Thank you for your advice Scaredy Cat. Are you saying to get him a gift? I am just asking because I plan on buying him nothing. I have very ill feelings towards him. I am not making the environment a...

Thank you Straydog. Yes I would like to although she is not very fond of going to the doctor. She wants to wait a couple days to see if the symptoms subside. I have always been one to "rush" to the...
Hello, I have posted here about myself, as well as the other conditions, ( I am all over the place..lol) I have a concern regarding my 16 year old daughter. She has told me last night that upon...

Thank you SC for your comforting words, and advice! I agree to have our daughter give him a present. This situation has been hell for me for the past two years. First of all, when he came back home,...

Thank you straydog for taking the time to respond to my posts and for your understanding. You are so right in everything you said. I have a tendency to want to try and fix things or control things...
Thank you straydog. I drove to see my Mom today and when I got there they told me she rescheduled her surgery. I went to her house. She looks good under the circumstances and she says she feels good....
Also, I am sorry for all of the typos. I use my phone and it auto corrects almost everything I type :/ Thanks again for letting me vent :)...

I just found out my mom had a mass on a mammogram discovered a year ago and she never followed up. A couple months ago on a routine mammogram they discovered the mass is bigger. She never told anyone...
Thank you straydog! Yes I have an appointment, and I apologise, I do not see response from you on June 25 under my post. Could be a glitch? I was just looking to see if anyone had anything similar,...
Hi, I have a small amount of watery brown and sometimes a thick yellow small amount of discharge coming from one Montgomery gland only when I squeeze on one breast only. I am 43 yrs old, my last...
Hi, I had a little black spot on my aerola about half an inch away from my nipple. The black spot was so small, 10x smaller than a poppy seed. Anyway, I picked at it because i was curious of what it...
Thank you Dee716. It is hard to stay positive. I feel like it will never go away, but I know it will. Just seems like it's taking its time. Seems like you cut so much out of your diet and there is...
Dee716- Did you always have GERD, or did it come on at the same time your gastritis did. I am asking because I worry I will always have GERD long after the gastritis heals. Also, do you feel that by...
Dee716- Thank you, it helps to get positive reassurance :-) . Mine has been going on since January, so about 5 months for me too. I appreciate the helpful food tips. Sometimes the reflux is so bad,...
Hey Draegon- just throwing it out there for what it's worth, but a lump in the throat sensation can be related to acid reflux. It can also cause a variety of symptoms some of which you describe. I...
LPR, Glad to hear your tests went well and the burning in your throat has gone down, hopefully you continue to heal. I hope we all do. I always felt I had a stomach of steel, until this happened....
Patient21- That would be great to get a couple recipes, even just one would be wonderful, I will email you. Thank you! The Herbal tea worked great for me. It was Celestial Seasonings Lemon Zinger...
LPR- Glad your throat symptoms have been a little better. Every little bit helps right? I am not familiar with the PH test so I'm afraid I cant give much feedback. Is this a test you do at home? I...
Please let me know how that cookbook park works. I was thinking of buying that book myself. I was wondering how the testing went for LPR go away as well. I didn't know what that test was until I...
Wow, I was told to stay away from chocolate as it relaxes the sphincter therefore allowing the acid to get through. Also told to stay away from fat as it produces more acid to breakdown, as well as...
I could only hope I am improving!! Or maybe I finally found my remedy, LOL!! :yeah: Seriously though, I have had good days to where I feel like this thing is finally on its way out the door, then...
mik- that is a wonderful story, thanks for sharing! It is so good to hear success stories, it gives us going through bad times hope for getting through it. I agree that medicines that are good for...
I hear ya! I imagine if this goes on for me for another 2 months, I should get that testing as well, although I am not sure if my health insurance will pay for it. I am getting by day by day. Went...
cocktaildress I have not tried that, but I read to stay away from oil due to the high fat content, especially vegetable oil, so a little nervous to try it. thanks for the suggestion!...
My doctor said that I need to ween off of them because she said if not, there would be acid rebound. Plus I already knew about it after doing some research. When you had your endoscopy done, did they...
Thank you! I could only hope this is gone in a month. I have my good days and bad days on this medicine, but the bad days are better than the bad days on the other meds if that makes sense. I hate to...
Although gastritis is the inflammation of the stomach lining, we are thinking that it is somehow causing our acid reflux. It makes sense in my case as the reflux started when the gastritis started,...
Hold on.. I am wrong on my above post. I sat and thought about it for a minute. I did have reflux when the gastritis started before the PPIs, because I remember when I first went to the doc about my...
I do not know if gastritis causes acid reflux, I just know that I have both, and I am reading that some people that are reporting to have gastritis, have esophagitis as well. Here is a link that...
Well it is day 3 back on the pantoprazole and I definitely feel the difference for the better. I don't feel all PPIs are the same. The Prilosec (omaprezole) did not work well for me at all....
My doctor says in a month if I feel better, I can go off of the ppi. I have to wean off of it though. I have head it is pretty tough for some people to get off of them. That is my biggest fear at...
Anyone with gastritis and acid reflux, can you tell me what foods worked for you? What fruits or vegetables or anything that did not give you the burning stomach? is skim milk ok? It seems like I...
Kay88- I wish I could get off PPIs as I worry about low stomach acid. I tried myself, but no matter how bland I ate, the pain was unbearable. I have had this since January. I have wondered how little...
I am reading about a lot of those who have esophagitis along with gastritis such as myself. Do these always accompany one another, are they related? It seems I had absolutely no acid reflux until i...
Good luck with your testing. I hope you do well off thePPIs. I feel that I feel worse at work, as I sit all day doing accounting, so I can't relax the way I want to when I feel bad. At home, we...
I haven't had a colonoscopy. It was not really suggested, but it was mentioned to me. I don't have any problems with going or pain in that area. You think that's a necessary test for gastritis? The...
