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. I was diagnosed yesterday evening with a severe case of C Diff (to the point where I have extensive colon and intestinal damage and am on the verge
**EDIT: I should have been much more clear in my language; I don't think I'm cured of anything, I have only had my symptoms reduced to essentially nothing from where they were previously (I took tums or famotidine 1-2/day to control what I would call mild to moderate acid reflux symptoms).** **I'm v
Still so surreal. I was just another sub member for years, trying everything under the sun for GERD and slowly losing hope. Till I had none. Like many of you, I went through the whole gauntlet - endless tests, endoscopies, pH tests, you name it. When surgery finally became my only option, I was unea
Hi everyone, Just wanted to share something I wish I'd known earlier: I was on esomeprazole (40mg daily) for over 15 years. No one warned me about long-term side effects, especially around nutrient absorption. Over time I developed severe fatigue, brain fog, and eventually iron deficiency anaemia.
Summary of my experience as some tips for LPR sufferers!!! Hey everyone I just came back from my ENT and I finally got diagnosed with LPR!!! It’s been months of me trying to get a doctor to believe me and finally, and ENT at Brigham and women’s hospital in boston Massachusetts diagnosed me. Her name
I’ve been a 25+ year user of omeprazole 10mg daily low dose. Suffer from hiatal hernia, gastritis, GERD, etc. Even with the daily dose of my PPI, I would still get flare ups and the sensation of a ball stuck in my esophagus. It’s been a battle, a very painful one. After recent studies, I decided to
Hi, I'm suffering from gastritis and GERD for about a month, and was prescribed PPI 40mg a day. 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

Before anyone starts jumping about hormonal imbalance and stuff you can do worse stuff with over the counter medication. I am pretty sure you can't kill yourself with birth control nor develop an algeric reaction. Honestly I read about worse side effects in over the counter medication than birth con
I suffered from crippling gastritis for over 10 years, it affected my mental and overall health, took all the medicines, diets, lifestyle changes you can come up with and more, visited several doctors and did all the test (even gallbladder, pancreas and liver tests) and stomach PH, Sibo. Its likel
Hello Everyone, I've been a lurker for a long time, and chime in every now and then. I have been a Long Hauler for nearly a year now, with pretty strong recent improvements, albeit not 100% yet. A friend asked me to send them some information recently, and since I had intended on writing my thoughts
This is what I did for my health journey to recover from Long COVID. It's entirely built from scratch using only peer reviewed research articles that I found in reputable journals and on the National Institutes of Health government website. Where possible, I've relied on meta-analysis of research.
I understand many of those with ME/CFS are already managing MCAS. This post is geared towards those who are here because they have Long Covid/PASC. If you're unsure if your symptoms could be MCAS, keep reading. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is the most common form of systemic Mast Cell Diseas
Duexis, as most of you know, is the combination of ibuprofen and famotidine which Horizon thinks is worth over $2000 per month. Now Express Scripts won't allow the generic which is at least a bit less money, or logically not pay for any of this nonsense.
