FAMOTIDINE vs IBUPROFEN FAMOTIDINE

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

About a month ago, I started having this weird sensation in my testicles. Almost like a slight achy feeling. I figured it was blue balls and decided to wack off to alleviate it. Nope. Didn't work. Actually it made it hurt worse. I went online and looked up my symptoms and found things such as testic

As the title says, I needed to get my IUD replaced today. I didn't have a fantastic experience the first time, and I made the mistake of reading last week's IUD horror story post, so I was REALLY nervous. Although I am NOT AT ALL discounting those stories-- there are many, many people an IUD doesn

That's the metal scissor like clamp/forceps they use to deeply double pierce the cervix to keep it in place while they insert an IUD. Has anyone's doctor mentioned the metal barbs that sink into our cervix prior to the procedure or offered adequate pain killers/anesthetics? I thought you all should

I was trying to keep things to two posts. But I realized while compiling everything that part 2 was just too damn long. So I've divided it into a part 3. For those who commented in mass to get cameras. I will, when I can afford it. I'm still in financial recovery from buying a house last year. And a

I (21, F) have never been able to insert a tampon or even a fingertip into my vagina my entire life. I have also always had 7-9 day, heavy and incredibly crampy periods (until I used birth control pills to regulate them to 4 days.) I waited for my wedding night this past February to try vaginal sex
