sorry to hear about it. It's horrible. I have similar throat symptoms to you. My throat as of the last 3 to 4 months has been really bad. All the symptoms you mention I have. My voice is so...
Same as mine.. my doctor said nothing was said about my LES. if I could go back now I. Would've asked the doctor doimg the endoscopy to check my LES as best he could. I figure if it's not in their...
Wow really.. drinking olive oil. That sounds crazy I don't think I'd want to try it either. I've read so much on what to have and not have. Reflux definitely is a topic, along with a lot of other...
Hey. That's very unfortunate, was your nissen intact and perfect surgery wise? Please do keep us updated. Hopefully the takedown will alleviate some symptoms....
QQ - there is a great support group on Facebook that might have more answers. But try to keep us updated too....
I understand being a downer with the outlook of the whole situation. I feel like every new day is a new symptom. Did your doctor suggested that you needed to seen off the meds if you're coming off...
That's great news for you, especially about the coming off the ppi if you're feeling better soon! I thought switching might help but my doctor seems to think otherwise. I don't think he knows...
I haven't had nissen myself but I've read a lot that have, it seems a lot of people have different recover stories and time frames. You're still fairly early days to recovery and it's expected that...
Leaving where...?...
I feel as though the shaking could be anxiety with me, but I don't think I am anxious enough to warrant medication. It only has been happening when waking in the morning recently. I still...
Yeah, it seems anxiety and stomach issues nearly always go hand in hand. My doctor wanted to put me on lexapro but I wont take it. I also read that a lot of anxiety drugs can weaken the LES but I...
Yeah, I too had the thoughts of them bring related and hoped if I can get rid of the gastritis then the esophagus Would go. I wish I had a reason to not take the ppi for a While as I would love to...
Hey, So I've been having a burning throat, day to day, along with esophagitis, I've been to the doctor multiple times but nothing is working so I'm trying to protect both my throat and esophagus from...
My doctor seems to want me to get the colonoscopy too so I will. Yeah the stress can't be avoided, and it sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Do you find working takes your mind off your...
If your medication is making you throw up, can you consult with your doctor for an alternative pain killer?...
Kay88 - Thanks I'll keep that in mind. GuitarGerd - that seems like a good option. I'm going to look into buying one. Thanks. Did you test the water yourself? And if yes, can you explain how?...
Yes I completely agree with you. I had gastritis then started my ppi and got reflux up to my throat. I'm wondering if I suffer from low stomach acid. I have been reading this...
Yeah you're right, I have a GI appointment made but I don't know when I'll get seen. I might go private to an ent for just a consult. Then switch back to public if procedures are needed. Sounds like...
Ignore it and it will go away is such a stupid thing for them to say. My throat is the most painful for me. We will get through it you're right. So far the Gaviscon advance is pretty good for the...
Does anyone have any good recommendations on a wedge pillow? I looked on Amazon but they seem quite expensive. Are there any cheaper?...
Thanks for the tip, Ill try that out too....
Thanks, are they good or does the water taste odd?...
I couldn't agree with you more. I do think it could be the ppi but my doctor tells me to keep taking them so I don't want to stop. It's annoying, I want to see a GI so bad but it will probably be...
Ill let you both know if the Gaviscon advance helps after I've used it for a while. I try to really eat anything I can manage but last few days I've been bedridden and unable to stomach any types of...
So I went to see my doctor and here's what I got.. I got Gaviscon advance. He doesn't want to change my ppi as he thinks I will get excessive diarrhea (which I basically have with omeprazole). He is...
Hey, I live in Ireland so obtaining alkaline water is quite difficult. I was wondering if anyone has any tips to buy it cheaply or another method of obtaining it. Thanks...
Hey, So I've been thinking about how I always read gnawing stomach pain as a symptom of gastritis (which I have) but I wanted to explain it and see if others can confirm that this feeling is in fact...
Yeah that was my thought process but I literally couldn't handle the nausea. If you think anxiety is worsening your gerd I would say try them for a 6 week period....
I can't say for sure but my doctor prescribed lexapro 3 days ago and I took it twice (5mg at night) and woke up feeling so sick and nauseous. I couldn't eat all day and this did my reflux no good. I...
LPR go away -, yes I will ask my doctor about a higher dosage. You're right, I've done a lot of research. Too much probably. FearBug - I too wonder if mine was NSAIDs but I wasn't taking any prior to...
I don't think it's all in our heads. I do believe anxiety can add to it but there is more than likely an underlying reason. I agree, it's great to connect and talk with others. I will be going to my...
I don't have any person experience or information but maybe this will help http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=45&m=2275553...
Yeah I know I really wish it would all just end too. It's completely ruined my quality of life. Yeah I read a lot about how the medication could also have lowered my stomach acid so much that then my...
Yeah I've been on 40mg of omeprazole for 6months now. My doctor just says "they're all the same" I live in Ireland and heard of Gaviscon advance so I'm going to see if my doctor can get me that. I...
Hey sorry to hear about your issues. I read your story and I can relate to most but not all of it, for example the heart palpitations. I have changed eating habits numerous times to no avail. Each...
Hey, I had this idea, that anyone at all interested, with any condition, could get together and talk about it. It may help us find connections in what works and what doesn't and lift some pressure...
I understand that pain, how did you cope from 14 onwards? Have you been taking antacids since? I use slippery elm which can help. Sorry I'm not much help but I'm sure someone here can....
Hey Minou87, how is the recovery going?...
Thank you for your reply, My stomach aches and I have a constant sore throat but no typical heartburn like the burning sensation people talk about. Nothing behind the breastbone....
SharonZ - you may be right, it's so hard to tell and so difficult to eat. FearBug - I wrote a post about my story here http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=45&m=3828229 It would be...
Hey, I have only been diagnosed with gastritis and esophagitis so far but today and yesterday I had 100% no appetite and now I feel so shaky and sick. I'm just lying in bed not knowing what to do. I...
Hey lpr go away, I'm in a very similar boat to you I think. Would you care to have a chat with me?...
Hey everyone, I have been having an upset sore stomach since around September. My doctor prescribed me 40mg of omeprazole. In February I started to get an insanely sore throat. There were lumps and...
I have said to my doctor I get no relief from omeprazole but he does nothing. I'm so sick of having a terrible doctor who won't listen. He berates me over visiting him "too much". Since I have...
