Thanks guys, I had wondered why he had changed so much, no energy, always tired, couldn't get excited about anything like going anywhere, doing anything, no sex for 2+ years, but then I have had...
I am writing about my husband who has osteoarthritis and his testosterone level is 92, he is 58 years old. He already saw a urologist and he gave him an injection. He saw an endocrinologist today and...
/community/emoticons/turn.gif I have been sorting through cookbooks and recipes for food that my husband can eat. We are both getting so tired of eating the 8 things all the time. My husband is...
/community/emoticons/eyes.gif I am so glad to hear that you guys do understand that I have been where you have been, I was in so much pain if they had said, this will help you, but you'll you deaf...
Hello there! /community/emoticons/yeah.gif Geez I sure hope you're not like me, I develop scar tissue following surgery or injury. It's usually a few month past the injury or surgery. I had a...
/community/emoticons/eyes.gif Dear Hopeless, it may not be as bad as you think. I was going through menopause and night sweats and sweat a new patch off three times!! It really depends on your track...
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif Well, here goes: I haven't even named it! Brown rice, make according to servings 1 can Pinto beans, organic has no spices 1 can Black beans, rinse spices away 1 cup...
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif Hi folks, A while back a few of us were exchanging recipes, anyone find anything tasty? I got one, it is tasty, but a lot of work. I do it once every two weeks, and...
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif Katie1808, My husband talked with his GI doc about herbal, supplements, and other health stuff, the doc told him that it can be dangerous because the supplements and...
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif Hi Pamela, My husband has the same thing you have. He was in Reno playing in a poker tournament, he made it to the final table, but what this really meant was he hadn't...
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif I was on pain patch for 5 years, with 2 years of neck and shoulder tightness, and a never-ending headache. I thought, at first, that menopause was giving me this...
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif o3Mach, Bravo! I think. I have just had the same thing happen to me. I was in a bad car accident in 1994, was struggling with it, set an appt. to see another doc to get...
/community/emoticons/eyes.gif /community/emoticons/smile.gif DKD, I know more about scar tissue than I know about my own family! I have been injured a few times and the scar tissue growing...
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif James, That's why I don't talk about it to very many people, but many an old timer has come up to me after a meeting when they knew about my surgeries and when I had...
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif Hi James! Happy Holidays to you and yours (if you can /community/emoticons/eyes.gif ) In 1992 I had a bad skiing accident, tore up my knee and my thumb so bad if it...
/community/emoticons/eyes.gif I spoke with, of all people, my butcher as I ordered halibut, again. I told why dinner was not so exciting anymore, my husband has Reflux or GERD and has to eat bland....
I know three people who have had reflux and gallbladder problems, and they had their gall bladder removed. They are still having the same problems months and years later. I didn't do any good at all...
/community/emoticons/scool.gif I have known so many people who have had digestion problems, ulcers, hiatal hernias, GERD, gastritus, and stomach cancer. My Father had them all, and cancer, of...
/community/emoticons/nono.gif If you have reflux, I sure wouldn't advise it. My husband was told NO acidic foods. I think of a worse acidic food than vinegar! If you live through it, let me know!...
/community/emoticons/eyes.gif Sure don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but you should see your Doc about Barrett's Esophagus. If you have had Reflux for years, you may have bumped up to the...
/community/emoticons/scool.gif If you are having what feels like a tight throat, are you having trouble swallowing? If you are having trouble swallowing, see your Doc ASAP. My Father started with...
/community/emoticons/scool.gif A hiatal hernia is when part of your stomach bulges up into your chest cavity. Duodenal is the word that describes the small opening to your stomach, in particular,...
/community/emoticons/scool.gif Gross or not, it is what it is, I had the same thing. A sharp pain on the right side where my ribs are, it turned out to gas! Boy was I embarrased. At the time I was...
Hello Jasmine, I don't want to be abrasive here, but you have a serious diagnosis, it can be a pre-cancerous condition. Speak with your doctor about things to avoid. This is of utmost importance. My...
