Hi so I'm crying right now because I recently just had my first stool test and blood test for food intolerances after four years of severe IBS symptoms.

My symptoms include tight chest pain, sore throat, the feeling of lump in the throat as well as the upper stomach pain, almost like someone punched my stomach. Since I started the medication, I cut down a
I used to take famotidine regularly, and chewable tums/alka seltzer for immediate relief. I recently went on a Disney vacation where my heartburn was absolutely awful, and it was already bad before I went. My mother, whom I love dearly, unfortunately tried to get me to go gluten free for the millio
