Thank you for your input, SharonZ. I have been reading about CBD oil and "they" claim that it is helpful for pain, nausea, stress, etc. But at what dosage. I have been taking Tagamet more regularly...
Good morning, fellow sufferers, It's been 5 months since I quit my PPI cold turkey (BAD idea!) and I am still suffering horrible rebound acid reflux, burning, and nausea. I feel sick on just about a...
Hello, all fellow sufferers, Well, it's been almost 2 1/2 months since I stopped taking my PPI (after 20 or so years of being on the stuff), and it's been ROUGH! I have tried all sorts of "kitchen"...
It's been a challenge, to say the least. Some days are better than others, however, and I'm thankful for the good days! It's amazing the things that help and don't help. For instance, drinking plain...
Thanks for your reply! I found that Kombucha was too harsh for me too. I've been experimenting with a variety of natural remedies for my acid refux, which went into hyper-over-drive since I stopped...
P.P.S. Ever heard of the Stretta procedure?...
P.S. I have an appointment with a new gastro guy in August. He's going to think I'm nuts for trying all of these "kitchen remedies" -- scared that he's going to recommend the surgery. Ug. Thought...
My boss brought in a bottle of GTS Kumbucha Organic & Raw Gingerade this morning and gave us all a shot glass full. Hmmmm...the first sip was a shocker, but the more I sipped, the better it tasted....
Just curious, has anyone tried Kumbucha for GERD, hearburn, acid reflux?...
Has anyone heard or tried Kumbucha (fermented tea) for GERD?...
I appreciate the information. I've been doing a lot of reading on the subject these past few days from my computer here at work since we are not on-line at home. Things have been extremely slow at...
Oh my goodness. What a journey you've been on! What would happen if you actually needed to vomit? What if you got a stomach virus or food poisoning? I also have a hernia, was first diagnosed with...
P.S. It's odd, but one of the things that REALLY gives me some serious heartburn is plain ol' water! And I use a Pur water filter. I will be doing just fine, and then drink some water, and that's all...
Do you still take Protonix? What was your experience with the recovery?...
So, what I think I understand from your last reply is that you did not give up the PPI? Yes, quality of life is everything! What kind of surgery did you have? I'm glad to hear it was a complete...
Yeah ... I am more convinced than ever that is probably what I need to do. I've been soooooo miserable and sick. I've heard that it could take anywhere between two weeks to MONTHS for the rebound to...
Good, practical and wise advice, Sharon. Thank you! It's gotten to be more than I can handle right now. Tomorrow I will put a call in with my GP....
Thanks for your reply, Sharon. I forgot to add that I did quit cold turkey. NOT a good idea. But since I'm almost at 2 weeks going without, would it be back-tracking if I go back on and then taper...
Good morning: I am a 59 year old female who has been taking PPI’s regularly for well over 20 years. A week and a half ago I decided to discontinue my PPI’s, after reading and hearing about the...
