Just another update... I'm doing so much better. I've stuck to my regimen of 2-3 ounces of Almond Milk morning and night. I also have it with dinner if I think it might be a problem (like I've slowly...
Decaf coffee with almond milk. Coffee isn't a huge trigger for me anyway, but the almond milk helps counter the acidity....
I was diagnosed by my ENT who scoped me and saw it right away. It was just within the last few weeks, but I've been having symptoms for a while. Not everyone experiences all the symptoms. For me, I...
Thanks bythesea! I'm convinced the almonds and almond milk have really made a huge difference. I get up every morning about the same time I was waking and taking the mediation, but instead now I have...
I take the Alive Multivitamin gummy for women, one in morning, one in evening. I also take B12 and calcium w/D gummies (chewables are just my preference). You mentioned your Dr. and Nutritionist are...
Heard from someone else suffering with similar withdrawal, so it prompted me to post another update for anyone following my story. I went to the follow-up with my Gastroenterologist just yesterday....
I think coming off a PPI cold turkey, or even weaning off it, can cause all kinds of weird symptoms. I did do a google search on: PPI neutropenia and the very first result was some research on the...
If the stomach pain is severe, combined with vomiting, he really should go to the ER because it can be several things that area quite serious. Infected gallbladder is one. Pancreatitis is another....
For what it's worth (and it's just one doctor), my ENT yesterday was not a big believer in altering diet in any big major way. He said to avoid obvious triggers and spicy food, to eat things that are...
Just wanted to give an update to anyone following along. This is now week three with no PPIs. CATSCAN came back normal (other than very small umbilical hernia). H Pylori was negative. Negative for...
I haven't had surgery but am going through what I think is at least partially PPI withdrawal, and it includes dizziness and a "foggy head" sensation. Also extreme fatigue. Of course I can't be sure...
I understand. It can be very difficult when your doctor is helping advise you but the solutions seem to contradict her/him or is confusing. When I just saw the new gastro doc I was so glad he didn't...
Have you or your doctor considered it might be a side effect of the Omeprazole? I only suggest it because after a year of being on a PPI I developed a lot of similar symptoms to you. I have no idea...
Hi Sharon... it's a few years ago now. I just saw the Gastro doc on Friday though, so he may end up ordering one depending on how my CT looks and other things. Another update: I went for the CT...
Great info Nate... thanks!...
FYI: I had a bad gallbladder for 3 years (and lived on a low fat diet to avoid surgery as long as I could). HIDA scan never picked up my problem, but it did eventually have to come out. MRCP was the...
Wanted to say I appreciate your story and the information you're sharing. Also, while it's nowhere near what you're going through, I remember that trapped gas feeling in the shoulder from when I had...
Just another update... Went to gastroenterologist today. He was great. Listened to my story and asked a ton of questions. I didn't feel he was dismissing me or rushing me. He sent me for more blood...
Thanks Cagu. Like many around these parts I've been doing tons of internet research (which can be good and bad). Thanks for the additional info. The b12 wasn't new which is why I mentioned it. I did...
Just wanted to thank you for all the information in your posts. Lots of great stuff to think about. I suspect I may have bile reflux, have a ton of gas, am suffering withdrawal from PPI (I think) and...
Update: was back in ER this morning. For some reason they did a CAT scan on my head (I guess because one of my complaints is dizziness)... it was normal. They repeated all blood work... normal except...
It wasn't helping completely so that's why I decided to come off (again, not knowing about withdrawal or rebound). My doc had prescribed it like this: "seems like the shortness of breath might be...
Hey all, I'm having a lot of health issues right now that seemed to start with a stomach virus and me coming off my 40mg daily of protonix / pantoprazole. Had bad virus and came off PPI in January...
