    I am so scared right now.  Nothing helps this awful reflux disease.  I hate it so much.  I am suffering beyond belief.  I am in so much pain.  My face, my ears, my stomach feel like it is on fire.  I am not eating, once a day maybe.  I lost 10 pounds last week.  No doctor can help me, I have been EVERYWHERE.  I have tried everything. 

     I just met the man of my dreams, my husband.  God sent me a miracle, I've been praying for 7 years.  I am scared this disease will drive him away.  It takes my life away from me.  I am tired of suffering.  I want to be healed.  Is there any hope?  I have tried everything to beat this disease, and nothing helps.  I can't even tell u the hell I live in with this.

If I had one wish I would wish to be normal.  No one should have to suffer like this.

 

Please,

 

Gabby

    Dear Gabby,
    My heart really goes out to you and I am praying for you.
    Believe me I know your pain, but God knows it even more. Call out to Him and He will come in and be your comfort. I have severe reflux also and have suffered as you are suffering now. There were times I did not want to live, it was that terrible.
    A month ago I decided to go to a Naturopathic doctor. On the first visit he told me most gerd suffers are suffering due to allergies. I had a blood test taken to find out what foods I am allergic to, than I stopped eating these foods. Little by little I found myself getting better. and I can honestly say at this point I am feeling 80% improved. My meds are down to one pill a day. I was taking at least 8 Protonix & Zantac) with lots of Tums in between these pills. At this juncture I might even be able to stop taking any pills at all, but I am still a little afraid to give them entirely. May I suggest you go to a Naturopathic doctor and get tested for allergies. This could be your problem also. My husband decided to join me in my venture and he stopped eating the foods I am allegic to and he is also feeling better, not to mention losing almost 15 lbs. I've started to drink a little coffee from time to time, 7-up, tomatoes, and chocolate with no reflux reaction. A few times I ate a small amount of the foods I am allergic to and noticed a reflux reaction within a few hours. I wish you all the best and hope you will give this a try.

Journal Entry for October 30, 2007 Mood
Tuesday, October 30, 2007

Hi, it's Gabbs.  I'm not doing too great at all.  I have been crying all morning and can't stop the depression from encompassing me.  I am in so much distress and the pain is unbearable.  My body is so messed up from my eating disorder, I really feel hopeless about this situation.  I pray to God all the time but I never get anywhere with it, I feel alone and I feel like there is no one to help me.  I feel as though there is no plan for my life, I hate my life right now and I wish I was someone else.  Sorry but Im just being honest.  I hate bulimia and I wish I could go to sleep and wake up 4 years ago when this mess started in my life.  I wish I wasn't here.
