I don't think gerd is caused by being overweight. I'm sure its people who have a loose LES for what ever reason. But if your one of those unlucky people and overweight, then I think it causes alot...
Changed diet completely since 01/19. Low carbing it, kind of tuff but workable. Don't eat 3.5 hrs before bed. Some carbs are getting by because I've been eating fruit-fresh. Little bit of fruit...
Its interesting to me that more people haven't posted to this thread. I'm wondering if my guess is closer than I thought. Like I said its a large part of my problem that I just kept refusing to...
Great Question.... I am overweight and finally doing something about it. Gerd has gotten so bad something has to be done. In 1991 I was 245lb 37/m. Starting in 1992 I stopped working out and by 1998...
Well I had the gallbladder out 3 months ago. No change in Gerd. I really thought that was it, no such luck. The day I was told it needed to come out was same day a book. Of course I threw that on the...
I have no idea about that, blockages I guess like gallstones and some form of crystals too. Its a very common condition, and I don't think ultrasounds should be the only tests....
Oh I know I still have the gerd problem, but I never did get much heart burn with mine. Some but that wasn't the big problem, its the chest pain and lower stomach pain, all associated with eating. I...
Check out my last post on gall bladder. I thought mine was always gerd related, finding out now maybe not. If you still have your gall bladder maybe check into that. I have had same problem as you...
After all these years and countless dollars spend on meds and books, "I" finally asked Doc for gall bladder test. Ultrasound came back negative. HIDA scan came back ejection fraction of 8.8% normal...
I have the same thing. Not all the time, but lately. A beer will bring it on fast. I think its just another part of this. I've had it for years and heart was checked with numerous tests. Plus if it...
I thought mine was gall bladder too. Had ultrasound and hyda scan- both came back neg. Upper edg is the best, not a ton of fun but they give you good drugs so I never really mind it. I've had about 5...
Koree, you have very similar problems as mine. That pain and shortness of breath, I'm on my 3rd day of chest pain because I over ate Monday night and I had been feeling great. I'd watch carbs and if...
I had been watching carbs, using yogurt, apples, honey and vinegar. Still say yogurt and apples work best. During three days felt the best I have in months. Last night ate pasta, and too much, chest...
Yes, I've dealt with it for years. Tightness in chest, shortness in breath. If I lie on my back its hard to get my breath. Not so much jaw pain but if its bad, some. When it hits bad I'm totally...
I found this site 3 days ago and have been suffering with this for years. I feel the best I've felt in months today. I cut out all snack foods. Started in on plain yogurt until store gets goats milk...
I agree with Jocaste, this is only 3rd day on yogurt,honey,apples and 1 slice of bread w/ peanutbutter in the morning. Lite lunch and lots of veg. protein type dinners. I made the mistake of trying...
I agree about lowering carbs is worth a try and I'm doing that also. But I do also know apples help and just discovered that yogurt does too, at least with me. Not so sure how honey fits in, but none...
Glad I found this site. I've had this Gerd problem for at least 13 years. Had the sallowing part of it, nexium took care that-10 yrs ago. I've had all the tests,EDG,rods down throat,scans,etc. Along...