Geeez! Well, I have noticed that when I eat anything my stomach isn't used to digesting, it saves the gas from that wonderful experience and lets me "have it" at the worst possible time. Perhaps, if...
Rena, Don't know if this will help, it's just an experience I had. I was eating Chinese food, fried rice (not greasy) was very hungry and took a big mouthful, and when I tried to swallow it, it felt...
Hang in there Dee, my husband's throat and mouth didn't get better until he'd had the stomach under control for a while, he damaged much of his throat and mouth with the acid stomach. Once he was...
Lonibel; Good to know you're still out there!...
Glad you had docs check you out, the only person I've that had your symptoms was my Father, he had esophagal cancer! Can't be too careful. I always say,"make sure it's not something bad BEFORE you...
Hi Folks! Came to bring a new recipe idea in case your longing for a new taste. My husband and I call it "Roll Ups." I get: 1 can Pinto Beans, with no spices, just beans and water (sometimes have to...
I'm guessing stress knows no age, but I could be wrong. I have had chest tightness, like someone is sitting on my chest along with sharp pains. When it's happened, I've told my husband, "I feel like...
I never heard of "morning sickness" related to GERD. I'll have to keep my eye out for my husband if he starts to have it, I can tell him, others experience the same, not extrodinary. Geez, someone...
/community/emoticons/cool.gif Thanks so much all you guys, just knowing there are other people out there who have already been there, or that I can speak out about is a big help. Even though I'm not...
It think it is very interesting the medication factor. If you back way off this part of the body and look at the body as a whole; people who diet, lose weight then eat again and gain weight, they...
/community/emoticons/eyes.gif One thing I've found for sure, not all doctors keep current with the latest statistics, research, or colleague findinds and correlations. You could go to three...
Just one experience, maybe not yours, but it happened to me. I strained my back while miving something in the garage. I went to the Doc and he prescribed Soma,a muscle relaxer that has codeine in it....
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif Lenny, He took 2 Prevacids twice a day for about a year plus. Now he takes one day. There is definitely a correlation between a day of stress and his breath being sour...
Sorry, I asked for responses if anyone tried it, but forgot to check email response box. If you try warm water with meals and it works, let me know, I'm beginning to think that doctors tell people...
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif Okay, I'm going to put this out there, I heard this from a friend that started having stomach problems. She heard this from her gastrointerologist, he told her to drink...
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif Harry, Take a look and Lenny66 posting, he also has noticed weird symptoms from the meds. You guys might be on to something! Keep posting, run a poll this weekend!...
/community/emoticons/cool.gif Thanks Lenny! I joined this group because my husband has GERD, Reflux or something like that, it makes cooking for him a nightmare. It was hard enough to cook for him...
I have absolutely thought I was having a heart attack. My husband says it's probably muscular, and earlier in the day I had worked in the garden, so I figured he was probably right. But, in January I...
I would like to hear from someone who has actually had it done. There are always promises, promises, you never here about the down side, they don't to talk about that. Since we pretty much have to...
Yes, pregnancy and GERD are not strangers. With the added space the baby takes up, stomach contents you be pushed up easier. Everyone! Please check the more official sites, which even with as much...
Hi Lonibell, I wondered if you got the recipe I put up yesterday, I didn't realize it went to LaznNye or what ever, I put it up for you and others looking for new recipes. In the Metitterrean,...
The only way we have peace in this house is if I can vary the menu. My latest find is, of course, a modified recipe. It is Mediterranean Chicken and Orzo. Don't let the name throw you off. When my...
Dear JazZynNate, Please don't panic yet. Heartburn and/or GERD depends a great deal on your lifestyle anyway, unless, of course, there is something only a doctor can treat. I don't know anything...
Lonibel, I think it's a great idea! I'll post a new one every week. I'll look for more at the nearby health food store. I bought a book supposedly with GERD recipes, but many of them have onions,...
