  Hug

  From glenda7 September 16

  Not sure if this had ANYTHING to do with it...but I had my first and only child (except for my yorkie and lab) at age 40...the whole first year was bliss, except for so much stress between my husband and I unfortunately...seems the worse our stress got, a couple of yrs later I started getting mildly and quickly queasy..never even got that when I was pregnant! So 6 mo later, I did a scope and colonsopy and found out I had mild gastritis and IBS...NO BIGGIE THEY SAID..."DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE GASTRITS?! MY DOC SAYS..." And I still felt great so I didn't worrry too much, took my Nexium and Lebramax and really had no problems until AFTER Lauren gave me the tummy flu...several mos after that I was diagnosed with mild gastroparesis (slow stomach) they said it would prob straighten out on its own in one yr and it did, but it was HELL AND SCARY. My new GI Spec suspected that I was hanging onto a bacterial infection from the virus, so he put me on stomach antib for it. This all started Sept 05 and I didn't really feel like myself (consistently) until 2007! I think a positive attitude, love, staying busy, taking meds as prescribed, staying away from all wine, and unfortunately carbonated drinks is a good rule of thumb...although I've beend drinking A LOT OF SPRITES for the past few weeks. Water and Decaf tea gets so boring! I take it you did not have the H Pylori? Me either...he thinks it got started from bile reflux...I was always a big social girl and drank a lot while out, I wonder if I did this to myself, but they say no, prob not! I look around at others my age and older that still drink like fishes and they are fine, so you know...you just never know! I'm just so grateful for the excellent year I've had.

  Prayer

  I'll pray for you! Check out my profile...I know what you are going thru...hang tough...I take liquid carafate 3-4 times per day, Nexium x 2 per day and Tiagon for the queasies. I've had it for almost 5 yrs now and I'm doing much better, gained all my weight back...sometimes I even feel completely normal then here it comes reminding me it's still there! I can eat most anything I want, but have my bad days. Never Give up, NEVER LOOSE FAITH!!!
